Do we board all breeds of dogs?
Yes, we board all breeds. Our facility can handle the tiny to the very large!

What vaccinations are required to board my dog?
Guests must be current DHLPP, Rabies and Bordetella (kennel cough). No exceptions. Vaccinations SHOULD BE given at least ten days prior to your pet’s stay.   Having your pet’s shots up to date is an important step in protecting his health and the health of our other boarders. No dog will be permitted to board unless his/her vaccinations are up to date. Proof of vaccination must be provided upon check-in (a receipt or shot record directly from your vet, unfortunately we cannot accept a health record with checked boxes.  We must have a more certain form of proof.  For your convenience, we will accept a copy faxed to us directly from your vet.  Sorry, no emails.) 

Can I bring toys and bedding for my pet?
We want to your pet to be comfortable while boarding. You're welcome to bring toys and bedding with you.

     A few suggestions though:

If you have an expensive dog bed, leave it at home. Dogs behave differently when they are boarding and sometimes destroy their bedding. If we find your dog has destroyed or significantly damaged his bedding, we'll take it away from him (ingested cloth can be a serious medical problem).  Make sure the bedding you bring is washable. We want to keep your dog's area clean.
Small kitchen rugs make excellent bedding. The braided kind you put in front of the sink. You may notice that your dog sleeps on it a good bit of the time at home! They wash easily and provide a good cover for the bed we provide. An old beach towel is also good choice. They're big and comfortable, and if they were bought on that vacation years ago it won't be a great loss if your dog chews them up. We can also wash them if need be. You may want to let your dog sleep on them at home a day or two before boarding so that both the scent of the dog as well as your home is on the towel.

Can my dog be groomed while staying at Bows and Bandanas Pet Resort?
Yes, however we recommend making an appointment when making your reservation.  During peak times of the year, our Salon is not always able to provide grooming on short notice.

A simple exit bath that makes your dog smell great can be arranged for fee based on breed/size.

A complementary bath will be given to pets staying longer than 30 days.

Flea and Tick Control                                                                                                                                                                                                       Insect control is very important in reducing the spread of insects, disease and other health issues. We recommend that you consistently treat your pet for fleas and ticks. If fleas or ticks are found on your pet while boarding, we will initiate treatment. A charge for this service will be applied to your boarding account. We also suggest heartworm preventative.

Shared Suites                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Two or more pets may share a suite provided they do not fight, and do not develop abnormal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, etc). Pets will be separated at our discretion; single-suit prices then apply

Aggressive fees and Surcharges

If your pet is difficult to handle, there may be a surcharge added to your bill.  This fee shall be no more than the rate posted on the chart in our lobby.
