We
have a
printable checklist
to help you
remember what to bring.
ARRIVAL
Remember that your pet must be on a leash or in a crate when arriving
or leaving. If you've never boarded a pet at Countryside Pet
Spa,
plan on spending about 15 to 20 minutes at check-in time. We want to
know details about your dog or cat so that we can provide the best care
possible. There will be a standard boarding
contract to complete, giving us specific information about diet,
medical
conditions, special instructions, a phone number where you can be
reached in case of emergency, and vaccination information. If you will
be pressed for time on the day you check in, you may choose to come in
anohter day or help us fill in this information over the phone.
First-time boarders will need to prepay at check-in time. We accept
cash, check, and credit or debit cards.
MEDICAL RECORDS
We will need to see a current vaccination record when you arrive. This
can be a copy of a record from your veterinarian.
- For dogs, veterinarians recommend that bordetella
vaccinations (to guard against "kennel cough") be updated annually. The
vaccine starts working within 24 hours and is fully effective after 72
hours. This immunization must be current when you board
your pet at Countryside Pet Spa. We also require that distemper
/ parvo vaccination be up to date.
- For cats, we require that the distemper
/ upper
respiratory and chlamydia vaccinations be
current.
 WHAT TO BRING
We encourage you to bring a favorite toy or
two along to keep your pet occupied during the day. Please be sure
that toys are at least tennis ball size or larger and durable. Pressed
rawhide or other commercially available chews are
great, but
please no uncooked bones. For your convenience, Countryside stocks a
good selection of toys and chews at reasonable prices in the retail
store located in our lobby.
To make your pet's stay more comfortable, you may bring
familiar bedding
from home. Please be sure it is clearly labeled with your pet's name
and your phone number. We suggest bringing several beach-size towels,
as we are unable to launder large blankets or rugs. We like to keep the
bedding clean if it becomes soiled during your pet's stay. For your
convenience, we can provide
acrylic "wooly" mats and towels if you prefer not to bring your own.
