Drop In Sessions

Hi Everyone, Just a quick update. Monique has broken her ankle, so there wont be any drop in sessions (or 4 & 5 Sessions) until its not so slippery at BX. Sounds like it is going to warm up quickly, so check back often! Im hoping to have at least one by the end of the week.

SICK AND HURT DOGS

Please note:   If your dog is SICK or HURT~ Do NOT bring them to daycare or boarding unless it is discussed BEFORE HAND! This is a huge liability for us, and for you as a dog owner.

If you do show up with a sick or hurt dog, you will be charged a much higher rate, or will be turned away. We also reserve the right to send your dog to a different kennel, if information is not disclosed~ and we find out after the fact.
