Medication
- While we do not charge to administer medication, we do require it to be brought in the original prescription bottle – do not bring medication in pill pockets, in other food items, or in plastic baggies. *Please note! We do not accept any medications that require gloves to administer.
Multi-Dog Households
- Dogs of the same family are welcome to stay together in the same cottage, or they may stay separately at your request. There is no difference in cost.
Overnight Items
- While we do provide our signature canine cots, it is often helpful for some dogs to have items in their kennel that remind them of home.
- Please feel free to pack your dog’s bed, a blanket, and/or favorite toy. We want your pup to have what he or she needs to be as comfortable as possible when in the kennel at nighttime.
- Please make sure to label all of your dog’s items with his first and last name.
Mealtime
- Our meals take place at 6am for breakfast, 11am-12pm for lunch, & 7pm for dinner. We do not provide meals outside of these times.
- There is a $5 service fee for lunch only for dogs 1+ years. Exceptions can be made for dogs that have health issues or difficulty keeping on weight. There is no service fee for lunch for puppies under 1 year.
- If you are concerned about your dog losing weight due to the extra calories burned during daily daycare, please adjust feeding instructions accordingly.
- We provide all meals with high quality stainless steel bowls that are cleaned after each use.
- Unless your dog uses a ‘special bowl’ like a slow feeder for example, kindly leave all dog bowls, measuring cups and can lids at home. Make sure to label the special bowl with first and last name if possible.
- Some dogs have sensitive tummies and owners may find it best to keep them on their own food during their stay.
- Please feel free to bring in your dog’s regular food in pre-portioned amounts for each meal you would like him or her to have.
- You may also bring in a large container of food, and indicate on drop-off how much you would like us to feed at each meal.
- We provide house food - 'Sweet Potato & Salmon' dry kibble by Nature’s Domain - for dogs that do well on various brands of food. No dog will go hungry!
Pack Introductions and Evaluations
At Healthy Hound, your dog’s playgroup introduction/evaluation will be on their first day of daycare, and there is no extra charge for this service. A trained staff member will gradually integrate your dog with the appropriate pack. There is not a standard duration for an introduction – some dogs take only a few minutes, while others can take longer. After the introduction has occurred, and your pup has been given some time to adjust, you will receive a call from the supervisor to advise you on how things went. To ensure the playroom stays as calm as possible, we do not allow parents to view the integration process.
