| |
|
If you cannot provide
evidence of the treatment we will administer one for a nominal
charge of $10 per dog. |
You can bring a copy of your
pet's health record with your at check-in or fax/mail it beforehand or
have your veterinarian fax it to us.
A first time registration form detailing important information about your
dog(s) is also required along with our Authorization
and Release form.
You can fill these forms our at time of check-in but we strongly recommend
you get them to us prior to your reservation. For your convenience you can
do them on-line or fax/mail them.
Holiday Hound House DOES NOT provide food for our boarders. We believe in
keeping animals on their own diets to avoid any "upset tummies". So please
bring enough food (and a little extra) packaged and labeled with their
names on it for the length of the visit. You can also bring your own
treats but we do provide, at no additional cost, two all natural treats
per day. Bedding and toys can also be brought. However, we are not
responsible for loss or damage to them. We try to ensure that you go home
with everything you came with, but things occasionally get misplaced,
broken or even chewed up.
If you choose to have your buddy join group play we will evaluate their
personality for sociability and place them with appropriate dogs. The sizes of the groups
remain small so we can easily monitor behavior. But any time dogs play
together there is the possibility of injury from rough play or combative
behavior. We take every precaution to prevent injury, but scratches, bites
and other trauma may occur, as may the transmission of parasites such as
worms. Similar risks occur any time that your dog is around other animals.
It is advisable to ensure that your dog is on a deworming protocol with
your veterinarian. Just like human children in daycare, risks of upper
respiratory infections can occur while at dog parks, on the sidewalk or at
Holiday Hound House.
If your pet requires special or out-of-the-ordinary care due to health,
age or personality issues, please advise us prior to booking your
reservation. We will make every effort to accommodate your request or
need. However, Holiday Hound House has the right to refuse boarding to any
person/pet based on our discretion if we feel boarding will be detrimental
to the animal, other boarders or our staff. In some cases, clearance from
your vet may be required. Under most circumstances our small size and
extra attention allows for us to go above and beyond the norm especially
for older, shy or health challenged pets. But on occasion we may recommend
our pet sitting service as an alternative.
