Let our professionals take care of your doggies needs while you work.
At some point, you will probably need to leave your dog behind while
you travel. Though it is not easy to leave her, you want to be sure
your dog has a safe, comfortable place to stay while you are gone.
If you are considering boarding your dog, ask your friends and your
vet who they recommend. Then, call several boarding kennels to learn
more. Here are some questions dog owners commonly have about
boarding. Be sure to ask the facility these questions before you
make a boarding reservation for your dog.
It is important to know what your dog’s
temporary living space will be like. Ask for a tour of the facility
to ensure that the environment is neat, organized and odor-free.
Consider the cages or runs. While it might be fine for a
crate-trained dog, boarding in a cage can cause anxiety for a dog
not accustomed to it. Plus, older dogs with arthritis need more room
to move around. If you don’t like the idea of your dog staying in a
small cage the whole time, look for a boarding facility that offers
upscale boarding. These "pet hotels" often have small rooms with dog
beds and toys that mimic the home environment.

The Master Boarding Agreement outlines the terms and conditions
governing your pet's stay at the Holistic Pets. Please read it
carefully and sign where indicated. Include the name of a person (an
Agent who must be 18 years or older) who can act on your behalf in
the event that we are unable to contact you during an emergency. An
Agent may be asked to provide ID if he or she picks up the pet. If
anyone other than you or an Agent comes to pick up the pet, we will
not be able to release your pet without first speaking with you. If
time allows, please return this pet boarding form to us in advance;
otherwise, you may bring it with you to check-in.
If your pet takes any
medications, vitamins, or supplements that will need to be
administered during his or her stay, please complete and present the
Medication form. Call ahead to make sure we accept the medication
being administered. Holistic Pets does not administer injections.
All medication that accompanies the pet must be in its original
container clearly stating the type of medication and the dosage.
Over- the-counter (OTC) medications can only be accepted with a pet
when accompanied by a veterinarian's dosage recommendation. Please
note: There is an additional charge for administering medication.
The Pet
Assessment gives us an opportunity to better understand the needs of
your pet. You can describe the details of your pet’s history,
health, and behaviors and in turn we can customize our care and
attention to your pet while boarding at the Holistic Pets. The
Holistic Pets requires that the Pet Assessment is completed at your
pet’s first check-in and updated annually. You may print the Pet
Assessment now, or fill one out in the Holistic Pets Lobby.
If you need to request your pet’s vaccination information from your
vet, we can help. Download our release form and ask your
veterinarian to complete it. It contains all the information we
require for your pet to stay with us. Then ask your veterinarian to
fax it to the Holistic Pets location where your pet will be staying.
