Thank you for choosing Bed
& Bone! Leaving your dog while traveling can be difficult, so it’s important to know we are
trained dog lovers and caretakers who ensure a positive experience.
Before reserving a spot (new clients only)
For clients and their
dogs that have yet to board at Bed & Bone, we require you both come for a pre-boarding visit. All visits are done by
APPOINTMENT ONLY, please call to schedule a tour. Please no walk-ins.
Our visiting hours are as
follows:
Making a reservation
Reservations can be made
online (24 hours per day), by telephone (between 7am-7pm), or in person.
Please note: available spots during
holidays fill quickly, so make your reservations early. We require a deposit to hold your holiday reservation.
Prior to coming
After you’ve reserved
a spot, it may help to “ready your dog” by discussing the stay.
Arrival and departure
Whether you bring your dog
to Bed & Bone or use our taxi service, we have compiled hints and need items to make the process work smoothly.
- Plan plenty of time for drop off, or arrange a pick up that allows
for a non-rushed event.
- When using the taxi, tell us if your dog is prone to car sickness.
Fasten their collar before entering, so it fits loosely but properly.
- Double check that all needed items are included, ready and labeled.
- Leash your dog during drop off.
- Remind staff of your dog’s medical or behavioral issues, or
changes in feeding.
- Although it’s hard to part with your dog, a quick goodbye and
pat on the head works much better than a long, emotional sendoff.
Required items
Bed & Bone needs the following
items sent with your dog:
- Food-labeled
- Proof of immunizations; vaccinations (rabies and distemper combo),
Kennel Cough, and Lyme (recommended), and Flea & Tick during warmer months (over-the-counter and/or flea collars are not
accepted).
- Necessary medications with written administering instructions.
- Information Sheet (new clients) and Boarding Contract (new clients).
Optional items
- Favorite toy and blanket-labeled
- Treats
In addition: Before boarding your dog for an extended period, some find it helpful to plan a shorter stay.
This helps accustom a dog to the boarding experience, and brings to light any concerns.
