(FAQ's)
Every dog in
our care is housed in a crate reserved for his use. This helps
keep up housebreaking routines and keep the facility sparkling
clean since dogs are taken out for walks for elimination.
We keep the dogs quiet and this, when added to play and exercise
times, ensures that they remain calm and eat and sleep well.
Your dog will never be left alone. There is a staff member
on duty 24 hours a day without exception. He will get 5 walks
each day and play with other dogs or human dog lovers, whichever
he prefers, at least twice each day.
We will feed him the food you bring for him and follow any
special dietary requests you may have including feeding natural
or raw foods. All drinking water for the dogs is filtered.
Any medications required will be administered at no extra
charge.
We also have pick-up and delivery service
available. Fees vary depending on distance so please ask us
about this service when you reserve.

Frequently
Asked Questions (Boarding):
Why can’t I always reach you by
phone?
We have trained staff on duty 24 hours/day, but they do not answer
the phone. Their only concern is the care of the dogs. Lise and
Elizabeth (owners of Blue Ribbon) are the only people who answer
or return calls made to the Centre. Answering calls during normal
office hours is usually not a problem. Evenings and weekends are
a different story. The owners are often teaching classes in the
evenings, and weekends are reserved for special doggie events or
some rare and precious personal time. We will be happy to return
all phone calls as soon as we can, so please leave us a message.
What are your opening hours?
Our hours for check-in and check-out are between 7 am and 8 pm every
day, including weekends and holidays. Even though a staff member
is on location 24 hours a day, there has to be a curfew so the dogs
can settle down for the night. We ask all our customers that dogs
not check in or out outside those hours.
Why do you need my credit card number
when I reserve?
Our trained staff is very busy taking care of the dogs so it is
easier for everyone if your dog’s reservation, invoicing and
payments are taken care of ahead of time. Also, should there be
any added expenses such as grooming, medical attention or an extended
stay, all charges can be billed to your credit card with no extra
fuss.
Why was I charged for an extra night
of boarding?
The boarding is run like a hotel; check-out time is 11 am. If your
dog checked out after 11 am, you will be charged for an additional
day. The staff must have time to disinfect and prepare any vacated
enclosures for the next occupant’s arrival.
Why is there a $50 cancellation fee if
I cancel less than two weeks before the reservation date?
There are two reasons for our cancellation fee. 1 – Preparations
for your dog’s stay begin the moment you make his reservation:
your dog’s enclosure is selected, a personal chart is prepared
for his daily activities, the invoicing is started. All the information
is entered into a special computer program as well as into a written
log. 2 – If you are canceling that close to the reservation
date, chances are we had to turn someone away because we had no
more room. It would simply be bad for business not to charge for
late cancellations.
I picked my dog up one day early.
Why didn’t I get a refund?
We can only give refunds if we are advised of a change in the reservation
at least 48 hours before check-in. Last minute changes do not allow
us to fill the empty spaces left by a dog’s late arrival or
early pick-up.
