FAQs

What happens if my dog gets sick while in your care?

Your dog will be kept in our ventilated isolation room and we will contact you immediately to pick up your dog. If it is an emergency, a phone call will be made to you before transporting your dog to our supervising veterinarian at The Country Animal Clinic.

How are "meet & sniffs" conducted?

We let your dog sniff around the facility for a few minutes to let them get familiar with the space before introducing them to one of our calmest dogs from behind a gated area. If your dog shows no sign of aggression or anxiety and all is well, we will then begin to introduce the others one by one.


Is it common for dogs to return home extremely thirsty after daycare?

Yes, it's very common for dogs to appear extremely thirsty after returning home from dog daycare.

This is often due to a combination of factors, including increased activity, excitement, and potentially a difference in water availability or taste at the daycare facility compared to home.


What should I expect after picking up the dog from dog boarding?

After picking up your dog from boarding, expect some temporary changes in behavior as they adjust back to their home routine. This might include

increased sleep, changes in appetite, and potentially clingy or distant behavior, it's possible your dog's stool may be softer or loose due to the stress of boarding

Most of these changes are normal and should resolve within a few days.
