Questions
Why do you require vaccination records?
Strict vaccination policies protect all pets through Pennsylvania's rabies requirements and Bordetella prevention. Proof must be provided before check-in to maintain herd health.
Why remove pet collars during boarding?
Collar removal prevents entanglement risks in chain-link enclosures. ID cards with detailed descriptions securely identify pets throughout their stay in our controlled environment.
Can dogs socialize with others?
We maintain individual runs to prevent disease transmission and behavioral conflicts. Staff-led play sessions offer controlled social interaction while preserving pet safety and health protocols.
Do you accept raw diets?
Raw diets are prohibited due to salmonella risks. We accommodate standard commercial and cooked diets with proper storage while maintaining strict food safety standards.
Why do pets drink more water after returning home?
Increased water consumption post-stay relates to re-establishing territory rather than dehydration. Our 24/7 fresh water access ensures hydration, with behavior typically normalizing within 48 hours.
How do you handle anxious pets?
Most pets adjust within 24 hours through environmental familiarization. Owners' anxiety often affects pets more than the facility itself. Staff monitors behavior closely while maintaining comforting routines to ease transitions.
