FAQs and Policies
Please review our frequently asked questions and don’t hesitate to reach out withany additional questions or concerns.
Yes! Please call or email to schedule your private tour. We cannot guaranty unannounced tour requests due to Campsite busyness. Please do not bring your dog with you for the tour. Please schedule a free, comprehensive pet evaluation day for them at which time you are welcome to tour the facility.
Yes. We require first-time Campers to complete a free Comprehensive Evaluation before any day care or boarding reservations can be accepted. Comprehensive (4=hour) Boarding Evaluations are scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesdays between 8am-12pm. Spaces are limited. Comprehensive (Full Day) Day Care Evaluations are scheduled on Monday and Friday. Spaces are limited.
For dogs, we require full completion of Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP vaccines. We recommend the Canine Influenza Vaccine (CIV) and consider the Rattlesnake vaccine (just as an added precaution since we are located on 16 wooded acres).
For cats, we require FVRCP and Rabies.
Pups must be at least 16 weeks old and have fully completed the required vaccinations.
No. All pets over 18 months must be spayed or neutered unless medically exempt supported by veterinarian’s letter. Breeder contracts or show dogs are not exempt.
Absolutely! We send personalized report cards with updates and photos, but you may also text during regular business hours for additional information or updates.
Just like a hotel reservation and to ensure your pet’s room is fully sanitized and ready for their arrival, please drop them off in the afternoon. Also, like a hotel reservation, please plan to pick up your boarding Camper in the morning, before noon, adhering to specified hours.
After-hours pick-ups (after 6:30 pm on Monday-Friday, after 12 pm on Saturday, or after 6 pm on Sunday) will automatically incur a $45 late fee. No exceptions. There are absolutely no pick-ups allowed after 7 pm on Monday-Friday or after 6:30 on Sunday at which time the facility access gates are locked.
We encourage you to bring your own food to maintain consistency in your pet’s diet. Please pre-portion dry kibble into individual food bags, labeled with your pup’s name. Canned food can remain as is. We have refrigerators and freezers for any pre-packaged meals, toppers, or treats needing refrigeration. Label everything with your pet’s name. If you forget food or if your pet runs out during their boarding stay, we will serve our premium in-house food, Fromm’s Gold, according to your instructions. Cost: $5/day.
As part of luxury boarding perks, we provide Kuranda elevated beds. However, you can bring your own bedding if you prefer. We launder all bedding as needed so we cannot accept oversized or overly complicated-to-reassemble bedding.
Toys from home can be a familiar comfort. Please note that we do not allow rawhides or rope toys as they can be a choking hazard. If you choose to bring anything from home, please label it and understand that we cannot promise that your items will be returned in the condition it arrived. We always try our best!
Yes. Our staff can administer pet medications and can safely store any meds needing refrigeration. Medications, vitamins, supplements, etc. need to remain in the original containers or packages with name, dosage, dosing instructions, and condition being treated. You may pre-sort in medication boxes.
Each dog must complete a comprehensive evaluation prior to boarding or attending day care. This process allows us to recommend the safest, most rewarding experience for each dog.
We utilize constant play rotations in consideration of a variety of factors to include energy level, weather, etc.
High energy dogs need extra play time while geriatric Campers often prefer just a potty break followed by a stroll back to their kennel to be a spectator or receive snuggles.
In cooler weather, rotations have longer durations. Whenever it’s too hot or cold, rotations are shorter and more frequent.
We love to play in light rain! However, if there is thunder or lightning, dogs are moved to their individual, indoor/outdoor, climate-controlled kennels where they can rest to calming music or enjoy fun add-on options.

We also have an Anxious Dog package which includes high quality CBD chews or drops, perfect for dogs who have a fear of storms.

Like humans, each dog has their own personality and comes from a unique background. For this reason, we have designed several programs to cater to the needs of most dogs. We provide smaller playgroups and one-on-one attention with a member of our pet care team. We also offer multiple boarding packages that include fun activities and relaxing amenities.
We offer an Anxious Dog boarding package with high quality CBD oil (drops or chews) + extra TLC time with Canine Caregivers and a yummy lick mat. We always keep a close eye on all anxious Campers.

We love and understand our seasoned Campers! We provide shorter play times as well as comfortable Kuranda bedding and special rubber flooring mats to assist them with mobility. We also have a Senior Camper boarding package to make their stay extra special.

The safety and well-being of our staff as well as our Campers is paramount. So, while we accept dogs that are dog-reactive or dog-aggressive, we cannot accept dogs that exhibit any signs of human-aggression. All Campers must be people friendly. And while we accept reactive dogs, their pet evaluation may determine that they don’t qualify for group play. Our goal for every dog is to provide an enjoyable and rewarding Dog Camp experience. If your pet is accepted and then exhibits any signs of aggression to people, you will be notified, and the pet must be picked up. Any injury or damage to people or property will be the owner’s responsibility.
If we notice your dog displaying any symptoms or abnormal behavior, exhibiting any signs of pain or distress, we will make him/her comfortable in quiet, private accommodations and call you immediately. If we are unable to reach you or feel any situation is urgent, we will take them to Wildflower Animal Hospital, 1 1⁄2 miles away. All veterinary visits are paid for by Dog Camp and billed to you at the end of your pet’s stay.
Please remember that dogs, not facilities, spread germs. As with humans, the more dogs are around others and exposed to new environments, the higher the likelihood of them establishing robust immune systems that will improve resiliency.
