Important Notes and Rates
All boarding dogs MUST HAVE THEIR VACCINATIONS UP TO DATE. This includes DA2PP (Parvo Virus),
Rabies and Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccination.
All cats must have their FVRCP & Rabies vaccination
and we also recommend the FeLv vaccine (feline Leukemia).
**IF PROOF OF VACCINES IS NOT PROVIDED YOUR PET(S) CAN NOT STAY.**
This is not only for the safety of your pet but for the others that are here as well.
PLEASE NOTE: Kennel Cough is not a core vaccine meaning that your Veterinarian may not give it
unless asked. Please contact your Veterinarian to confirm that your dog is vaccinated for kennel cough.
We also require that your dog be on a flea/deworming and tick control product from your Veterinarian
June-November (like Revolution, Advantage (for fleas only)
Advantage Multi, Simparica, Bravecto and Nexguard) as external parasites spread very quickly..
If your dog has fleas currently or you do not provide proof of flea medication he/she will not be permitted to stay.
*Because of our closely interactive style of boarding, we are unable to accept non-neutered males over the age of 6 months, or any females in heat. We also will not accept any dogs aggressive towards people or other dogs. If you misrepresent your dog, they will not be welcome back. If your dog bites us, or another dog while here, they also will not be welcome back.
Food and Special Needs
It is important that you bring your own dog or cats food. A sudden change in diet for your pet could cause vomiting and/or diarrhea. This will cause unnecessary stress for your pet during their stay. If your dog begins having diarrhea, vomiting, fever or lethargy before coming to Just 4 Paws they will not be permitted to stay, please schedule an appointment with your Veterinarian, and should medications be required, then we will be happy to take them after the medical assessment.
We provide blankets and beds however we encourage you to bring your own blankets and toys in with your pet. This will help your pet to settle in and be much happier if he/she has something of their own from home.
Emergency Information
It is important for you to leave contact information for someone other than your veterinarian that can make medical decisions for you.
Please make sure this person is aware that they are our contact and that they know what you would want done. A medical problem can arise at any time.
Why us?
How We Care For Your Dog
At Just 4 Paws we believe every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable and understood while they are in our care. We are proud to be Fear Free certified which means we take a thoughtful individualized approach to reducing fear, anxiety and stress. From gentle handling and positive reinforcement to creating a calm comfortable environment, we look at the experience from your pets point of view.
We get to know each dog as an individual because what helps one dog feel relaxed may not work for another. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe happy and at home, not simply well cared for.
We offer soft music, a calm environment, toy and food enrichment and positive experiences.
We also understand that persistent anxious behavior, excessive barking or significant changes in behavior can sometimes indicate that a dog needs more support than we alone can provide. When we feel a dog may benefit from Veterinary attention we will discuss our concerns with you. Our goal is simple, less fear, less stress and more happy tails, because boarding should be a positive experience for you dog and for you!
