Q:  Why is Petite Paws Bed & Bark-Inn the best place for my petite canine to stay, other than home?

A: There are a lot of places that now offer "gourmet" boarding but small dog owners know that there is an inherent risk to their toy breed dog whenever they leave their dogs in a facility with large dogs. Accidents do happen and minimizing the size difference between dogs keeps them safer.

 Q: What is so special about Petite Paws Bed & Bark-Inn?

A: When you leave your dogs at Petite Paws Bed & Bark-Inn it is like leaving them at home. They have lots of time to play in a family environment. They have a chance to interact with other small, happy, and healthy dogs. We stimulate their brains and their bodies. There aren't any long days in kennels with short walks when they are here. 

Q: Where and when will my dog get to go outside?

A:  The dogs are taken outside on lead to potty. Each dog is taken out separately at least 6 times daily, more if needed. This gives us time alone with the dogs for playing, walking and cuddles. This also assures that we know what is going on with the dog as concerns any problems associated with loose bowels, etc. Of course during extremely cold or rainy days our trips outside are shorter, but still as frequent.

 Q: What kind of vaccination requirements does Petite Paws have?

A:  Petite Paws requires proof of core vaccinations (Rabies, Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, and Parainfluenza ) yearly. Dogs also need to be vaccinated against Bordatella (kennel cough) every six months. We will also accept a yearly positive titer as proof of vaccination.

 Q: How much does it cost?

A: See here for rates.

 Q: What about doggie daycare?

A: Doggie Daycare is offered 5 days a week Monday through Friday. Day boarding available by special request on Saturday and Sunday. The dogs will be grouped according to size and energy levels. The same vaccination requirements apply for daycare as for boarding - see above.

 Q: Well, what about Hospice Care?

A: Hospice care is designed for the elderly, injured, or post-surgical dog. No dogs with infectious diseases will be accepted. However, dogs requiring medication or supervision after surgery are more than welcome to come spend their days convalescing in our special Hospice room. Qualified staff will provide continual supervision and you can relax knowing that we will be vigilantly attending to your pet.
