- Cancellation for a holiday stay is required 10 days prior to the check-in date to receive a full refund.

Dogs must play by the rules.
Dog Days is a social, group environment where the dogs hang out and play together all day. In order to keep things, well, orderly, certain rules apply. All dogs must be:
- Free of communicable diseases
- Spayed/neutered (if over 7 months of age)
- On a flea/tick preventative, such as Frontline from April – November
- Up-to-date with DHPP, Rabies, and Bordetella vaccinations.
- Canine Influenza vaccine is HIGHLY recommended.
A behavior assessment is done for first-timers to ensure they’ll be able to be part of the playgroup at Dog Days. We are unable to accept “non-social” dogs who cannot be part of the playgroup. Older dogs who may need shorter playgroup time and longer nap times can certainly be accommodated.

Medication Policy:
If your dog requires medications, our qualified caregivers will ensure that the medications are correctly administered per your instructions.
- Name of medication
- Quantity and type of unit (example: 1 tablet) per dose
- When to be administered (our standard med times are breakfast (6:45-7:30a), lunch (12-12:30), dinner (5:15-6:15p) or bedtime (8:30-9p))
We do not charge for administering supplements. Supplements (example: fish oil) are considered anything that we can add to your dog’s meal, and it doesn’t require monitoring to be certain the dog eats it. For example, if we add a supplement to dinner and your dog refuses to eat dinner and fish oil, it is OK with you that your dog skipped the supplement.
