start next Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dog have to share his run?
No, we will not DON'T DOG STACK your dog. If you have two dogs from the same home we are happy to board them together. We beleive it is better for them not to compete for bedding, space and food in their run. Our runs are big enough to comfortably accommodate three dogs, so if you want your pets together just let us know. We can also place your dogs in adjacent runs so they can have each others company through the wire fence while still having their own space.
Can we bring our own bedding?
Yes, though we do discourage it as we provide hygienic and comfortable large size trampoline beds with warm sheepskin rugs for those who feel the cold.
There are two schools of thought on this issue. One goes that if the pet has an item from home like a blanket that has the scent of home on it, the pet will be comforted by this association. Alternately it can be viewed that having the scent from home next to the pet only prolongs his or her adjustment to a new environment as the scent from home keeps reminding the pet of home. Both seem like reasonable theories.
If you do choose to bring items from home we charge a fee of $10 to cover handling and cleaning as we don't want to give back a dirty or wet blanket.

Can we bring in our dogs favourite toy?
Yes, though it's been our experience that dogs either completely ignore their toys, being more interested in all of our new and interesting toys or worse become possessive and defensive of their toy.
If you do choose to bring toys from home we charge a fee of $5.00 to cover handling and cleaning.
