Q Do I need a reservation for my dog? A Yes, it is necessary, due to our highly popular program and the strictly pre-screened limited number of dogs we accept.

		Q Do you require vaccination for all dogs? A Yes, of course. Every dog accepted, must have its updated vaccination record from its veterinarian. Q How do you prevent parasites? A Flee and tick prevention is mandatory because of our upstate location and the numerous activities outside. Any dog showing signs of parasites will immediately go through a mandatory flea/tick treatment. We reserve the right to refuse any dog. Q Can I send my dog’s favorite toys? A Sorry, no need for toys from home. We have a line of high quality, safe, interactive dog toys. Q What about food? A The safest thing is to give your dog its own food. We ask every owner to pack the food in zip-lock bags for each day with feeding instructions. Q How do you avoid dogfights in a socialized setting? A First of all, our dogs are pre-screened. We do not accept unaltered dogs. In the run, we separate small dogs from the big ones and supervise all dogs closely. Q Where is my dog going to sleep? A In New York City the dogs stay with us in the house. However, upstate, they sleep in the heated, air-conditioned and video monitored “dog house.” Since the activities and daytime interactions of socialized boarding are very demanding on the dogs, it is important that they get plenty of rest, and a distraction free secure place to eat. Therefore, dogs sleep and are fed separately. Q Can you pick up or drop off my dog on Saturday? A Sorry but the last pick up and drop off of the week is always on Friday at 7:00PM. The next pick up or drop off is late Sunday night or early Monday morning. Q What about long weekends and holidays? A When Friday and/or Monday is a holiday, or during a given boarding period when we are unusually busy, we reserve the right to an earlier pick up and a later drop off. In case of such a situation, owners will be notified about changes 72 hours in advance. Q So, after all, how do I know if this is the right place for my dog? A First of all you will be asked to fill out an interview form. Your answers to our questions will help clarify our understanding your dog’s social behavior. Second, we always encourage prospective clients to arrange a visit with us upstate. Even though, we can only spend a very limited time with visitors, because of our busy schedule, it is certainly worth checking out our retreat. If you cannot check out the place, you may want to send a disposable camera along with your dog, so we can provide you with a photo journal of his or her time away from the family. So if you are planning a vacation without your dog, and you want him spending a worry free and fun-filled time while you are away, give us a call for an early reservation.
