SAFETY POLICY IN OUR DOG KENNELS- For the safety of your pet during their stay, we do not allow rawhide chews or anything deemed a choking hazard in the run with your pets. We do not leave collars, training collars, or harnesses on any pets while they are boarding with us. Flea collars and thunder shirts are allowed. All items left with your pet will be safely stored in a labelled cubby until parents pick up.

 

TICKS OR FLEAS- Pets found with ticks or fleas will be treated at the owner's expense. 

 

SICK PETS- If your pet has been coughing, sneezing, or running a fever we ask that you do not bring your pet into the kennel. Please call Kennel staff if you have a reservation and you are unsure of your dogs symptoms. For the safety of your pet and others we WILL NOT board sick pets. 

​

HOLIDAYS- The kennel will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. (Yes, your pet is still being cared for, but we are not open to the public for drop off or pick up.) For all other holidays, check Facebook And Google.

 

AFTER-HOURS PICK-UP- Depending on circumstances, we may be able to accommodate a request for after-hours pick-up if arrangements are made a minimum of 24 hours in advance. After-hours pick-ups must be limited to within one hour of closing. A $20.00 after-hours pick-up fee will be applied to your invoice due to last-minute drop-offs or pick-ups during the time we are closed. Please call ahead for arrangements.

 

OTHER CHARGES- There will be a cancellation fee of one night's stay for any reservations that are terminated less than 48 hours of the appointment. There will also be a minimum $10 extra charge per day for any dogs that require daily extra care (Daily accidents, high anxiety, causing stress to other guests, etc). Dogs that require a bath (E.G. if they come in dirty, and consistently have accidents in their kennel) will be bathed at the owner's expense. In an emergency, there will be a fee for transportation of the pet to the vet.

​

We accept as forms of payment: cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. We no longer accept American Express

Please Note:

Barnwell Oaks Kennels reserves the right to refuse boarding to any pet we feel may be disruptive to our other guests.  These may include but are not limited to, females in their heat cycle and non-stop barkers. Dogs showing aggression toward the staff may also be refused.  Unaltered male cats are also not accepted for boarding.  We attempt to reduce the stress placed on our guests and to do so, at times we do have to refuse certain pets.
