Cat and Dog Boarding: A Typical Day

Dogs

Each morning, the dogs venture outside to our outdoor run for fresh air before breakfast. While they are outside, their kennels are cleaned, disinfected, and stocked with fresh linens.

Depending on their physical capacity and ability, we walk the dogs who stay with us on a regular schedule. 

Your dog will also be supervised throughout their stay with us, both during walks and while resting.

Dinner is served in the evening, followed by one last walk before bedtime.

Cats

Your cat will be fed according to your specifications and their requirements, to ensure their routine is the same as it is at home.

Throughout the day, litter boxes are checked, cleaned, and disinfected.

Additionally, we refresh linens and clean your kitty's room daily. Our cat boarding area is separated from the dog area to ensure your kitty feels relaxed and safe while they stay with us.

TLC Playtime 

We offer a Group Play Package and One-on-One Time to ensure dogs are able to interact with our trained team members and other dogs depending on their needs, characteristics and abilities. One-on-One Time is also available for cats. 

See the FAQ about TLC Playtime for more details. 

Medical Boarding

Our knowledgeable veterinarians and nurses will administer medications and keep a close eye on your pet. Any medications that are required will be given to your pet on the same schedule that they are used to at home.

Boarding Policies

ALL ANIMALS MUST BE CURRENT ON ALL CORE VACCINATIONS. Core vaccines are rabies, distemper/parvo, kennel cough, and the canine influenza vaccine. Proof of vaccinations must be shown within
one hour of check-in or they will be given at owner’s expense.
All animals must be free of internal and external parasites (fleas, ticks, ear mites & intestinal worms) or they
will be treated at the owner’s expense.
One of the advantages of boarding your pet(s) at a veterinary clinic or hospital is that veterinary attention is
available should the need arise. If your pet becomes ill or injured, we will call the emergency number(s) listed
above regarding your pet(s) symptoms, treatment options, and estimate of additional cost. If no one can be
reached, I give Animal Medical Center of Cumming, Inc. permission to treat, prescribe for, operate upon,
and/or transport the pet to an appropriate facility as necessary and adjust the bill accordingly.
Medications given while boarding are administered by trained technicians and documented in the patient’s
chart. There is an additional fee per day. Medication fee is waived if your pet participates in playtime.
We are not responsible for personal items brought by owner.

Lodging Options

Regular: Dogs are walked and cat cages are cleaned twice daily, fed according to owner’s specifications, and
must be current on all vaccinations. Pets will lodge in size appropriate cages. Baths, toenail trims, and
medications may be administered for an additional fee.
Playtime Package: In addition to regular lodging services, dogs will receive group play/socialization time twice a day and a bed-time snack for an additional fee. Cats will receive individual time with staff members as well as play time on the cat tree. For every day of play, medications will be given at no additional cost.
Additional details
The purpose of Group Play offered in our TLC (Playtime) Package is to provide a safe, fun and
stimulating social environment for our lodging dogs. Dogs will be able to exercise during action packed
sessions where they will learn social skills and have personal interaction with trained team members
as well as other dogs. This type of play will also provide an often much-needed outlet for high-energy
dogs. If your dog doesn’t socialize well with other dogs, one-on-one time will be offered instead with all
of the aforementioned benefits. Activities will vary, but rest assured that your dog will be under
constant supervision by our trained staff. We understand that not all dogs play the same, so dogs will
be let out in groups are appropriately sized. Size, breed, age and demeanor will all be determining
factors when placing them within the appropriate group.
