Resort Style Dog Boarding

Your dog’s comfort and well being is our utmost concern at Shag Bark Pet Retreat & Spa. Because your dog should have a safe, clean place to board while you’re away, we keep our pet boarding quarters clean, comfortable and as relaxing as possible, while providing many opportunities for exercise. Unless you request otherwise, each pet has his own spacious personal bunk to rest, exercise and play throughout the day.

A $50.00  non-refundable deposit may be required during our peak season holidays. 

Exercise and Activities

Since some dogs crave a lot of activity, and others are happy to run for a little bit, and then simply enjoy the fresh open air, we offer a variety of packages for our furry guests including:

• One-on-one play periods with a personal attendant
• Group play activities
• Nature walks
• Same-family play times
• Cuddle Time

Our goal is to keep our guests healthy and happy by keeping them engaged in physically and mentally enriching activities. Rates for our one of a kind activities range from $3.00-$15.00.  If you would like to consider multiple activities, read more about our activity packages.

Clean and Comfortable Bunking Area

All of our dog boarding guests enjoy spacious accommodations in our extremely clean bunking facility. To help keep your pet comfortable, safe and healthy, our bunking area floors are epoxy coated enabling us to keep the floors dry and sanitary. All bunks are sanitized twice daily with a pet-safe disinfectant designed for animal environments.

Convenient Potty Breaks

To create an atmosphere as comfortable as a pet’s home, we try to maintain the conditions and routines for which they are accustomed. Chances are your dog doesn’t use the bathroom inside, so we don’t expect him to eliminate in living space. As part of our daily routine, our caring staff takes our dog lodging guests outside for potty breaks five times throughout the day. This provides for more sanitary accommodations, allows for more staff interaction with your loved one, and eliminates health issues associated with dogs refusing to relieve themselves inside.

Mealtime

We take being the next best place to home to heart. We are always adapting and looking for the transition from home to us to be seamless. With that in mind we ask all of our guests to bring their meals from home. This way there isn’t a change that may lead to stomach upset or refusal to eat. We are able to refrigerate, freeze or microwave meals. We only ask that you bag your own dry food in individual serving size bags. We can adopt your feeding schedule up to three meals a day, including snacks and treats.

Required Vaccinations

For the safety and well being of all of our guests, we require that all pets be current with vaccinations.  To mitigate the possible spread of infectious pathogens All veterinary visits must occur at least 7 days prior to arrival at our facility.  If your dog has been exposed to or has been treated for a communicable disease within the past 30 days, a note from a veterinarian providing a clean bill of health is required.  For your convenience, please ask your veterinarian to fax your dog’s records to us or bring them in when you check in. Up-to-date vaccination requirements include:

Dogs (16 weeks and older)

• Rabies
• Parvo
• Distemper
• Bordetella

Puppies (10-16 weeks)
