It is our desire to create the safest environment we possibly can for each of our visitors. We have put many measures in place to accomplish this. We use animal friendly cleaning , we have walls in between each run to prevent cross contamination, and of course we make sure our visitors are vaccinated for their protection.

Our animals have close contact with one another on a daily basis. The only way we can protect against any possible risk of illness is to make sure all of our animals are vaccinated properly. These shots are non-negotiable.

We do not board dogs or cats within two weeks of adoption from a rescue facility. This is to ensure they are disease free before they enter our facility.

Dogs

Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella are the vaccinations we require for Dogs. Rabies and DHPP must be given by your veterinarian at least 4 Days before visiting CCCR, and Bordetella must be updated 7 days before your visit. Additionally, we ask that all dogs are free of coughing, sneezing, vomiting, and diarrhea  before entering our facility.

• Rabies
• DHPP
• Bordetella (Every 6 months)

Cats

Rabies, FVRCP, Feline Leukemia are the vaccinations we require for Cats. A negative test for Feline Leukemia, within two weeks of boarding, maybe be in lieu of a vaccine.  Feline vaccines have variable time requirements based on lifestyle, age, and vaccine history. 

• Rabies
• FVRCP
• Feline Leukemia

The Bordetella vaccine helps control and prevent the spread of germs that cause canine cough. If a dog that has been vaccinated with the Bordetella vaccine acquires canine cough, they will have a less severe form that resolves faster than a dog who is not vaccinated. The germs that cause canine cough are very similar to the common cold in humans with mild coughing and sometimes a runny nose. Symptoms usually resolve within a week.

There are many things than can cause the symptoms of canine cough (can be referred to as kennel cough), not just the Bordetella bacteria. Currently, most ‘canine cough’ vaccines will protect dogs from a few virus strains in addition to the bacteria called Bordetella. In healthy adult dogs, canine cough typically causes no more than a mild illness. In puppies or dogs with underlying health issues, it can cause severe illness or very rarely, death. Kennel cough is highly contagious, easily transmitted through the air or direct contact. This vaccine may lose efficacy over time and is therefore recommended to be given every 6 months for dogs who attend social settings.

Safety is the most important thing to us. Not only for our visitors but for our staff as well. In-tact dogs assert dominance, which causes stress and aggression in the play yard.

Great question! We have a schedule that we stick to on a daily basis. That is one reason why we enforce our hours. We let dogs out at 7am, then we feed breakfast.  After feeding, we begin playtimes.  The playtimes are every 3 hours, with a total of 3 playtimes.  We then let them settle for a short time, feed dinner, and give them a nap time before their final let out for the night.  Every dog receives a bed time treat. The play groups are able to wrestle and play inside, in between outdoor playtimes.

We prepare meals exactly like you do at home. We will ask you instructions when you drop off. If you are a frequent flyer with us, we will still ask you questions in case your fur baby’s instructions have changed.

We will give medication and supplements as instructed. We do require regular medication and supplements to be in their original bottle.

Yes, make sure you have a leash and restraint that is properly fitted for your animal.

No, they are not in crates.  They are in spacious cages, without tops, to keep all the animals safe when there is no supervision.

We will immediately seek medical attention for your pet.  However, agreeing to playtimes with your dog means a risk of altercations with other dogs.  CCCR is not financially liable for medical bills.

Please notify us if your dog has anxiety or is a chewer.  All damages to beds, walls, crates, etc. are the responsiblity of the dog owner.
