 Policies
Reservations should be made in advance whenever possible. Pets may be checked in or checked out at any time during Lodge hours. All pets arriving or departing from the Lodge must be on a leash or in a carrier. Please allow a few extra minutes for checking in so that we may review your pet's vaccination records and collect your contact information. We appreciate having as much information as possible about your pet along with any present or past medical conditions. Please provide us with current documentation of the following vaccinations:
Dogs: DHLPP-C, Bordetella, Rabies
Cats: FVRC-P, Rabies
Upon your pet's arrival to the Lodge, your pet will be given access to the bathroom facilities. For your dog's safety, please bring your dog with a properly fitted nylon or leather collar with identification. Please help us keep your pet happier by making sure the ears are free of infection and debris and that the coat is brushed and mats removed prior to boarding. We recommend that dogs be on a preventative for fleas, ticks and intestinal parasites and that cats be on a preventative for fleas.
A full day's board is charged for the date of arrival and each date the pet is boarded past noon. For example, if a pet is dropped off on Thursday afternoon and picked up on Sunday afternoon, the stay is considered a four day stay. The stay is also considered a four day stay for a pet that is dropped off on Thursday morning and picked up on Monday morning. We appreciate your understanding of our hours, policies and lodging rates.
If there is a change in your pet's arrival or departure time, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible. If you plan to pick up your pet outside of your scheduled departure time, please call ahead so that we can have your pet and belongings ready. Payment is due in full at the time of departure and we accept cash, checks, debit cards, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. A $25 fee will be charged for all returned checks.
In the unlikely event that your pet should require veterinary care, reasonable efforts will be made to contact you and your veterinarian first. Depending on the nature of the illness and the travel required to access your veterinarian, we reserve the right to use our on-call veterinarian. Any transporting fees or veterinary bills shall be paid by the owner.

Food/Medications/Bedding
Owners are asked to provide their pet's regular food and snacks from home to avoid any sudden dietary changes that could lead to digestive upset or pets refusing to eat. We also recommend that owners bring longer lasting edible types of chewy toys that you normally give at home because most pets enjoy chewing on something during their spare time and we enjoy seeing them entertained and happy. Comfortable bedding is provided to all of our guests or you may bring bedding from home.
