Next steps
Provide vaccinations and health records.
Any dog who does not have updated vaccines are not allowed into the facility for services.
Vaccinations required for GVK9 are:
- Current Rabies
- Yearly Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
- DHPP/DHLPP (Distemper/Parvo)
*Owners are responsible for keeping dogs up to date on all shots and providing updated records as need.
What Do I Bring?
Please bring your dog's food. If you have a specific scoop that you use that's great! During check in we will go over feeding amounts and instructions to confirm. We highly encourage bringing your food in pre-packed baggies!
WE DO NOT ACCEPT RAW HIDES OR BULLY STICKS.
Medication
Any medications and medical issues will be discussed prior to drop off. We are not a medical boarding facility: dogs with severe medical issues will not be accepted.
Any required medications must arrive in their original containers and include instructions regarding dosage amount and times for administration. If your dog requires cheese or peanut butter to take their medications, we encourage owners to bring what is needed for the boarding stay. If dogs require cheese or peanut butter and do not supply their own, there will be a daily charge. We do not administer any injectable medications, including insulin.
We cannot accept medications mixed with food.
Our staff does not "pill" dogs. (i.e. we will never force a medication into a dog's mouth)
*Green Valley K9 reserves the right to refuse care for any dog where the owner has failed to disclose any medical conditions, injuries or illness prior to drop off.
Dog Beds
Green Valley K9 provides a raised bed with the option to add on a fleece cover at no cost. We will not accept outside bedding.
What to expect for your dogs' stay:
- Rooms range from 3x5 to 9x12 ft. Dogs are booked according to weight.
- All rooms feature a window to the outside for natural light.
- A raised Kuranda bed is available for each pup with a soft fleece cover when requested.
- Sanitized bowl with water filled throughout the day.
One of our three wings is dedicated exclusively to dogs under 40 pounds. Smaller sized beds with the same fleece covering are also provided.
**Socialization is never guaranteed.
We require all dog's participating in group play to exhibit friendly acceptable behaviors. If your dog displays negative body language, rough play, repeated mounting, they may be pulled from group either permanently or for the day. This will always be at the discretion of kennel staff.
Facility Update:
Due to high demand, we are putting a temporary hold on our application process for daycare, boarding, and grooming services. We will update the website when space becomes available. Thank you for your understanding
