Policy & Service Agreement

1. General Policies

  • All dogs must be in good health. Pets with illness, surgery, or injury within 30 days require written veterinary clearance.
  • Proof of vaccinations required: rabies, parvovirus, distemper, and kennel cough (Bordetella).
  • Vaccination requirements apply to all services due to our open-concept facility.
  • Titre testing is accepted if current within one year and showing acceptable levels.
  • Late pickups: $15 per 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, pets will be boarded overnight at the owner's expense.
  • All pets must be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age for open care services.

2. Boarding & Daycare

  • New clients must complete a trial daycare day and three consecutive daycare days prior to boarding.
  • Returning clients inactive for 6 months require a refresher daycare day. Absences of 2+ years may require 3 days.
  • Drop-off must be before 12:00 PM to allow safe and structured introductions.
  • Pickup is by 12:00 PM on the final day of boarding. Later pickups incur a $33 half-day daycare fee.
  • Please limit personal belongings to one labeled item (bed or blanket).
  • Medication must be provided with pill pockets or treats. If not provided, options will be supplied at an additional cost.
  • Daycare passes expire 6 months from purchase, are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be shared.
  • Peak bookings (December 15 – January 7 and long weekends) require a 50% deposit. Cancellations within 5 days will forfeit the deposit.

3. Grooming

  • Grooming appointments are approximately 4–5 hours. Please wait for a pickup notification.
  • Vaccinations required: rabies, parvovirus, distemper, and kennel cough.
  • Pets not current on vaccinations will be kenneled and receive regular potty breaks.
  • A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for cancellations, or a $50 fee may apply.
  • Appointments are held for 15 minutes only. Late arrivals may incur a fee or require rescheduling.
  • Clients with two or more no-shows within one year may be denied future services.
  • Pre-booking is strongly recommended to ensure availability.

4. Operational & Client Experience Suggestions

  • Add a brief brand statement at the beginning to reinforce your premium positioning and build trust.
  • Include a clearly defined emergency veterinary protocol to further protect your business and reassure clients.
  • Clarify late pickup and overnight boarding charges with maximum caps or examples to prevent disputes.
  • Consider adding a short behavioral policy (e.g., removal from open play if unsafe) to strengthen enforceability.
