Food: To ensure we provide your pet with the most comfortable stay possible, we require you to bring your pet's own food. Kennel stay can be stressful and switching food can sometimes add unnecessarily. It is not uncommon to have your pet skip his/her first meal during their stay. In the event your pet's appetite not return after the first 24 hours we will take measures to entice him/her to eat. This may require; moistening dry food, adding a tablespoon of gravy, yogurt, etc.. If you pet has allergies, or you do not wish us to take these measures, please advise our receptionist at registration.

Leave the receptionist with the name and phone number of the person you have authorized. Remember to schedule a departure time that coincides with their schedule. All walk-ins will be denied.
