Cain’s Dog House Boarding Information
At Cain’s Dog House, our goal is to provide you with a safe and comfortable place to leave your pets while you are away. We realize that leaving your best friend can be very difficult for you. We promise to take very good care of him/her while you are gone.
We firmly believe in spoiling pets. After all, it’s their world, we are just lucky to be able to be here to take care of their every need! At our facility, we do not board in cages. We have spacious, indoor, air conditioned areas for your pets to stay in. We even have the ultimate suites with cable television for those who love the Animal Planet channel! And we have a large fenced in yard for exercise and potty time.
Please read the tips and policy sections for further information about boarding your pets with us.
TIPS
1. It is best to get your best friend used to being away from his/her parents at a young age. Visit several kennels to see which one your pet would be the most comfortable and best cared for in. Once you have found a great home away from home, leave your pet for a night or two to get used to their new vacation spot before leaving them for a long period of time.
2. Although we provide dry food, your puppy/kitty may enjoy eating his usual diet while staying with us. Feel free to bring whatever he really likes, even if that’s McDonalds. We will follow whatever feeding instructions you give us. It in not necessary to bring kitty litter when boarding your cat.
3. Don’t forget to bring your little ones favorite bed and toys. But please don’t get mad at him if he chews it up while on vacation. After all, that is his time to do what you won’t let him get away with at home!
4. Try to provide us with the most information about your pet that you can. This will help us to really get to know his habits and spoil him better.
