Boarding services

• Our facility is situated in a serene, country setting. 
• We give importance to providing a pleasant, clean, healthy environment for your family and fur babies.
• Dog Boarding services run 7 days a week by appointment only. In the event of an unexpected trip or emergency, please call us to let us know. 
• The kennel room is fully heated and equipped with an A/C with a central unit.
• We provide a large green outdoor area to exercise and play!
• We are a fully insured kennel & facility.
• Pets are fully monitored during their stay, and we keep a close eye on daily eating habits, potty habits, and general activity. Morning, noon, evening, and night.
• At GTTK dog boarding, we offer separate housing for dogs of all sizes, including small, medium, and large.
• Your pet will stay in his/her own private space for meals and sleeping. Fresh water is provided throughout the day. Kennel sizes are 4'Wx6'Hx8'L and 5'Wx6'Hx5'L.
• We provide a raised kennel bed (or "ramp") so that your pet can lay up off the floor while in the kennel. The Ramp is a high-density, molded plastic deck or aluminum that provides a comfortable, sanitary surface for dogs. Each platform is cleaned and sanitized daily. 
• We understand it is sometimes a comforting feeling for your dog to have a personal item from home while boarding. Please note that we will provide our own raised beds, bowls, slow feeders, and blankets to pets when boarding with us. Therefore, we ask that clients leave their personal bedding and bowls at home.  Please keep in mind that a dog may react differently while being boarded and may chew items that it would not normally chew at its own house. Because of this, we reserve the right to remove or to not use any items we feel may become a hazard to your pet while boarding.
• Dogs are taken out individually 4 times​ a day during their stay with us for exercise, fresh air, and potty breaks (for at least 10 minutes each time). For safety reasons, males and females are not permitted to play together unless they are from the same family and are routinely housed together. Males will be paired with males, and females will be paired with females.
• We believe dogs do much better boarding when they are fed their diet from home. Due to this, we kindly request that pet parents bring their food and treats when boarding their pet(s). If your dog has a specific diet and feeding schedule, please let us know.
•  We strive to meet any requests our clients may have. Just like people, some pets might have special needs. ​We do have a refrigerator, so if you need to bring perishable items like cheese or meatballs, you are more than welcome to do so.
• If your pet is on medication, please bring their medication in a pill container or baggie with their name on the outside, along with written instructions: name of medication, strength, dosage per day, etc. Please let us know at drop-off what doses have already been given that day and the reason for the medication. We DO NOT provide or give insulin Injections.​
• Kennels are cleaned and disinfected daily. GTTK utilizes specialized cleaners and disinfectants designed explicitly for kennels and approved by veterinarians. We vacuum and mop each kennel daily and perform a thorough "deep clean" on our kennels every time a pet is checked out, ensuring your pet’s kennel is always clean and safe. 
• We provide hygienic, stainless steel food and water pales. At this time, we kindly request that you refrain from bringing your own bowls or dishes, as we will provide ours. Additionally, please note that we do not permit the introduction of any glass, ceramic, or breakable items with your pet.

The Boarding area is climate-controlled- warm in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer.​

Boarding Requirements 

We require proof of immunization for your pets. While we keep this information on file and will let you know when we need updated records, it is your responsibility to provide us with proof of subsequent vaccinations.

 

Pet vaccinations are an essential part of a preventative health plan for your pet. Thanks to pet vaccines, your dog can live a healthier and longer life. Vaccines help build a pet's immune system and protect it from a wide range of diseases. Although they can make it less likely that your pet will contract a particular disease, they do not guarantee that your pet will not get sick: Just like a human getting a flu vaccine can still get the flu, vaccinated pets can still fall ill or contract the disease they received the vaccine for. However, while vaccines do not necessarily prevent disease, they will likely minimize the seriousness of the illness if your pet does get sick. 

 

Health-Vaccinations:

​

All dogs/cats must be in good health and free of any communicable disease. 

All pets must be up to date on vaccinations before their appointment:

​

Requirements for Dogs:​

• ​Rabies. 
• Distemper/Parvo. 
• Bordetella - Kennel Cough. 
• Canine Influenza (not necessary, but highly recommended. Please ask your vet for their recommendation)

​​

Puppy Vaccine Requirements: Puppies that have not completed their puppy vaccine series must have a current Bordetella vaccine, Canine Influenza vaccine (two-part series, completed) (recommended, not required at this time), and at least the first two sets of Distemper/Parvo vaccines current according to their vet paperwork. Age 4 months old.

​

Others requirements:

• Flea and Tick Prevention: To remain a flea-free environment, a preventive treatment up to date is required for all pets. If your pet is not on a preventive at the time of boarding, we can provide Bervecto at the owner's expense.
• ​​We must be able to handle every pet to provide the level of care safely that we believe is necessary for the best boarding experience. To ensure your dog's acceptance for boarding, we require that we can safely put a leash on and take it off. We reserve the right to refuse our services to any dog that we cannot handle safely or that we deem to be aggressive.
