What to bring:

• Your dog should be on leash (in your possession) from the car into the facility. We will have a designated cubby for you so nothing will get lost or mixed up!
• You do not need to bring a bed, or blanket, we have plenty of snuggly blankets, cots and beds available for nap
• You do not need to bring lunch or snacks…we are so busy having fun, our furry friends typically do not want the distraction of being separated for a munchie! We will be sure to make any exceptions necessary if your kid has special dietary needs/requirements or medication that needs to be administered

 

What to expect on your first day

You will be greeted by a staff member who will ask you to sign in at the check in desk; and you are encouraged to let us know if you would like any other additional services. Once you have checked in, we will begin the introduction process where your fur baby will meet all of his/her new friends. Because we take special care to be sure the introduction is positive and safe, it is important that your first visit begins between 9-11 am; or by appointment only.

It is very likely that you will be greeted with some happy and excited sounds as you enter the facility!!! Our friends are always very happy to be with us and each other, and a new friend is definitely something to cheer about!!!

We know that your fur kid is a beloved member of your family! Our “kids” first day at school is a big one, no matter if they are 2 legged kids or 4 legged kids and because we understand this, we want you to be able to see what we see!

We encourage you to “like” Dogs Bay Country Cottage. We will be posting something special for this first visit.
