Do we bring our own bedding?
Canine Camp provides sheepskin mats for your dog’s comfort. The mats feature a high fiber density for excellent orthopedic comfort. A unique fiber blend keeps pets warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Personal bedding is allowed as long as it is washable. We will provide one complimentary laundering for stays of 7 days or more. Crates are permitted for small or medium-size dogs accustomed to sleeping in their crate. Canine Camp is not responsible for any damages.
What vaccinations will my pet need?
All dogs need to be current on the Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough vaccine), and DHLP vaccinations. Feline guests need to be current on the rabies and FVRCP vaccinations. You need to bring proof of vaccinations with a Vet Receipt. All pets must be free of fleas to prevent infesting other animals in the kennel.
Do we bring our own pet food?
If your dog is on a special diet, or if you prefer to bring your own dog food to minimize stomach upset, you may bring your own food pre-measured into plastic baggies for each day of their stay.
We are proud to serve - and sell - Premium Edge premium dog and cat foods for no extra charge to our boarding guests. Premium Edge pet foods are made only with the finest, freshest ingredients. Fresh, never frozen, human-grade meat is the number one ingredient in every formula. Containing no ground corn, by-products, wheat, or soy, your pet receives the best nutrition for optimal health. We have available Premium Edge Lamb and Rice Adult, Chicken and Rice Adult, Chicken and Rice Puppy and Senior Lamb and Rice formulas for dogs and Premium Edge Finicky Adult formula for cats.
How many times a day will my dog be fed?
We typically feed in the morning and in the evening, but we will
do our best to follow the owner’s requested schedule.
My pet requires medication; will you administer it?
Yes, we administer one veterinary prescribed medication for no
additional charge. Pets requiring two or more medications, or three
or more doses of a medication, will be charged $1.00 per medication.
Injections are $2.00 per day.
What is Canine Camp’s flea policy?
Canine Camp is a No Flea Zone. All pets must be free of fleas to prevent
infesting other animals in the kennel. We require a flea bath and/or Frontline application if we find fleas on a pet that has arrived for boarding or grooming. This is done at the owner’s expense. Frontline Plus is applied to the skin on the back between the shoulder blades and is an additional charge according to the size of the dog. Frontline Plus for Cats is also available. We strive to maintain a flea-free facility for the health and comfort of all our furry friends.
Can I bring my dog’s favorite toy?
We provide lots of toys for your dog to play with while they're at Canine Camp, but you may bring one special toy from home if you wish. Please be aware that your toy may be chewed up by feisty neighboring dogs or lost in our daily clean-up.
Can I pay for extra "Play Time" for my pet?
Exercise Time is included with each day’s boarding charge, but additional Play Time or one-on-one time with a camp counselor is available.
What is included in "Play Time" for my pet?
Play Time consists of 15 minutes of off-leash play time in a securely fenced area with a camp counselor. Your pet enjoys play and interaction with the counselor who engages your pet with balls, throwing discs, and other toys. If your pet doesn’t want to play, we gladly spend the time giving your pet lots of hugs and rubs.
With the owner’s permission and depending on the pet’s personality, the pet can be approved for interactive play with other dogs similar in size. Interactive play can include “swim” time in our wading pool during summer months.
Do you board cats?
Although we specialize in dogs many pet owners have both dogs and cats, so for their convenience we also provide cat boarding. In addition to their indoor kennel with nesting box, a separate fully enclosed outdoor play area is provided for your cat to exercise or to lounge, weather permitting.
How should I say Good-bye to my dog?
Remember that your dog will enjoy the social time here at camp so be calm but upbeat. Tell your dog to be a good boy/girl. Remain positive or they'll sense any separation anxiety on your part and become insecure themselves. Avoid lingering by keeping your good-byes short and sweet!
