I am interested in bringing my dog to Vail Doggie Day Spa, what do I need to do?
The first step would be to review the requirements. There are no exceptions. This is the first step in determining if our facility is the right fit for your dog.
Should I bring my own food for boarding?
YES - we ask that you bring the food that your dog is used to so that he does not get an upset stomach. We will follow your regular feeding instructions at no additional charge. Vail Doggie Day Spa can supply food for an extra charge as a last resort.
Can I bring my dog's bed or blanket?
No, Vail Doggie will provide blankets and bedding.
How many times a day will my dog go outside?
We take dogs out for walks every three hours to help ensure there are no accidents inside. This can mean that your dog will get up to 5 chances a day to go outside.
Do you administer medications?
Yes, we administer most medications according to your veterinarian's instructions free of charge. However, we can not administer intramuscular or intravenous shots.
I have two dogs boarding together. Will you feed them separately?
Yes, we will feed your dogs separately according to your instructions. Let us know when you drop your dogs off how you would like them fed.
Does Vail Doggie Day Spa have a veterinarian?
If veterinary attention is required we will use your current veterinarian. If your vet is closed or not local, we will use our regular veterinarian, Dr. Molly Malloy of Eagle Vet. Unfortunately, we do not have a veterinarian on staff.
My dog does not get along with other dogs and does not like people. Will you still let me board him?
Unfortunately, we can not accept dogs that show any signs of excessive aggression. While we do care about your dog individually, we can not endanger the other dogs or our staff.
How do you accommodate small dogs?
At Vail Doggie Day Spa we love dogs of all sizes and understand the intimidation factor of larger dogs. This is why we have three separate play areas to allow alike dogs to play together. Some small dogs don't care about their size difference and want to play with the big guys. Our trained staff can determine where your dogs best belong.
