Question 3

Boarding is available 7 days a week.

Question 4

What is required for boarding and/or daycare?

Accepted Answer

It is important to know that your pet is usually required to pass a socialization interview, be spayed or neutered, and be current on vaccinations. Most facilities also require animals be at least 4 months old and be in good health and flea and tick free. Proof of vaccines must be submitted before your pet's arrival. Your veterinarian can email the info, or you may send us copies. Proof of ownership is required.

Question 5

What are the policies for pick up and drop off?

Accepted Answer

Please text or call 15 minutes before arrival 707 467-7205 and Kathie or her representative will meet you to receive your pet or return your pet to you. The reason for this policy is that it is much less disruptive to the animals that are already at the location.

No Monday pickups after 12:00 noon. No exceptions.

Drop off and pick up times are 10-12am and 4-6 pm Sundays are class days so pick up & drop off times may vary. 24-hour notice needed for additional boarding days. Availability not guaranteed and will be charged at a higher rate. Emergency situations do have exceptions - please call if you have an emergency.

Question 6

What is the daily routine at Red Barn Boarding?

Accepted Answer

During the day the dogs will have free play time all day long with the other dogs. When it is not too hot, pack walks will be available. They will have 2 nap times, and will be fed at 2 specific times.

If there are special needs dogs, I have a separate area where they can play on their own. There is a pool in both areas and a splash pad for them to play in, weather permitting.

The facility will have training, agility and scent classes available soon. Private lessons can be set up with the outside trainers.

Question 7

What are the requirements and information for visits?

Accepted Answer

1. Bring proof of ownership and current vaccination record, including kennel cough, rabies, DHLP. Also new requirements for a negative fecal test for giardia & hookworm, prior to boarding long term.
2. Include instructions for medication and feeding, and label food and medications with your dog’s name.
3. Dogs must arrive with a standard (webbed nylon or leather) daily collar. Link types of collars and “gentle leader” collars are for training/walking purposes only.
4. Dogs must have on-going treatment using Bravecto, Frontline or other for fleas and ticks. Do not bring dog bedding, or dog toys! Toys can cause aggression with other dogs. If your dog does have a favorite toy we can separate them out during play time but they will not have it unless they are crated at night.
5. Dogs must be spayed or neutered.
6. If your dog excessively barks, we may find it necessary to put a bark collar on your pet.
7. Some dogs, like children at day care centers, are very sensitive. If your dog is very sensitive to new environments, you may find he/she has an upset stomach for a day or two.
8. Dogs being boarded need to be crate trained. At this time there are no Kennels so this is our only option.
☆Please note that overnights and naps are the only time they will be crated unless there is an emergency.
