General Information:

The Bichon Frise Get Away caters to the small pampered pet.   We will accept social guests up to 25 pounds or 20".   All males over the age of 6 months must be neutered.  

For the well being of all our guests, we prefer a "pre-interview" with all potential boarding clients to make sure our environment is the proper one for your pets care, and require a "pre-interview" for all terrier breeds. 

 Potential Health Risks: 

We take pride in running a clean, safe, FUN, place for your child, our "guest", to visit while you travel.  However, in boarding a pet, there are always risks.  "Kennel Cough" and "Giardia" are the most common conditions a boarding pet can incur while being a "guest" in a multi-pet facility.  

Giardia  is a very common parasite that lives in every pets system for a lifetime.   This condition can trigger active symptoms by the stress of boarding.  The symptoms are extremely runny, smelly stools.  The incubation period is 3-7 days.  Should this symptom occur,  a vet should be notified immediately.  This condition is easily treated with inexpensive medication.  Should your pet show active symptoms while in our care, medication will be used as needed.   Upon request, we can provide a detailed brochure provided by our vet with detailed information on Giardia.    

"Kennel Cough" is a commonly used term to denote an upper-respiratory condition.  Upper respiratory infections are  contagious, and are spread by airborne virus'.  The incubation period is 3-7 days.   The main symptom is a gagging cough, sometimes accompanied by sneezing and nasal discharge, which can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks.  Although this cough is very annoying, it does not usually develop into any thing more serious.  However, just as with the common cold, it can lower the dog's resistance to other diseases making him susceptible to secondary infections, so must be observed carefully.   Just as in the case of the common cold, this condition is not "cured" but must run its course.   Upon request, we can provide an in depth brochure written by the American Boarding Kennels Association, regarding "Kennel Cough" .  A Bordatella vaccine is required for all pets that board in our facility.

We will not take risks with any boarding client.   Should we feel your pet is in need of vet care for any reason, we will try and contact you for permission to do so.  However, we will not delay a vet visit should you not be reachable.   Any incurred vet bills will be added to your boarding bill.    

    WHAT TO BRING OR NOT BRING:

Keep in mind that this is a shared open area and all the "guests" are co-mingling.  Some "guests" are not as housebroke as others, and little boy dogs especially love to "mark" all incoming items as their own, and we therefore are very careful in how we have furnished our assorted dog areas.  

We have fully furnished suites for your pet to retire in, and a daily system for sanitizing bedding items.  Therefore we cannot accept  bedding, toys, blankets, etc. from home.   If you would feel more comfortable with your pet having a "scent" from home, you may bring a non-returnable blanket, towel or shirt.  

 If your pet requires a special diet:

Vaccines:

All guests are required to be current on vaccines, and must have had a Bordatella within the last year.   

HOURS OF OPERATION:

To insure the safety of all our pets, and to keep peace with our neighbors, we work By appointment only!   

Drop-off/Pick-up Times:  We have set drop-off/pick-up times to keep the "guests" from being disrupted all day long, which can be very stressful.  Additionally, having the afternoon hours to ourselves allows us time for chores, grooming, and playtime with the dogs. 

Monday - Friday: 8:00 - 12:00 am (Preferred check-in/out 8:00 - 10:00)  3:30-5:00 pm;        

Saturdays: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Sundays: Closed except by special need

We provide tours on "off hours" so we can devote 100% to you for questions during your tour.  We prefer these tours be conducted just before or after drop off and pick up time for the dogs...around 10:30 or 3:00 during the week.      

We are here to care for the dogs 7 days a week.   However, we are closed to the public Saturday afternoons, Sundays and all Major Holidays: ie: Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas.     

    RATES: 

All guests are required to have an ID tag with their name and phone number on it.  Pets without ID tags, will have an ID tag made for them, with  the $10.00 cost of the tag added to your bill.

Medication: Pills: $3.00 per day,  Eye Drops: $3.00, Shots: $5.00 per day
