Pet Boarding in Minnetrista, MN

Your pet(s) need to be current in Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella. Proof needs to be provided at the time your pet is boarded and maintained so that they are current at each visit.

Bordetella is commonly referred to as “kennel cough.” Simply put, it is like contracting the flu. You can compare the Bordetella vaccine with the flu shot. It may not keep you from getting the flu, but should lessen the symptoms, and duration. We strive to keep a clean boarding facility. Multiple pets in one environment just like with people increases the chance that a transmission could occur, that is why we require Bordetella for every pet.

If you sign up for a package with small group play then your pup will be able to play with friends. Our small group consists of 2 staff with up to 5 pups who are matched based on play style.

If you feel that your dogs will be happier in the same room together we are more than happy to have them share a room. However, if we notice that the dogs would be happier in separate rooms we will separate the dogs. We also can kennel dogs together and seperate them for sleeping or eating times.

We strive to provide each pet with whatever services they need to have a wonderful stay with us. Our staff will take special cases on a case by case scenario. Please give us a call to see if our staff can accommodate to your pet’s needs.

If this is your pet’s first visit, the owner is required to bring the pet in so that the proper paperwork can be done. If that is a problem we can easily arrange for you to come in advance of your pet’s stay, and fill out the needed paperwork. Please just let us know so we can make an appointment for you. If someone other than yourself is dropping off we will need to know the person’s name. If picking up, we will need to know the name and that person will have to provide ID before the pet will be released. Payment will need to be made in advance or made over the phone before pick up.

No, it is critical that we know what your pet is getting and the dose. If there should be an emergency and your dog needs emergency attention, we need to be able to tell the medical staff exactly what your pet is taking and provide the bottles. Medication needs to be in the original bottles with the dose clearly marked.

Depending on your pet’s needs, their medication may be covered in your daily boarding rate. If your pet needs 2 doses of medication 2 times a day or less, then it is covered. Insulin injections are $5.00 per injection per pet, and multiple medications or medications more than 2 times per day is $5.00 per day per pet. Supplements given in the form of treats or pills are considered medication.

We look at dogs on an individual basis. If your dog is human aggressive we will not be able to take them. The safety of our staff would supersede the ability to accept any aggressive dog. If your dog is dog aggressive then we would need to meet you and your dog to determine if we can meet your pet’s needs. Many times because of our individual attention philosophy, we can accommodate an aggressive dog. However, if we feel that we cannot control your dog around other dogs, due to size or aggression then we will not be able to take them. Again the safety of our staff and the other dogs would be priority.
