Q. Would my pet be better off boarding at my
vet's office?
A. If your pet is sick or in need of
specialized medical care, then perhaps your vet would be the better choice.
But if your pet is healthy, why board in a hospital environment with little
to no exercise and cages? We provide your pet with
oversized indoor and indoor/outdoor A/C runs, supervised playtime, private walks,
treats and lots of attention. Doesn't your pet deserve a vacation,
too?
Q.
What about my pet's special diet?
A. We serve Hill's
Science Diet Sensitive Stomach, but you are always welcome to bring your pet's
food from home. We even have microwaves and refrigerators to
accommodate very special appetite needs.
Q.
Will my pet be left alone the entire time?
A. Group playtime is
an excellent way to socialize your pet with others, and pets that go out and
exercise while boarding are known to rest better, eat better, and sleep
better at night. Each newcomer is given a temperament test to assess
which group he or she will be best suited for. Most groups are divided
by small, medium and large sized dogs, but occasionally we come across a
smaller dog who gets along much better with the larger sized group. If
your pet would enjoy a more personalized touch, private walks may be just
the thing. Besides, with our incredibly attentive staff, who has time
to be alone?
Q. My pet is never around other dogs.
Should I even try the Dog Park?
A. Don't forget, dogs
are pack animals by nature. Although they are frequently protective of
their home environment and their owners, once in a group atmosphere, almost
all dogs enjoy park playtime. If for some reason your pet is not
enjoying the group, whether it be because of aggressive behavior or simply
not having fun, your pet will be switched to private walks. Park
playtime is so much fun, your pet may surprise you.
Q. My pet is an indoor pet. Do I really
need to apply flea & tick prevention?
A. Always protect your pet from fleas
and ticks when boarding. All of our buildings, as well as our
parks, are on a strict schedule for pest control. But if another pet comes into the facility with a flea or tick, you want to know that
your pet is protected. If you do not routinely use a prevention at home,
Frontline/Top Spot may be provided for you at a very low cost.
Q. What if my dog will only go to the bathroom
on grass?
A. You would be
surprised. Only on a rare occasion will we come across a pet that
refuses to go in the run. If that occurs, we will switch your pet to
the Fitness Package, which includes three walks each day. If you anticipate this beforehand, you may want
to order the Fitness Package just in case.
Q. My pet is on medication. Is
that a problem?
A. Pompano Pet Lodge is always prepared to
administer medications during your pet's stay. Always provide detailed
instructions and let us know specifically what condition the medications are
for. Remember, your pet may not eat according to his or her regular
schedule, and sometimes food gets spilled over in a run. So, let us
administer any necessary medications to be certain they have been taken
rather than adding them to your pet's prepackaged food. |
