New Pups

How do I make a reservation?

If you have a pup that is spayed or neutered, and is able to get along with other dogs, then the Palace is the right place for you!  Reservations can be made up to a year in advance and should be made as far in advance as possible. The 18 rooms at the Pooch Palace fill up quickly! Please email us as soon as you know you will be needing accommodations for your dog.

Prior to your dog coming to stay at the Palace for the first time, here are a few simple things to do:

• Schedule a complimentary pre-boarding visit so that you and your dog can come check things out and we can find out how best to meet your needs. Your dog will meet one of our "greeter" dogs, to see how they'll do with someone they've never met before. We usually schedule visits between noon and 2 pm, any day but Wednesday, and the visit usually lasts about a half hour. To schedule a visit please e-mail us at poochpalace@southslope.net.
• Fill out the Boarding Application, which will give us vital information about you and your dog. This application is available (below) as a PDF file for you to download and fill out prior to your visit. If you are unable to download an application, we will be happy to give you one at your pre-boarding visit.
• Please note that email is our preferred way to set up visits and reservations. We are often not by the phone so if you do call, please leave a voicemail and we will return your call as soon as possible.
• If you have an AOL or Yahoo email account, please check your spam folder. These providers have been putting our emails into spam. We typically respond to emails quickly.

What vaccinations and other health issues will need to be addressed prior to my dog staying at the Palace?

All dogs staying at the Palace must be current with the following vaccinations: rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella (kennel cough). It is recommended that bordetella vaccinations be administered at least ten days prior to boarding. In addition, each dog boarder will need to be on a flea/tick preventative. It is strongly recommended that older dogs over the age of 7 have a current health check-up from their veterinarian to help insure that there are no underlying health problems.

Certification must be provided that shows your dog is current with the vaccinations required to stay at the Palace.

While they are not required, we do suggested that your dog be up-to-date on their leptospirosis and lyme vaccinations as well for boarding.

What will it cost for my dog to stay at the Pooch Palace?
