Before Boarding
To ensure a seamless visit, we ask that all guests review our pre-boarding recommendations, including facility tours, required vaccinations, leash safety, and personalized feeding requirements prior to arrival.
Our experience has shown us that dogs that frequently visit our boarding kennel from puppyhood absolutely love coming here.
It is like their home away from home. Many older dogs (five years or older) that have never before been boarded may have a hard time adjusting to the kennel atmosphere.
We suggest that individuals who have older dogs that have not been socialized in a kennel begin with a very short stay (a day or two) to let them get used to the kennel environment. We also suggest that individuals who have geriatric dogs (10 years or older) that have never been boarded before consider using an in-home pet-sitting service.
It is recommended whenever possible to socialize your dog to a boarding kennel at a young age.
What to know before you board.
Older Dogs
We suggest that individuals who have older dogs that have not been socialized in a kennel begin with a very short stay (a day or two) to let them get used to the kennel environment.

We also suggest that individuals who have geriatric dogs (10 years or older) that have never been boarded before consider using an in-home pet-sitting service.
Toys & Treats
Up to 3 Toys
Please limit the number of toys to three items and label all toys clearly with your dog's name and your last name.
We feel it is important that your dog have a clean, comfortable bed to sleep on; however, we have instituted strict bedding requirements.
Bedding is available from us for a nominal rental fee. Please see our special services for more information.
Clients who provide us with food must present the food to us as described in our food policy.
Clients who feed their dog(s) other than Redford Naturals Lamb & Brown Rice products are encouraged to provide us with food, as a sudden change in diet can result in diarrhea.
Vaccinations Required
All dogs must be up-to-date on their vaccinations.
If you decide to use our kennel please be advised that all dogs must be leashed when on the premises. This is important because other clients will be coming and going with their dogs, and we are frequently providing obedience training lessons on the property.
