If you want anyone other than you to pick up your dog, you must specify that person on the On-Boarding form.

Food During Boarding
Basic meals for the pets are included in their stay. The number of meals are according to the duration of the stay. However, you may provide us with the food your dog is used to eating. Whenever possible, please bring the food in separate sealed containers per meal/serving and mark the containers with the name of the pet and time of meal. Please also provide complete feeding instructions in the On-Boarding form. No refund or discount will be given if you bring your own food.

Medical Attention
You will be contacted before Poochkins seeks medical attention if your dog becomes ill or is deemed to need immediate medical attention. If we’re unable to contact you, or in case of dire emergency, Poochkins has the right to administer aid and/or to use any available veterinarian. You also agree to pay all expenses incurred for medical treatment, transport, time, and any other related expenses. We may call you from the veterinarian facility to arrange payment before treatment is commenced.
Toys & Bedding
We allow bedding if it can be laundered and has your name permanently marked on it. Please ensure all bedding is clean and flea-free. We allow toys without squeakers. Any toy that may be a choking or health hazard or cause injury is not allowed. Poochkins reserves the right to deny toys and bedding supplied by you.
Personal Property
You acknowledge that Poochkins will not be held responsible or liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal property belonging either to you or to your dog. If your dog causes any damage to the Poochkins facility or equipment, you understand that you may be held responsible for the cost of repair or replacement.
Behavior
- Dog Compatibility: We accept all breeds of dogs, except the ones banned by law. We also accept dogs that do not get along with other dogs or may be aggressive toward other dogs (please be clear on the On-Boarding form). These dogs will get the same love and attention as all other dogs and will have the same amount of playtime in the park as all other dogs.
- Aggressive Dogs: We DO NOT accept dogs who are aggressive towards people. If we feel that your pet poses a threat to our staff, then we reserve the right to refuse to board your dog. Should your pet become aggressive towards the staff during their stay, your emergency contact may be required to give your pet emergency accommodation. Please note that in case we must transfer your pet on to you or to your emergency contact, the full price for the duration booked will still apply and no refund will be given.
- Responsibility and Liability: You further understand that you take full responsibility and liability in any and every way for any damage to personal property, injury, or death caused to other dog(s) or staff or person(s) by your dog.

- In Heat: We DO NOT accept “in heat” females for boarding.
Flea / Tick Control
Dogs must be on some type of flea and tick control. If we find ticks on your pet, we will where possible remove them safely with tick removers. If we feel this cannot be achieved, we will contact you or your emergency contact to discuss further treatment options with the assistance of a veterinarian.
Vaccines
- Minimum Requirements: At a minimum, pet dogs must have been administered the following vaccinations for their safety from a licensed veterinarian practice: 9-in-1 (includes safety against parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and leptospirosis); Anti-rabies; Corona; Kennel cough.

Abandonment
Abandonment of pets is punishable by law. I understand that if I do not pick up my dog at all, Poochkins will have the right to proceed with the guidelines stipulated by law and take legal action against me. I also acknowledge that I will be fully responsible for all attorneys’ fees and associated costs if I abandon my dog.
Photos and Videos
I give my permission for Poochkins to take photographs, and/or videos, and to use the images or videos of my dog in printed matter, internet sites, or other promotional or advertising capacities. Photographs and videos are the property of Poochkins.
Changes
Poochkins reserves the right to change policies, procedures, and services, and adjust rates without notice. While we will attempt to notify you of these changes, it is ultimately your responsibility to be aware of current policies and rates.
