Eligibility - Limited spaces are available for eligible patrons which include:

Requirements – All animals must be examined by a Veterinarian to ensure they do not carry any contagious diseases. Proof of this examination will be a health certificate from the Veterinarian within 10 days prior to being boarded. Chronic conditions under medical control are permitted as long as they are not contagious and the kennel staff can medicate the animal. When inquiring about a reservation and your animal requires medication, you must contact the kennel to discuss whether they can administer the medication or not.

All animals must have current vaccinations, and documented proof is required upon registration. Vaccines are generally good for one year, except when noted otherwise (i.e. good for three years). If the vaccine paperwork does not specify that the vaccine is good for three years, it will be considered good for only one year. Dogs and puppies must have adequate vaccination for Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza (DA2PPL) and Bordetella (kennel cough). Cats and kittens must have adequate vaccination for Feline Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (FVRCP). Cats which are positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) or feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) may stay at the kennel as long as there is enough room for one empty cage in between individual animals. This must be coordinated with the kennel in advance and is at the discretion of the kennel manager.

Pets must be free of fleas and ticks. Pets must be medicated to control external parasites with either, Frontline, Advantix, or Revolution. The product must be applied with 30 days of the expected release from the kennel. (For example, if the pet will be in the kennel from Jul 15 thru Jul 29, they should have had a flea preventative applied between Jun 29 and Jul 14). Pets must also be free from internal parasites. Fecal testing for evidence of internal parasites is required for animals not on a monthly heartworm preventive (such as Heartgard Plus), which controls intestinal parasites. The fecal sample must be tested within 10 days of boarding.

Reservations – In order to reserve a space for your pet, the registration form must be completed and a two day boarding deposit must be submitted to the kennel at least 20 days prior to the boarding date. The deposit will be refunded if the reservation is cancelled within 5 days of boarding. Boarding of animals without reservations will only be accepted on space availability. Peak times are summer, Thanksgiving and Christmas; reservations should be made two to three months in advance for best availability options. Call (808) 368-3456 for more information and reservations.
