The team at Springdale Pet Ranch goes above and beyond to ensure a positive boarding experience for your pet – but there are a few things that you can do at home to maximize the comfort and enjoyment of your dog’s visit.
Before Boarding: Health and Safety Protocols
Ensuring your dog is up to date with vaccinations is crucial. At Springdale, vaccines for Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper are mandatory to protect all boarding guests. Canine influenza and leptospirosis are also strongly recommended. Additionally, making sure your dog is up to date with flea and tick prevention is vital for their health and the safety of other pets.
Comforts of Home: What to Pack
Bring your dog’s regular food and any necessary medications to avoid any dietary upset and ensure their health needs are met. Our policy requests that all items, including food and medication, be clearly labeled with your dog’s name for precise and easy administration. Some guidelines to keep in mind:
- Package all meals individually and label them with your pet’s name.
- Keep things simple. Don’t send new foods or treats for the stay.
- Keep meals to no more than two foods per dog (i.e., kibble and wet) If your dog is normally fed other ingredients, mix them at home and send them prepackaged per meal.
- Blankets aren’t needed, but if you do send one – make sure it’s not a favorite. Blankets can get ruined or lost if they get laundered.
- When sending medications, provide original bottles so our staff knows what the medication is. Do not mix it with food or use pill boxes.
- Be very specific about your pet’s medication instructions.
Preparing Yourself: Owner’s Checklist
It’s always helpful to familiarize yourself with any resort’s boarding policies. At Springdale, we are sure to note required vaccinations and approved items. Be sure to gather all paperwork, including emergency contact information and health records, and submit the necessary documentation beforehand. Knowing you have prepared all the necessities will provide peace of mind while you’re away.
Consider Convenient Add-Ons
Springdale Pet Ranch now offers a variety of engaging add-ons to customize your dog’s stay. Notably, treadmill sessions are available, providing a fantastic way for your dog to stay active and maintain physical fitness even while boarding. Springdale also offers private bike sessions, allowing your pup to engage in controlled, fun exercises that match their energy levels while keeping them mentally engaged. These sessions are designed not just for enjoyment but also to ensure your pet maintains their exercise routine even when you’re away.
You may also want to consider adding a go-home bath to your dog’s stay so they return home clean and fresh.
Our Commitment to Safety and Satisfaction
Open communication will ensure your pet enjoys their stay to the fullest.
- Please let our team know about any and every medical condition we might need to be aware of (even if they seem minor and insignificant).
- Is your dog prone to chewing toys or blankets? Let us know. This could cause choking or other serious medical issues.
- If your dog is anxious or nervous, talk to your veterinarian. Medications like Trazadone may help make the stay more enjoyable.
