CAN I TAKE A TOUR?
Absolutely! We love to showcase our brand-new resort. Please call or email us to set up an appointment.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
At P-K Pet Resort & Spa, we ensure a luxurious stay for all our boarding pet guests, providing everything they need. However, to avoid any upset stomachs due to a change in diet, we ask you to bring their food pre-portioned per serving/day in individual baggies.
You are welcome to bring along items like a T-shirt or an extra blanket that may make your pet’s stay more comfortable.
What To Bring:
Food- All food must be pre-portioned per serving/per day in individual baggies. For example, if your pup stays for three days and eats twice a day, please provide six separate baggies, each containing a single serving of food. This preparation ensures your pet receives the right amount at each meal and helps us care for them as you would at home.
*** If you would like us to pre-portion the meals, there will be a charge of $5/day.
*** If we need to buy your pet’s specific food from a local store, please note that there will be a delivery fee of $50, in addition to the cost of the dog food.
Medications- All medication must be brought in the prescription bottle or original packaging.
Collar and Leash- for your pet to enter and exit the resort. We kindly request you take these items home with you to minimize the risk of misplacement.
Toys- please limit your pet’s toys to 2 (two) that are safe for unsupervised play.
***Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage to these items.
The safety of your companion is our utmost priority, and we reserve the right to make decisions accordingly.
DO YOU BOARD CATS?
As much as we adore cats, unfortunately we do not at this time. We have limited availability for in-home cat sitting.
We dream of someday adding a cat only resort & a sanctuary but until then we donate our time volunteering and a portion of our VIP suites profits to Camp Companion and Evergreen Sanctuary.
DO YOU GROOM CATS?
Unfortunately, we no longer offer cat grooming services. Our master cat groomer is no longer available. When we find a groomer we trust, we will let you know our recommendation.
CAN MY DOGS SHARE A SUITE?
Yes, they can! Dogs from the same household can often share a suite. We prioritize their well-being and consider each dog’s size, breed, personality, and overall comfort level in a new environment. Even dogs who live together can sometimes feel overwhelmed in a new place, so we keep a close eye on everyone and may separate them if needed to help them settle in and feel comfortable. Some dogs may share a suite but be separated for feeding or overnight while still spending the day together, while others may go out together for potty and playtime breaks.
***Please note: Boarding fees are charged per pet, even when dogs share a suite, as each dog still requires individual care and attention.
IF MY DOGS SHARE A SUITE, IS THERE A DISCOUNT?
We do not offer discounts. Boarding fees apply to each pet so we can provide the individual care, supervision, and attention every dog receives during their stay.
Dogs from the same household may be able to share a suite if it’s a good fit. However, we always prioritize each dog’s comfort and well-being, and may recommend separate suites if needed to keep their stay relaxed and stress-free.
ARE VACCINATIONS REQUIRED?
Proof of vaccinations from your pet’s veterinarian are required for all Boarding, Day Retreat, Grooming/Spa and Pet-Kab services.
We can only confirm reservations once we have up-to-date vaccination records on file.
Bordetella must be administered at least 2 weeks prior to your pet’s arrival.
All puppies must be 4 months of age and have completed their required vaccinations.
Required Vaccinations:
Rabies: 1 or 3 years
DHLPP: 1 year
Bordetella: 1 year (at least 2 weeks prior to arrival)
Canine Influenza Vaccine: highly recommended but not required at this time (subject to policy change).
IS SOMEONE AT THE RESORT WITH THE DOGS 24/7?
While we don't have staff awake during sleeping hours, rest assured we have multiple layers of security and monitoring in place overnight:
Owner Proximity: Alex, one of the owners, lives right next door to the resort and is only steps away.
Continuous Monitoring: We have cameras placed throughout the resort that we check regularly.
Immediate Alerts: The facility is equipped with alarms that notify us directly the moment any issue arises.
Your pup is never truly alone. Our security systems and the owner's proximity ensure that any concern is quickly identified and addressed. As an added benefit, the cameras allow both our staff and you, the pet parent, to keep a watchful eye!
HOW MUCH TIME DO THE DOGS GET FOR THE INDIVIDUAL PLAY SESSION?
We prioritize quality, personalized time for every pup!
All our guests are taken out every 2–3 hours throughout the day.
Each dog also receives focused one-on-one time:
Luxury Guests receive ONE individual play or cuddle session.
Grand Guests receive TWO individual sessions.
Each session is tailored to your pup's unique play style and needs and usually runs for 15 minutes or longer. Since your dog has our full, undivided attention for the entire time, we can completely focus on their favorite activities whether that's playing with toys, working on puzzles, cuddling, or even learning new tricks.
