SIGNATURE DOG SERVICES

SIGNATURE IN-HOME BOARDING (IN MY HOME)

Pricing: $42 a day; $37 a day (after 7 days) May include complimentary pick up & drop off of your dog, if you are within a 6km radius of 24th &140th area. Two night minimum stay may be required.

This very special in-home boarding service (check out the on-line gallery for photos of some of the recent guests) is only available for VERY well behaved dogs who are at least one year of age, fully housetrained, non-aggressive, disease free, extremely well socialized around all sizes of dogs, non-destructive and who do not suffer from separation anxiety. This is not an on-site kennel or a house that keeps dogs in a special room but a loving, comfortable, environmentally friendly (only green products are ever used) and safe home with a fully fenced and 100% chemical free back yard that is very close to excellent trails and great parks. Your dog would stay with my family and my two dogs and share in all our regular dog activities like dog walks and hikes. If you would like services such as, nail trimming, daily brushing, ear and eye cleaning or a doggy wash using organic shampoos - please ask about these services at the time of your booking. Only two dogs at a time are accepted for this in-home dog boarding service to ensure the very best care and attention is provided - so you can relax on your vacation or business trip.

If you are not sure this service is right for your dog or puppy - please ask as all dogs and puppies are accepted on a case-by-case basis and we will do our very best to accommodate you whenever possible - providing the above criteria is met.

SIGNATURE DOG DAY CARE (IN MY HOME)

Pricing: $32 a day (sold out until further notice)

Does your dog need interaction with a well socialized dog? And a busy and unsupervised doggie day care is just out of the question - then this service may be for you and your dog. This dog day care service focuses on socialization, on-leash dog walks, positive canine behaviour, reinforcing simple obedience commands and good house manners. And of course, all good behaviour is rewarded with love, affection and play. Only two dogs accepted per day. This is also a great option for senior dogs who find regular doggie day care too active and stressful. This service will provide you with the peace of mind of knowing exactly who is supervising your dog and that he is receiving positive human guidance and experienced leadership at all times. Not like a crowded doggie day care centre where he can easily adopt negative behaviours, such as pack mentality, and where there are usually many dogs and limited supervision.

This exclusive dog day care service is available for well behaved dogs who are at least one year of age, fully housetrained, non-aggressive, disease free, extremely well socialized around all sizes of dogs, non-destructive and who do not suffer from separation anxiety.

RECOMMENDED SIGNATURE DOG SERVICE REQUIREMENTS:

1. Annual Distemper combo or titer test results; 2. Annual Bordatella vaccine for kennel cough and flea/parasite control program; 3. Rabies vaccine; 4. Basic leash manners; 5. Current dog license.

Vaccines are required to help prevent our pets from getting serious and sometimes fatal diseases. It is, however, very important that we do not over-vaccinate our pets. So with that in mind, my above policy where I recommend all vaccines are either current or titer test results indicate vaccination is currently not required is simply that - just my recommendation. If you are a pet owner whose veterinarian advises a more conservative and holistic approach to vaccines - we can certainly discuss this further at our initial consultation.

If your dog is currently receiving medication or supplementation, please advise at time of booking as a small additional fee may be charged for regular administration of medication.

Signature Pet Services reserves the right to refuse a dog that is anti-social, intact, in heat, ill or injured who may cause harm to other pets or the public.
