Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We verify that dogs are spayed or neutered; that they are up-to-date on their vaccines (we require three: Rabies, Distemper (DHPP), and Bordetella); and that they're fit for a daycare environment by administering a Temperament Test followed by a trial period of complimentary daycare.
We schedule these Tuesday through Saturday between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and they generally last about 15-20 minutes. During the test we take your dog to our boarding room where we introduce them to two or three other dogs that we think may be a good fit, good temperament, similar size, etc., to make sure they are okay meeting and interacting with our current dogs. During the Temp Test, we have you fill out our new client info form, read over our policies and procedures, and sign your paperwork.
Vaccination records must be provided prior to the Temp Test. Your vet can email them to us or you can bring them with you.
If the Temp Test goes well we will bring your good dog back for some further monitoring and play on a separate day. Known as our Free Trial Day, there’s no appointment necessary and no charge, just drop off your dog and we’ll let them play off-leash for two to four hours to see how they act without you and around our staff and other dogs. We keep it to a maximum of four hours so as not to overwhelm your dog on the first day. Once they pass our Temp Test and Free Trial Day, you are more than welcome to start bringing them in for daycare and/or boarding.
