Question 1

What is Dog Boarding?

Accepted Answer

Dog boarding can be likened to a hotel or resort stay for your dog while you and your family are out of town. Dog parents usually choose to board their furry family members when taking extended trips where it would be difficult to accommodate pets. Skagit Canine Club provides a staycation for your furry loved ones, caring for all their basic needs and providing them with plenty of attention and play while you’re away.

Question 3

What happens when I get back from my trip early? Do I get a credit?

Accepted Answer

You can pick up your dog(s) early, however we do not give a credit for early pick up.  If you do want to pick up early please call, text or email to change your reservation time.  Please make sure you get a confirmation response before coming to pick up your pet.

Question 4

Can you administer Medications?

Accepted Answer

We can! We just ask that the medication is properly labeled with the current dose for your dog and if you do not have a current prescription bottle that you supply us with a copy of the prescription. We do not give injections. We have the right to refuse dogs that require care outside our expertise, if we do not feel comfortable caring for your dog, we won't. Safety is our 100% priority.

Question 5

Meals

Accepted Answer

The dogs are usually fed twice a day, but some owners may feed their dogs 3 times a day, and we can happily accommodate special requests in case your dog has a different schedule.

When boarding we ask that you please prepare each meal’s serving size in a separate baggie labeled with your dog’s name for each day of your dog’s stay, and please include any treats you'd like them to have.

We have a fridge, freezer and microwave available to prep food.  SCC can provide a tummy-friendly food in case of a shortage for an added $2/meal charge.

Question 6

What should I bring for my dog?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you only bring an old t-shirt or towel that smells like your home. Please leave irreplaceable items at home. Please bring your dog's usual food so they seamlessly adjust to their stay, this lowers the opportunity for an upset stomach. Please provide their food for every day of your dog's stay in a clearly labeled ziploc bag or a container with a lid.

Question 8

What vaccinations are required?

Accepted Answer

Vaccines required: Rabies, Bordetella, DHLPP. At Skagit Canine Club, the safety of our dogs comes first. We support individualized vaccination, flea, tick, and worming schedules as long as you are working with a veterinarian. We do not require yearly vaccinations if they have been determined to have long-term immunity or if there are health risks. If your dog goes to dog parks, we suggest staying current with yearly vaccinations. We require a current note from your veterinarian for each vaccine and do not accept titer tests for the rabies vaccine. Canine cough and flu vaccinations are up to the owner and their veterinarian. All vaccinations should be given at least 7 days before their stay at SCC or any stressful change in their life.

Question 9

Question 11

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

48 hour notice for full refund, if we do not receive notice more than 48 hours in advance your deposit will be charged.

Question 12

Is there a multiple dog discount?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 15% discount for multiple dogs from the same household.  Dogs need to be able to share a suite and enjoy mealtimes together without being monitored. For big dogs we can have 2 in the same suite- 1st dog $60/day 2nd dog $51/day.  We only allow two dogs per suite at this time.

Keep in mind boarding can be a stressful situation for even the most laid-back pups. We wouldn't want siblings who get along wonderfully at home to start being food, toy or bed aggressive with each other due to being in a new and potentially stressful situation. If the dogs need to be split up during their stay for their safety or ours we will do that and you will be charged the $60/day per dog.

Question 17

What if my dog isn't feeling well?

Accepted Answer

Dogs showing signs of illness/potentially contagious disease will not be admitted. Example: diarrhea, coughing, nasal discharge, and eye inflammation/ discharge. If your dog starts to show any of these signs while in our care, they will be moved to our quarantine suite and your vet will be notified.

Question 18

Do you require trial nights?

Accepted Answer

Trial overnights are recommended/required if you are unsure if your dog will do well at SCC for separation anxiety, possible aggression or other reasons. This allows everyone to determine if we are the right fit while the owners are available to pickup the pup.  Trial nights can be booked by calling or via our online booking portal here https://booking.goose.pet/skagit-canine-club/search/boarding/pets

We also recommend speaking to your veterinarian about anti anxiety medications prior to your visit if this is something you are worried about.

Question 19

What should I expect when I get home with my dog?

Accepted Answer

When you get home, your dog may be excited and tired from their stay. They might need some time to readjust to their home environment. It's normal for dogs to sleep more than usual after boarding due to the excitement and activity during their stay. Make sure to provide them with plenty of water and a quiet space to rest.
