What to pack for your dog's boarding stay

Drop-offs go fastest when you bring three things: your dog's regular food portioned per meal, any medications with dosing notes, and one comfort item that smells like home.

Keeping your dog on their usual food matters more than people expect. A sudden diet switch plus the excitement of boarding is the most common cause of an upset stomach mid-stay.

We supply bowls, bedding, treats, and the entertainment. If your dog has a favorite toy that will survive group storage, send it along and we will make sure it comes home.
