Geriatric or Aggressive

We are one of the few facilities equipped with the staff to care for Geriatric and Aggressive pets.  Because these clients require considerable more resources, time, and often special care from our Management there will be an additional $10.00 per day charge.  The guidelines to indicate if your pet is subject to this charge include, but are not limited to, the following:

Geriatric pet:
  1. Limited Mobility.  If your pet cannot get up, or has extreme difficulty getting up, under his/her own power.  These pets need to be taken out 3+ times a day to relieve themselves and to keep them from losing all mobility.
  2. Incontinence.  If your pet is incontinent or refuses to potty on concrete we must provide them with extra potty breaks as well as clean up baths as often as necessary.  Depending on the severity of the Bathing/Grooming services required there may be additional charges.  Be sure to ask at check in if you feel this may be a concern.
Aggressive pet:
  1. Fearful Aggression.  We are very considerate and capable of providing care for fearful pets/fear biters.  Many just need to adjust to our routine and learn quickly that we are friends and not to be feared.  However if our staff is unable to handle your pet due to fear of injury, only Management will handle this pet.
  2. Dominant Aggression. 
If your pet shows overt aggression to out staff members only Management will handle them.  When providing care for these pets we take extra precautions to insure the health and safety of both our staff and the pet.If you feel that your pet falls into any of these criteria please let us know when you make the reservation and at your pets check in.  If you are unsure if your pet would fall into any of these categories please ask to speak to a Manager.
