What is the maximum number of dogs you accept at a time?
Forty. We tend to have between twenty and thirty dogs per day.
How do you feed all those dogs?!
Carefully.
Actually, we feed them one at a time. So when one is eating, the others are out playing.
Do we bring our own food?
No, you bring your dog's food! It is best that dogs don't have temporary changes in diet.
Our dog is on a 'raw food' diet. Can you accommodate this?
Yes, we can accommodate a raw food diet, but for camp bookings of a week or less - as we have limited freezer space. We also have an additional daily charge for this diet. Please see our pricing page for this information.
Are the dogs always supervised?
Yes, always. From the moment they wake up, to the moment they go to bed, our staff are with them.
What about at night? Where do they sleep? Are they alone?
Three questions at once? Jeez!
At night, the dogs sleep in a fully restored 19th century barn. The barn is climate controlled, has windows, doors, lights, water, and of course – music! It is a VERY cushy environment. For those dogs who are crate trained and comfortable sleeping that way, we do have crates. The others are divided into groups in various rooms in the barn. Each room is equipped with an audio monitoring system, and someone is ALWAYS on the property. The dogs therefore, are never alone.
Is the dog’s play field fenced?
Yes, of course! What kind of a question was that?!
Do you have emergency Veterinary care nearby?
Yes. Our vet is minutes away from us, and is available 24 hours a day. Also – each one of our staff has been trained in Pet First Aid.
Do you provide television, couches, and other 'cushy' amenities?
Hmm. A strange question, but we'll answer it, since you asked!
At camp, we work very hard to provide a safe and secure environment which is FUN for the dogs. Dogs' days here at camp are spent with each other, interacting with our staff members, hiking, swimming, etc. We have found that dogs are happiest when they get to be... well...dogs!
Our 'camp' concept differs from a 'resort' concept. While the camp environment might be 'ruffin' it' compared to Fido's cushy bed at home, remember that when you went to camp, you were 'ruffin' it' too!
Rest assured, as you will see when you visit with your dog - camp is fun!
How far in advance do people generally book?
That really depends. For the various holidays (and long weekends), we’re often full weeks in advance. That also happens at times when there is no holiday at all. There are times though – that you could call just days in advance and we’d have the space available.
In other words: As soon as you know you’ll be away – call!
