Dog Boarding

Boarding Rates

Required

Here at Dr. Boyd’s your dogs’ health, safety, comfort, and happiness is our #1 priority. To ensure that your dog receives the best care we can provide, please take the time to read the following so that together we can make your dogs’ visit a positive experience.

For boarding, and to participate in daycare (which is included with boarding at no additional cost), dogs are required to have current vaccinations for Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella and Canine Influenza; as well as a current fecal test (Ova & Parasite with Giardia ELISA) within the previous 6 months.

We cannot legally dispense medication prescribed by an outside veterinarian, nor do we carry an assortment of prescription diets for sale. We strongly encourage clients to provide us with pre-portioned amounts of food to ensure your dog receives the correct amount for each feeding.

For the safety and comfort of your dog, please refrain from bringing oversized bedding containing fillers such as foam, Styrofoam, batting and other synthetic materials. Please keep in mind the larger the bedding, the less space you are providing your dog in its boarding area. Please feel free to provide blankets or flat fleece mats that will provide comfort, are easy to launder and provide more personal space for your dogs’ sleeping area. We are happy to provide our bedding for your dogs visit free of charge if needed.

Please limit the amount of personal property you provide for your dog. Dog beds and toys need to remain at your home. For the health and safety of your dogs, we provide stainless steel water and food bowls, so it is not necessary to bring your own.

If your dog requires medication or prescription food for its visit:

• Ensure that you have included enough medicine and prescription food for the entire length of your dog's stay

• All medication in the original bottles with clear instructions

• Do not put medication in pre-portioned meals unless it is a powder, such as probiotic or digestive enzyme.

Playtime Cycle

Our play yards provide ample space for dogs to socialize and play for up to 12 hours a day, whether they are here for daycare or boarding. Each yard hosts a play group of socially compatible dogs who have been evaluated on the basis of age, size and temperament.

For dogs that require special attention for any reason, we offer the Playtime Cycle. Dr. Boyd’s provides additional yards for our handlers to customize play. Every dog who is a part of our Playtime Cycle is offered a unique experience that allows for mental stimulation and physical activity, with periodic breaks.

In all of the play yards, our staff provide direct supervision at all times. The social interaction and exercise will find your dog tired and fulfilled at the end of every day!
