1. What Vaccinations do you require for my dog to board, attend a training class or daycare?

All pets entering our facility must be current on Rabies. All owners are required to provide proof of this vacination, which is required by law. Due to the growing number of dogs & cats that suffer adverse reactions to the Bordetella vaccine, here at AK9C, we do not "require" this vaccine, but it is HIGHLY recommended. If you plan on bringing your pet to any location that will have a large number of other pets, ie: a petstore, dogpark, dog show, grooming salon or boarding facility, then your pet's likelihood of being exposed to pathogens increases. For more information about the Kennel Cough vaccine (Bordetella) click here. Both Feline & Canine Distemper are required here at AK9C. For Dogs, Parvo must be included in this vaccine as well. To be on the safe side, bring a copy of all your pets' vaccinations when you drop off for boarding, training or doggie daycare.

2. How old does my dog have to be to do doggie daycare?
All dogs entering doggie daycare must be at least 4 months of age. But dogs of ANY age can board at our facility.

5. Do you feed Daycare dogs?
No, the daycare dogs are not fed during the course of a the day. More often than not the dogs are too excited to eat, or if they do eat then will often get an upset tummy since they gobble their food & then go back to playing. So to prevent any unintentional upset tummies we do not feed Daycare dogs.

6. Can I bring my pet's own food for boarding?
Of course, as long as it is in re-sealable containers each smaller than 5lbs...
The only thing we do not accept is bowls or glass of anykind.
