Whether it is day one or day 20 for your dog, they will get the same love and attention from our staff. For this reason, we do not offer discounts on extended stays.
Yes, we will provide your dog's oral or topical medications at no extra charge unless your pet is extremely difficult to medicate which would require a veterinary technician. Please bring the medication in the original prescription bottle. This is required by law and provides useful information to our staff. Diabetic guests require a veterinary technician to administer injections at an additional charge.
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. You are always welcome to stop by The Retreat at Cottonwood.
If you would like to have us walk your dog on a leash, we will be happy to do so in the safety of our large enclosed outdoor yard. We have several different room service options for guests to enjoy!
Kennels vary, but in a "traditional" kennel, your dog is usually left in a cage most of the day and may be let out briefly or placed in an outdoor run a couple of times a day. The dogs usually do not interact with other dogs. All dogs are let out three times a day to roam the yard and go potty. Dogs who take advantage of daycare, are able to be out playing the majority of the day.
If your dog or cat becomes ill or is injured while at The Retreat at Cottonwood, we will have one of the veterinarians at Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic evaluate and treat your pet.
No. When we have visitors such as a new dog, or new person, the dogs often get very excited and you can hear and see this excitement. There is always playing and some barking going on, but the dogs settle down quite a bit once the new dog is introduced into the play areas and our human visitors either leave or are very quiet for a few minutes. Our frequent guests become very accustomed to our trainers and the other regulars at daycare and settle right into playing.
We strongly suggest bringing your pet's food from home. We will happily feed your dog or cat our food but it is best for them to not change foods rapidly. We will provide food and water dishes, bedding, and a comfy cot. If you wish to bring toys, bedding, or anything else that will help make your pet feel more at home, we can certainly accommodate this, but it is not necessary.
Yes. For overnight boarding, we definitely need a reservation. Depending on the time of year, we can often accommodate short notice or same day notice. Please be aware that Holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas book several months in advance and other holidays book several weeks in advance.
At The Retreat at Cottonwood, we prefer you bring your pet’s own food. This is best for the health and comfort of your pet. We will feed your pet the same quantity and frequency as you do at home.
Yes. As long as your dogs get along, we would recommend they stay together for their own comfort.
If you forget your pet’s food, that is no problem. We will be happy to feed our “house food” which is Royal Canin Gastrointestial low fat dry.
Of course. We will be glad to accommodate the needs of your pets. Just remember to make a note of this when checking into The Retreat.
Each dog gets outside at least three times a day (morning, noon, and night).
Yes. If your dog has had the temperament evaluation and enjoys other dogs, your dog can play in group daycare. If your dog would rather not play with other dogs, your dog can still enjoy time with staff out of his/her room. We have several room service options for you to choose!
