Each Ranch guest eats and sleeps in a private suite with a comfortable, raised bed when not out playing with friends. Feel free to bring your little Pawtner’s favorite toys, bedding, treats, and/or food. Don't worry if you forget their food, we can feed them ours (charges may apply). You are welcome to bring any special bowls that you wish, but we have plenty of our own too. Dogs of the same family who reside together normally are allowed to stay together as long as they can eat and sleep together without difficulty.

Chowtime

We take meal times very seriously around the Ranch. Every dog is fed in their personal suite (no food allowed in the group environment), followed by an hour of rest. We monitor all boarders to make sure they are eating well. There are those dogs that find boarding stressful at first. In those cases, we provide incentives such as adding wet food, Magic Dust (freeze-dried beef liver), chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, or some other tasty addition to their food. We have also been known to sit with and hand-feed those that are having a particularly hard time. 

​

Water is provided at all times, including in day play. We sanitize each bowl after use.  Mid-day Milk-bones and bedtime snacks are included in their stay with us, but you are welcome to send along your dog's favorite treats.

 

 

Downtime​

While most dogs staying with us enjoy lots of social time, they do tend to get tired. We build in downtime for your little Pawtner, allowing them to take a breather from all the excitement of day care. Most dogs are used to lots of rest at home and all-day excitement can be quite a change! We monitor all dogs for signs of exhaustion, stress, anxiety, and depression and adjust their amount of play time, alone time, one-on-one time (with a Ranchhand) accordingly. Individual walks, chew toys, extra cuddling or individual play time are some of the tools we use to induce relaxation.
