K-9 Boarding and Pet Sitting Services you can contact us directly at kmckien@attglobal.net
McKienzie Farm offers K-9 Vacation Boarding for dogs of all breeds and sizes. We are a small private and personalized facility that caters to the needs of our K-9 visitors. We offer several different boarding options to owners based on their pet's individual requirements Housing Options Option #1: House Dog The house dog boarding option is the ideal arrangement for dogs who are used to living inside with their families. This service is limited to 1 client per time so booking well in advance is encouraged. The client may have up to 3 dogs stay with us in our home as long as all 3 dogs get along and are house broken. Each dog is taken for leashed walks 2-4 times per day based on individual requirements. We ask the owner to let us know what their home "house rules" are for their dog so that we may maintain the same structure here. This is to prevent unwanted habits from developing in the owner's absence. If you don't want them on furniture or the bed, we won't allow it either. If you do, well, than your dog/s will be sitting on the couch watching Animal Planet and the Dog Whisperer with me. :o)
Option #2: Dog house and Play yard The dog house and play yard option is the best choice for dogs who are used to living in a kennel, fenced yard or run. Constructed of 9 gauge chain link and electric fence (to prevent digging) the kennels are highly secure. Each yard contains an 8ft x 12 ft dog house and a 20ft x 20ft play yard complete with puppy pool. Owners are welcome to bring their dog's favorite toys and blankets to make them feel more at home.
Option #3: Crated Critters The Crated Critter route is the best option for dogs who are crate trained and used to being in a crate while their parents' are away (either at work or play). Dogs who have been properly crate trained feel the most relaxed and secure when safely in a crate. If this is your pet's first time away from home or the family, this is the best and safest option for the first experience. Each crated dog is in a large enough crate to stand up, lay down, and stretch out comfortably. They are taken on 3-4 walks per day so get plenty of TLC and one on one attention each day. Owners may bring their dog's favorite blanket/pillow and toys to make them feel even more at home
Feeding Many boarding facilities feed everyone the same feed. Because we know how important and individual diets are for each canine, we do not provide a "on size fits all" feeding program. Instead, we ask each owner to bring their own dog's food and medications (if any). This eliminates the worries of food allergy reactions and upset stomachs that occurs for many dogs when their diet is abruptly changed. We will insure that they are fed the proper amounts to maintain (or create) a healthy and ideal weight. Because we operate on a small scale we are able to do this.
Canine Requirements All dogs who vacation at McKienzie Farm must meet the following requirements: * must be current on all vaccinations including Parvo, Distemper, Rabies, Parainfluenza, Leptospirosis, Corona Virus etc. (proof by way of veterinary receipt required) * must be current on Bordatella vaccination * must be flea free and on a current flea preventative program (Advantix, Advantage, Frontline, Sentinel etc) *must be on a monthly Heartworm preventative (Heartgaurd, Interceptor, Sentinel etc) *must be able to walk on a leash, crate trained, and not aggressive towards humans
