Common Questions

How do I make reservations?

Please call us at 503-621-3675. Currently we are not making reservations over the internet. Please note that you will need to make reservations well in advance for major holiday breaks and vacation season. We are very popular and our kennel fills quickly.

What papers should I bring with me?

Dogs must have proof of current vaccination for rabies, DHLPP, and Bordatella (kennel cough). Cats must have proof of of vaccination for feline pneumoniaitis, feline leukemia, and rabies. You can have your vet fax the records to us at 503-621-1346, or you can bring a copy with you at checkin time.

Can I bring my new puppy to the kennel?

Puppies can be boarded after they have received the required series of three vaccinations. Make sure they have been immunized against Bordatella (kennel cough) and check with your veterinarian first.

Can I bring my 16 year old dog to the kennel?

Infirm or aged dogs who cannot walk or stand well should be boarded at a veterinary clinic.

Will my dog be able to play with other dogs?

No. Dogs can be unpredictable so we keep the contact limited to humans. Your dog gets a lot of attention while he is here. They are fed in the morning and in the afternoon, interact with the staff as their runs are cleaned, and they have an opportunity to play and exercise in our 1/4 acre, fenced play area. You can choose to purchase additional daily nature walks for your dog if you choose.

My dog or cat is on medication. Can I bring his meds and is there an additional charge?

If your dog is cooperative, it's not a problem. We will administer oral medications according to your veterinarian's instructions. There is no additional charge in most cases.

What happens if my pet has a medical emergency and I'm away on vacation?

We'll collect emergency contact numbers from you when you check in. We will try to reach you or your contact as well as your veterinarian if an emergency arises. If we are unable to reach you, your contact, or your vet, we will either call our on-call veterinarian or take your pet to Dove Lewis Emergency Care in Northwest Portland. We will do everything we can to ensure you pet's good health and safety. You will be responsible for any medical costs incurred.

Do I need to bring bedding or food for my dog or cat?

We supply bedding, pans, and food. If your dog or cat is on a special diet you are welcome to bring your own brand of dog food, treats, etc. You are also welcome to bring your own bedding. Make sure it's washable and understand that dogs often chew up or soil bedding!
