Policies

Late Pick Up

& Early Drop off

Policy

We offer early drop off and afternoon pick up, for boarding, by appointment only, so give us a call to schedule.

The service fee is

$1 per minute, per pet,

outside of standard business or appointment hours.

After 6:30pm, with no contact received, your pet(s) will be boarded for the night and you will be unable to pick up until the next business day.

No Call/No Show Policy

After several no shows our policy is:

  • Daycare: Prior to any future daycare days to be scheduled, prepayment for the group play is required at the time of booking.

  • Boarding: Prior to any future boarding, prepayment for the kennel will be required.

  • Holiday Boarding: Any no call/no shows for boarding over holidays will result in the facility keeping the entirety of the prepayment for the kennel(s).
     

These booking fees are non-refundable and will be kept if another no show occurs. If the appointments are kept the money paid will be put towards your charge for that daycare, boarding, or grooming appointment. 

Vet Requirements

Canine:    Rabies

                 Canine Distemper

                 Bordetella (every 6 months)

                 Leptospirosis

                 Fecal

Feline:     Rabies

                Feline Distemper

                 

All elderly pets or those with preexisting medical conditions are required to have an up to date veterinary exam completed by a PetSound Animal Hospital veterinarian to ensure that everyone is aware of your pet's specific needs.

*An exam must be completed by a Petsound Animal Hospital veterinarian prior to have any vaccines coordiated for your pet.

Holiday Booking

Policy

We require prepayment for all boarding reservations that extend over major holidays. At the time of the reservation, full price for the kennel size is required. As we have limited kennel space and tend to book up fast over the holidays, this helps us to ensure we will have a set number of boarders for our staff to take care of. 

Holiday Boarding: Any no call/no shows for boarding over holidays will result in the facility keeping the entirety of the prepayment for the kennel(s).

Holiday Boarding Cancellation

Policy

If a holiday boarding stay is cancelled 2 weeks prior to drop off, we are able to refund the prepayment directly to your card only keeping our $50 fee, per pet, for holidays cancellations. Later amendments or cancellations to a holiday reservation will result in a $50 fee, per pet, kept by PetSound and the rest remains as a credit to the account to use for future veterinary, grooming or boarding use. See no call/no show policy for how that effects your holiday cancellation.

 

  • Cancels day of on ANY boarding reservation also results in a $50 fee.

  • This policy is in place as we are a small business and losing even a 3 night boarding stay is a significant loss to the company.

Grooming appointment policies

Grooming appointments are only booked on select days and availability may vary so ensure that you are pre-booking all grooming appointments.

Clients are required to fill out a new Grooming Consent Form for every grooming, or bath, appointment. 

All grooming clients are required to be on a scheduled grooming rotation. Grooming appointment rotations vary between 4, 6, 8, or 10 weeks. Please consider the coat maintenance and overall care for your pet prior to selecting a grooming rotation. Staff can assist with recommendations for your pet's specific needs.

Canine:    Rabies

                 Canine Distemper

                 Bordetella

Feline:     Rabies

                Feline Distemper

Muliple cancelled grooms will result in prepayment for the full groom price at the time of booking an appointment.
