Required Vaccines: Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella, Heartworm Test and a negative fecal. Fecals are due every 6 months. There is a 7 day waiting period after a first time bordatella vaccine. Please note, we try to send out vaccine reminders as a courtesy, but it is your responsibility to keep your pet’s vaccine information updated and faxed over by your veterinarian after relevant vet visits. You can log into your portal at any time to see vaccine information.
Emergency Policy: In the event of an emergency, we will notify the emergency contact person designated on your enrollment form. Please understand, we have no way to transport your pet to a veterinarian, so it’s very important your emergency contact person is available and willing to care for or transport your pet to the vet, including the nearest 24 hour emergency care facility.
Illness Policy: We cannot accept any dogs with the following; fleas, parasites, vomiting, diarrhea, eye or nose discharge unrelated to allergies, contagious skin condition or cough. If your dog shows any signs of these conditions while in our care, we will separate your pet to a special quarantine area and contact your veterinarian for instructions. You will be responsible for any fees related to treatment.
Health & Wellness: Every dog responds differently to boarding, and their needs may change during their stay. If your fur baby becomes ill, stressed, stops eating or needs a little extra support, the Dogs Bay team will provide the care we believe is needed for their health, comfort and safety. This may include feeding support, wellness checks, calming support, extra potty breaks, laundry, spot baths or additional personal attention. Additional fees may apply. We will handle routine care decisions without interrupting your time away and will contact you or your emergency contact if veterinary care or care beyond our normal boarding protocols is needed.
Senior Dogs: Our Senior Center Package is mandatory for dogs 10 and older. Price is $5/day in addition to your selected boarding fee.
Puppies: Our Puppy Package is mandatory for puppies under 9 months old. Price is $5/day in addition to your selected boarding fee.
Dog Bite Policy: We do everything we can to ensure a happy and safe environment, however dogs are animals and can be unpredictable, even in the safest environment. In the event your dog is bitten, you hold harmless all parties, including Dogs Bay staff. If your dog bites a human, you will be liable under the laws in the State of Michigan.
Payment: Payment is due at time services are rendered. We accept cash/check and all major credit cards. Cash payments qualify for a $2/night discount! We require a credit card on file prior to your first boarding. Call the office at 269-857-8310 to put your card number securely in our system.
