Requirements
Male
dogs must be neutered
For
liability reasons we cannot accept Pitbulls, Staffordshire Bull
Terriers, American Bull Dogs or dogs with a history of jumping over
or digging under fences(our outdoor fence is 6ft).
Because the dogs play together here,
all dogs must come in for an orientation day before staying overnight
as a guest. This
allows them to get to know us before being left overnight in our care
and a chance for us to assess their temperament.
We will observe your dog to make sure that he or she is not
aggressive towards our staff or the other dogs and that they allow us
to handle them i.e. touch, pet and grab them by the collar. If your
dog is shy, fearful or has never been boarded before, we suggest a
few daycare visits prior to their longer planned stay. This will
increase their comfort level, help reduce separation anxiety and will
help ensure that your dog’s
stay is a successful one. We have many success stories of shy and/or
fearful dogs that have become confident from socializing at It’s
All About the Dogs. After you have registered with us and we have
verified your dog’s vaccines records will call to schedule an
orientation day. Orientations are scheduled before 10:00 a.m. six
days a week. We do not do orientations for Friday. On your
orientation day you will drop your dog off to play and pick them up
sometime before 6:00 p.m. but we require a minimum of four hours play
time with us.
Adult Dogs
DHLPP-
every year (or every three with veterinarian approval)
Rabies-
every three years
*Bordetella-
every SIX
months
Puppies
DHLPP-
must have complete set of boosters (usually given every three weeks
between 2 and 4 months old)
Rabies-
usually given at 4 months of age and boostered
again in 1yr
*Bordetella-
every SIX
months
Please
note: It takes at least 2-7 days to
generate a solid immune response after receiving the Bordetella
vaccine, so we recommend vaccinating your dog at least a week prior
to visiting It’s All About the Dogs.
*Not
all veterinarians routinely vaccinate every six months for
Bordetella.
Please inform your veterinarian of our requirements so that they can
get your dog on a six month schedule vs. an annual schedule. A six
month regimen is recommended for dogs that are in daycare/boarding
facilities where they are allowed to play together.
