Question 1

Are Vaccines Required?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We require Bordetella, Rabies, and some form of Distemper combination vaccine (DA2PP, DAPP, DHPP, or DHLPP).

Question 2

Are Flea/Tick/Parasite Medications A Requirement?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we require all dogs to be on flea/tick and internal parasite prevention. This promotes a healthy and safe environment for all our guests.

Question 3

Are there behavior requirements for my dog to stay at Mountain Paws?

Accepted Answer

We do not accept aggressive dogs for either daycare or boarding.

Daycare:
To be a part of Daycare, your dog must enjoy being in a pack setting, able to take instruction from our pack leaders, and able to understand pack social queues from other daycare guests. We assess energy and play styles to make the best fit possible for all our guests.

Dogs that prefer a less social experience are fine (so long as their behavior does not create an unsafe environment for other guests). For guests that prefer the company of humans over other dogs, we do offer Day Boarding.

The goal is for everyone to have their individual needs met, to feel safe, and to have an enjoyable experience.

Boarding:
For boarding, we accept guests of all shapes, sizes, needs, and temperaments; except aggressive dogs. If your dog does not accept direction from staff, acts aggressively towards other guests, or otherwise is creating an unsafe situation through their behavior, we reserve the right the deny services to them.

Question 4

Does my dog need to be spayed or neutered?

Accepted Answer

For Daycare:
Males MUST be neutered if 8 months or older. 
Females MUST be spayed if 6 months or older.

For Boarding:
Males may be intact, but MUST take direction from staff or they may be denied services. 
Females MUST be spayed if 6 months or older.
