There is a $5 DISCOUNT for an additional dog from the same household in the same kennel. We give a 10% Discount to Military / First Responders, Rescue Dogs, and Senior Citizens. Your dog's check in day is counted as the first day regardless of AM or PM check in time. Pets picked up by 9am are not charged for that day. Pets picked up during our afternoon hours will be charged for a 1/2 day. (This charge is not reflected on your reservation receipt as it is computed at check out.) Please note that our office is closed on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Included in the Daily Rate

    Plenty of Exercise

    Each guest gets a minimum of 4 thirty-minute potty break/exercise sessions per day in either our outdoor, indoor, or covered play yards.  Additional walks, private play time, enrichment activities and training sessions are available for an extra charge.

    Kuranda Cots or Decks

    We provide raised Kuranda Cots or Kennel Decks in each clubhouse.  You are welcome to bring your dog's bed or blanket to make them feel more at home, as well as any toys or treats you want them to have during their stay.

    Meals & Meds

    We feed twice a day (breakfast and dinner), to your specifications, and will administer 2 medications/supplements/injections per pet, per day, at no additional charge.  (More than 2 items per day and there is a $5/day TLC charge.) We highly recommend that your bring your dog's regular food so that we do not upset their stomach with a sudden change in diet.  There is an additional charge for our premium House food.  Food bowls and water buckets are provided.

    Monday - Friday

    Need a Special Drop Off or Pick Up Time?

    We are happy to accommodate a special drop off or pick up request if staffing is available for an additional fee of $50, or the equivalent of one night's boarding fee, whichever is greater.  This fee compensates us for the vacant space and a staff member being available to meet you. 

    "Play for the Day"

    We offer Day Boarding WEEKDAYS ONLY, as space permits. Each dog is assigned a Standard Clubhouse and treated much like a regular Overnight Guest, with additional Play Yard time. Spending the day a the Country Club is also a great way for your pet to get to know us, and for us to get to know your pet, prior to a longer stay. Dogs should have eaten breakfast before arrival and will eat dinner when they get home - so no food is necessary.

    We sanitize our kennel daily with WysiWash, 

    an EPA approved sanitizing system that kills viruses and bacteria, deodorizes, and neutralizes mold all in one step.  Thorough cleaning regimes, two Rensair air purification systems,  and an open, well-ventilated space  - all keep the surfaces clean, the air fresh, and minimize our incidence of contagious infections.

    One of our greatest concerns has always been loss of power. Whether it be due to a thunderstorm in July, or ice storm in January, having a kennel full of dogs and 99 degrees with no A/C, or 19 degrees without heat, would be a big problem. In order to insure that never happens, we have installed a 24kw Generac "whole home" generator that will allow us to continue normal kennel operations and keep your dogs safe and comfortable, regardless of what Mother Nature brings!

    Canine Influenza and Canine Cough

    What's the difference?

    Canine Cough (also known as "Kennel Cough") is a term loosely used to describe a complex of infections—both viral and bacterial—that cause inflammation of a dog’s voice box and windpipe. It’s a form of bronchitis and is similar to a chest cold in humans.  


    Canine Influenza is the "dog flu" and vaccination is required.

    Rensair 330

    In an effort to maintain the healthiest environment possible, we have installed two Rensair air purification systems in the kennel.  These hospital-grade units have a unique combination of HEPA filtration and UVC purification that trap and destroy particles, viruses and bacteria.  They will filter, purify and replace the air in the kennel every 34 minutes.

    Working Together

    We are doing all we can to insure the health and wellbeing of our guests.  Please do your part by having your dog vaccinated for Canine Influenza H3N2 as soon as possible.  This is a 2-shot vaccine with a booster shot 3 weeks after the initial inoculation.  Full immunity occurs one week following the booster injection, so this is a month-long process.


    ALL DOGS MUST HAVE HAD THEIR INITIAL CIV INJECTION A MINIMUM OF 5-7 DAYS PRIOR TO BOARDING OR THEY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT CHECK IN. 

    Additional Charges

    TLC Medication Fee - $5/day

    TLC Medication Fee - $5/day

    TLC Medication Fee - $5/day

    We administer 2 medications per day, including injections, at no additional charge.  If your dog requires more than two per day, we charge $5/day to sort, label and administer the medication.  Play video below to learn more about this policy. 

    Private Play Fee - $15/day

    TLC Medication Fee - $5/day

    TLC Medication Fee - $5/day

    Some dogs do not get along well in a group - perhaps they are old and grumpy and not interested in making new friends, extremely timid or afraid, Intact Males who tend to mount other dogs, or Bully Breeds that we require be in solo play.  Some owners prefer that their dog(s) not be in Group Play.  We are happy to provide Private Play/Potty Breaks for your pet, but there is an additional charge of $15/day for the individual turnout time, whether requested by you, or deemed necessary by us in order to maintain a safe environment.

