FAQ
Q - What does my dog need to stay overnite or for the day at Pacific Paws?
A - Daycare and boarding dogs must be healthy, on a flea & tick prevention program, have current vaccinations, and the owner must complete our Boarding Agreement.
Q - Do I bring my dog's usual food & treats for overnight boarding?
A - Yes, we want to keep his usual diet. Please write down his name on each bag or can along with any needed medications.
Q - Does someone stay with the dogs overnight?
A - Yes, a human caregiver is on site 24 hours. Drop off and pick up between 6:15am and 8:30pm daily.
Q - What is doggie daycare?
A - It's a place for dogs to play with other dogs, burn energy, and become better socialized with other dogs and people. Great for behavior improvements.
Q - Do you groom cats too?
A - Yes, we provide cat baths, hair cuts, and nails.
Q- What standards of care do you follow?
A- We run our facility generally following the "best practices" set forth by the Pet Care Services Association and the UC Davis Koret program. These collectively cover daily operations, cleaning, safety, and disease control.
Q - What is Kennel Cough?
A - Like children at school, when dogs gather to socialize, they share more than their company. As with children’s colds, this interaction occasionally transmits an illness such as "kennel cough”. Your dog can contract kennel cough anywhere they come into contact with other dogs - such as the dog park, on a walk meeting other dogs, the veterinarian's office, at the pet store, at the groomers, in a kennel, etc.
A healthy dog will typically weather a typical kennel cough very similarly to a human with a cold. Symptoms typically last up to 10 days. A very young, very old, or dog with a weakened immune system could develop more serious complications.
Pacific Paws requires all boarding and day care dogs to be immunized within 12 months of their stay and we disinfect our facility throughout the day. However, immunization does not provide 100% prevention of all causes of kennel cough and agents immunized against mutate rapidly with time. Pacific Paws will not admit a dog with kennel cough. A dog which develops kennel cough during their stay with us will be isolated in quarantine and the owner contacted for discharge as soon as practical. A veterinarian should be consulted by the owner as a precaution.
