Non-Business Hours Fee: When we are closed to the public, departures and arrivals shall incur a $50.00 fee (per pet). In addition, if it is an after-hours check-out, you will be charged for that night’s stay. If your pet is receiving a service other than boarding and is not picked up  during our business hours, the pet will be checked into a Classic Boarding Suite and will incur a boarding fee along with any necessary feeding charges which will be due upon pick-up.

Rates & Holiday/Peak Season Minimum Stay: All rates and services are subject to availability and change. Canine Acres’ management reserves the right to separate pets boarding together if it determines any of the pets are uncomfortable, agitated or unsafe staying together. In such cases, individual rates will apply. We reserve the right to require a three-night minimum stay over holidays and peak seasons.

Feeding: Boarding pets will be served our house food at a charge of $1.50 per meal if personal food not supplied.

Grooming:  Extra charges will apply for any pet exhibiting difficult behavior, excessive matting and/or shedding, or wood ticks.  Any of these will be charged an extra staffing fee of $60.00 per hour in addition to the regular grooming rates. Any grooming that takes place on an elderly or unhealthy animal will be at the owner’s risk. Grooming may expose pre-existing health/skin conditions for which the Canine Acres, Inc. cannot be held liable.

Waiver of Liability & Medical Need: In the rare case of an emergency, health concern, or lack of required vaccinations, we will contact you. We shall administer aid and nonprescription treatments, as needed. If veterinarian attention is deemed necessary, we shall take your pet to a 24-hour veterinary emergency hospital and you will be charged a $50.00 transportation fee. By admitting your pet to Canine Acres,  you accept responsibility for any expenses resulting from  outside treatment required in the event of accidental injury, illness, or other symptoms that may arise during or after your pet’s stay with us. Please understand that despite Canine Acres, Inc.’s commitment to the highest standard of pet care and supervision and to facility design and cleanliness, accidental injury and illness may occur. Pet owners are solely responsible and liable for any and all actions of their pet during the stay at Canine Acres, Inc. including, and not limited to injury to another pet, a Canine Acres, Inc.’s staff member, or a member of the public.

All pets are boarded, or otherwise handled or cared for by us without liability on our part for loss or damage from disease, death, running away, theft, fire, injury to persons, other dogs or property by above listed animals or other unavoidable causes.