    Vaccinations

    We require DAPP, Canine Influenza, Rabies and Bordetella + Canine Adenovirus  vaccinations for our guests.  We are a minimum vaccine facility, and understand that older pets, and some with certain medical conditions, should not get annual vaccines.  We are happy to accept a Titer Report  from your vet. However, due to the CIV outbreak, ALL guests must have the CIV H3N2 vaccine.

    EMAIL RECORDS TO : cccvetrecords@gmail.com

    We do not have a fax machine.

    Check In Day

    Check Out Day

    Vaccinations

    Your dog's check in day is counted as their first full day, regardless of AM or PM check in time, as the Clubhouse is being held for them all day.  If you bring your dog during our AM hours, they will have a full day of play and time to adjust prior to bedtime.  If you must drop off during our PM hours, please make sure your pet has already eaten dinner, and please arrive by 5:30pm - 30 minutes prior to closing.

    Check Out Day

    Check Out Day

    Aggressive or Territorial Dogs

    Pets picked up by 9am will not be charged for that day.  Pets picked up during our afternoon hours (4-6pm) will be charged for 1/2 day.  The reservation confirmation receipt that you receive does not reflect the final day's charge; it will be computed at check out.   If you need to arrange for a special drop off or pick up time outside our normal hours, we will try to accommodate you, but there is an additional charge.

    Aggressive or Territorial Dogs

    Behavior Issues and Separation/Storm Anxiety

    Aggressive or Territorial Dogs

    We do not allow dogs who display aggression towards people or other dogs, or who might become territorial in a kennel environment.  If you have any concern about your dog's behavior, please discuss it with us before making a reservation.  If your dog becomes aggressive or territorial during their stay, we reserve the right to ask you to remove the dog from our property.

    Behavior Issues and Separation/Storm Anxiety

    Behavior Issues and Separation/Storm Anxiety

    Behavior Issues and Separation/Storm Anxiety

    Behaviors such as digging, climbing, and being a flight risk all pose an additional risk for accidental injury or escape from enclosure. These behaviors are often fueled by separation or storm anxiety.  It is the owner's responsibility to make us aware of any issues prior to boarding so that we can determine what extra precautions need to be taken, and if this environment is the best option for your dog.

    Minimum Age

    Behavior Issues and Separation/Storm Anxiety

    Behavior Issues and Separation/Storm Anxiety

    Puppies who have completed all 3 rounds of their initial vaccination routine, usually around 14-16 weeks of age, are welcome!

    Hours of Operation

    Hours of Operation

    We love to have your dog(s) participate in Group Play with other dogs their same age, size and play level with your consent.  We keep a watchful eye on playtime, but they might get a bump or scrape - or go home a little dirty if they've had a really great time.  Private Play is offered for an additional $15/day.

    Food Storage

    Hours of Operation

    Personal Items

    We recommend that you provide your dog's regular food - either in individual baggies per meal or just enough in a large ziplock bag or two for their stay.  We do not have room in our kitchen for large bags or personal containers of dog food.  (Exception:  large or multiple dogs staying an extended period of time.)

    Personal Items

    TLC Medication Charge

    TLC Medication Charge

    TLC Medication Charge

    Your dog will have a minimum of 4 opportunities per day to use the bathroom in one of our play yards.  Dogs who repeatedly mess up their kennels - above and beyond what we consider normal or expected, whether due to lack of house training, male "marking", incontinence, or any other medical condition - will be charged an additional $10/day to cover the staff’s time to keep their Clubhouse sanitary. ,

    TLC Medication Charge

    Medication Policy

    Does my dog have to be spayed or neutered?

    My unspayed female dog is in heat - can she still come?

    My unspayed female dog is in heat - can she still come?

    We certainly prefer that your pet be spayed or neutered, as that generally means they get along better with other guests.  Intact males are very often placed in Private Play, as they tend to be too aggressive and they may mount  other dogs.  They also "mark their territory" which means you might get charged the above mentioned Excessive Clean Up Fee.

    My unspayed female dog is in heat - can she still come?

    My unspayed female dog is in heat - can she still come?

    My unspayed female dog is in heat - can she still come?

    No.  We cannot board female dogs in heat because it drives the male dogs crazy, and we don't want to be responsible for any "unplanned pregnancies".  Yet another good reason to get your female spayed!

    Are "Bully" Breeds welcome?

    My unspayed female dog is in heat - can she still come?

    Are "Bully" Breeds welcome?

    Any breed of dog is welcome as long as they are not aggressive towards people or other dogs.  However, our insurance provider requires that Bully Breed dogs be neutered & spayed.  Dogs in this breed category are also automatically placed in Private Play unless they have their Canine Good Citizens (CDC) certification.
