Guest Requirements

Every dog and cat MUST be properly immunized before lodging. We require written verification of thier current RABIES - DISTEMPER / PARVO and BORDATELLA (Kennel Cough) vaccinations for canines and FVRCP and Rabies for felines. Owner administered vaccines cannot be accepted. It is the OWNER'S responsibility to provide us with this information.

Any guests with fleas / ticks will be bathed or dipped (at owner's expense) before entering the resort.

Emergency Policies

The most common question posed by pet owners is "what happens in an emergency?" There are two types of emergencies: the ailing pet and the natural disaster.

If your pet should become ill or hurt while staying at our pet resort, our proceedure is as follows:

1. We assess the situation and its gravity.
2. We immediately call the owner, or the owner's emergency contact, and apprise them of the situation.
3. We contact our vet and take the animal in for an evaluation. Our vet will then contact the veterinarian of record to consult and take whatever necessary action.
4. We keep the owner informed on the animal's condition and any medications that may be prescribed.
5. We comply with the owner's wishes at all times.

During a natural disaster such as a tornado, hurricane, etc., we must abide by the wishes of the county. If there is a mandatory evacuation, we will ask all owners or their emergency contacts to pick up their pets. Otherwise our Pet Resort will remain open to all who need a place for their pets to stay.

We have a secure facility and will house as many animals as we safely can during an emergency.
