Check-Out Suggestions and Guidelines

It is not common for any of our guests to have any problems when they return home, however please read some suggestions and guidelines:

Food & Water
We recommend allowing one hour after returning home to offer your dog food and water. This may prevent vomiting that may occur from excitement of playing during the day, only give small amounts at a time. If your dogs bowel movements are loose, boil some chicken and rice as it may help.

Sleep
After playing during the day, your pet will sleep a lot which is normal.

Paw pads
New dogs that play may have more sensitive paw pads until they get tougher.

Coughing
Dry hack coughing from your dog within 2-3 days of returning home may mean that he has canine cough, a contagious condition to dogs, but not people which is similar to the common cold. Preppy Pet require all pets to be vaccinated, however it is not 100%, therefore a pet can still get any virus. Preppy Pet will not be held responsible for any illnesses.

If your pet does not improve, seek a veterinarian at once

This is the first time boarding my preppy pet, what should I bring, any deposits required, how do I reserve, and what vaccinations required?

You may call your nearest Preppy Pet or reserve online. No deposits required and you will pay in full when you check-out. For extended stays of 2 weeks or more, you will be required to pay a deposit or have a credit card on file. 3 night minimum stay required for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. We also recommend keeping your pets on the same diets, so you may bring your food and treats, however we do provide premium foods at a small charge.

What type of security does Preppy Pet provide and how about if there is an emergency with my pet?

We provide security monitoring. We also have local veterinarians on call, as well as emergency after hours medical centers. We will contact you or your emergency contact number immediately. Most Preppy Pet do not staff 24 hours. In our years of experience with thousands of boarding nights, we find that our pets sleep better throughout the night without being disturbed . Most dogs play hard daily and sleep very well at night. If a staff member enters the suite areas and causes one dog to bark, it leads to the rest barking and disturbs sleep time.

What type dog breeds, sizes or pets that are not accepted?

We welcome all size dogs! We accept non-aggressive, healthy pets at the age of 16 weeks or older for all pet services. We do not accept any aggressive pets that may injure themselves, our guests or staff. If you let us know about what temperament your pet may have, we will advise.
