Getting Started
If you live in the Houston area and you're ready to get started, call us at (713) 658-0900 or complete and fax to us the pooch personality form prior to the day you need to drop your pet off. On occasion, we may request that your pet make a short visit to our facility prior to their first lodging stay. Each dog has a unique personality and based on information provided in the dog profile, we may require this to ensure our facility can safely lodge your dog and that they will be 100% comfortable during their stay. After your first visit, all we need at check-in is for you to review the activities and feeding instructions, provide any vaccination updates, and your Healthy Pet Guarantee choice.
