Food and treat questions
House food is free: grain-free dry kibble and wet food for dogs, and pate plus chicken-and-rice kibble for cats. You can also bring your own food at no charge, in its original bag.

What boarders eat, how to pack special diets, and what happens when a first-timer skips a meal.
House food
What do dogs eat at the kennel?
Grain-free dry kibble and a wet or canned food, either or both. Farm-fresh eggs, hot dogs and dog treats are also on hand.
What do cats eat?
Canned pate and a chicken-and-rice kibble.
Does the house food cost extra?
No. Rates are all inclusive, with no charge for special feedings.
Bringing your own
Can I bring my pet's food?
Yes, at no charge. Bring enough for the whole stay plus a little extra, in the original bag.
Do I need to pre-portion meals?
No. Write the amounts in cups, teaspoons or tablespoons on the agreement or a note, and the staff do the rest.
What about allergies or a special diet?
Tell the staff when you drop off and list them on the pet information page of the boarding agreement. Bring the diet your pet is on.
Can I bring a slow-feeder bowl?
Yes, if your pet uses one. Bowls are provided for everyone else.
Appetite
What if my pet will not eat?
First-time boarders sometimes skip a meal or two. If a pet keeps refusing, the staff offer enticing treats such as hot dogs.
Are there treats to buy?
Yes. A Happy Pup Cup and a Happy Lick Mat (peanut butter or cheese) are $4.99 each, and a Happy Pupsicle, a frozen bell pepper treat in beef or chicken, is $7.99, on the 2026 rates.
Feeding times
Can feeding times follow my routine?
Yes. The agreement asks for feeding times and amounts for each pet, and the staff follow them.
Do I pay more for medication with meals?
No. Medications given with food are included.
What if my pet has a food allergy?
Write it on the pet information page of the boarding agreement and tell the staff at drop-off. Bring the food your pet normally eats, in the original bag.
Can my pet have a treat from home?
Ask the staff first. The house treats are free, and any treat you bring should be named on the agreement along with the amount.
