Common Questions & Answers
Are vaccinations required? Yes. Vaccinations done by pet owner must have the sticker from the vaccination as proof. Vaccinations are to be uploaded by pet owner into booking software before a reservation can be made to prohibit anyone who is not eligible to book taking up space for a dog who is vaccinated and wanting a kennel space. Breeder pamphlets handwritten without manufacturer packaging / information are not accepted.
How do I book? Online is best. Top right corner of this website says ‘Online reservations - booking software’ the link will take you to the Country Kennels Paw Partner booking software. Phone reservations are available if needed although please note we are extremely busy during pick up and drop off hours and may not be able to assist with phone reservations during this time. Everything has been designed to be completed online 24/7 at your convenience without having to contact someone via phone.
Do you allow intact dogs? Yes. Breeders, and hunters will find this especially beneficial.
Can my dogs share a kennel? Yes, as long as they fit in the 4x16 space, and are happy together. Family dogs are preferred together so they remain happy and calm as they would together at home.
What do I need to bring? Just a collar/harness and food. Please do NOT bring giant full bags of dog food. Food is placed on top of the kennels so lifting is troublesome for full 40 pound bags of dog food.
Can I bring my dogs bed? Yes, if at any time they are chewing it apart and it might become a choking hazard, we will pull it and only use the Kuranda dog bed.
What temperature is it inside? The thermostat is set to 68 degrees and adjusted accordingly to keep dogs warm & cool by the season.
Do you have AC? Yes. As well as large oscillating fans and a giant roll up door for air exchange for airborne illness prevention. Shade fabric and supervised pools also allow dogs to cool down.
Can my dog go outside? Yes. Besides being in the fully grassed dog runs of almost three acres of real grass, each kennel has indoor/outdoor access for dogs to freely move inside to outside as they please. The inside is 4x4 and once through the doggy door, the outside is 4x12 making each kennel 4x16. Only one size kennel for all dogs. We do not price on the size of the dog. All dogs are treated as a life, and cared for the same no matter how large or small.
How often do you let my dog out? Dogs are let out so many times a day it’s hard to count. We prefer dogs to not be in kennels, but playing outside instead.
What if the weather is bad? All outdoor kennel portions are covered with a roof and capped on the ends for wind protection. This keeps dogs in the shade, out of the rain and snow. A large indoor dog play area is available. When weather is unsafe for pets, we set timers and rotate pets inside/outside.
Can I tour? Yes. By appointment. Tours are not offered on weekends and not offered in the evenings. Follow instagram/facebook for videos, photos of the facility.
Can I bring raw food? Yes. We have a fridge.
Can my dog do drop in daycare? Yes, we take same day reservations, drop off and pick up between the hours of 7:00 am - 9:00 am and 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm by appointment only. Call for availability outside of the normal hours.
