1. What is the typical day for my dog or cat during boarding?
Dogs:
A) We start our morning off with ’business meeting’ on the K-9 grass while we serve up their first course of the day. When they arrive back to their ‘dressing rooms’ they will be treated to our holistic food or if preferred the food you have provided.
B) We allow our stars adequent time to eat and prepare for their daily performance on stage.
C) Your star will spend the rest of day performing on the ‘All My Pups’ live webcam channel where you and other proud parents can watch!
D) We will pamper your star with as many nap and meal breaks as you request throughout the day.
E) We make sure that your little star has at least an hour after their final meal for their last minute ‘business meetings’ before they retire for the night.
Cats:
Each cat has their own 5-level condo with a screen door. They are allowed to roam the room between 2-12 hours a day depending on how many families of cats are boarding on a given day. While out of the condo, they may choose to watch the fish swim, hide amongst the greenery, or jump up on the rocking chair and gaze into the lobby. Oh, don’t forget to log-in and check on your kitty while on vacation- they are on the webcams too!
2. Can I bring my own food or toys?
Yes. Since many rock stars can be possessive of their belongings- all personal affects will be kept in their personal dressing room.
3. What makes your resort environmentally friendly?
We do everything they can in their personal lives to protect the environment. It was only natural to bring those personal goals to Puppywood Pet Resort!
What we do for the environment:
On a day to day basis: We use all-natural Shaklee cleaners to disinfect and clean the surfaces, we use all natural shampoos and conditioners during all grooming. This helps your dog or cat since many animals have environmental allergies and it also helps the environment by preventing the use harsh chemicals that degrade the environment. We recycle paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum. While the dogs are out playing during the day- we turn off lighting in the empty kennel area.
During construction of Puppywood Pet Resort:
We limited our floorplan changes to use as much of the existing materials left from the previous occupants. When we did remove items, everything from 2×4’s, carpet, and drywall were listed for free on craigslist to make sure they were reused. Any wiring or metal was taken recycling centers. We ended up recycling about 70% of the contents that we did not need for our facility. We have updated our lobby and exterior lights to CFL. All fencing and flooring purchased was flat packet to prevent waste in transportation fuels (yes- this did mean ALOT of extra work for us…but well worth it!) The roof was already painted a lite color to help fight global warming.
Future goals:
We are currently looking at our different options for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
This place is a great place to trust with your pet’s care. The facility is always kept clean and the staff are caring, friendly and great with your pet while you are at work or away on vacation. My dog Tess truly LOVES going there and always comes home content and relaxed after a long day of running and playing. In addition to all this, the staff is also great about not just letting your pets play, but watching over them and informing you if they notice any problems such as not eating as much food, increased urination, or any other concerns. Overall a great place!!
