WINTER at houndaway!

The weather outside may be frightful, but at HoundAway it's always delightful! Planning a Holiday Season getaway or a trip to warmer climates this winter? Don't forget boarding at HoundAway! We're getting busy with boarding requests, in addition to our popular daycare program, so make sure to book early!

Looking for a temperament assessment for a new guest? We're currently booking four to six weeks ahead, but we will try to accommodate you the best we can if your need for daycare or boarding is urgent. Give us a call to discuss your options.
​
When you make your boarding and daycare arrangements, check to ensure that your pup is up to date on their vaccinations - rabies, distemper and either bordetella or kennel cough! Check with your veterinarian to make sure they are up to date - we require updated vaccination certificates for all our clients in order to provide boarding and daycare services.

Don't forget your pet's grooming needs! HoundAway's Grooming Referral Program started last year, and grooming with us is better than ever!  Refer a friend's dog to us for grooming and both you and your friend will receive 10% off your dogs' next grooming at HoundAway! Make sure you ask us about the referral program the next time you're at the store! But act fast - openings for yuletide groomings are going fast!

Daycare, boarding, grooming and retail - all on order at HoundAway!

All the best,
​Neil and Dina

​FIRST TIME GUESTS
​

HoundAway requires a Temperament Assessment be completed for first time daycare and boarding guests to ensure that they will enjoy our very social environment and not go home with destructive behaviours. This four-hour evaluation also gives the dog a chance to meet and get to know our team and facility and make friends prior to their first daycare or boarding experience with us.
​

Before you arrive for your Temperament Assessment we ask that you complete our form packages for either daycare or boarding. There is a link below where you can access these packages. Once completed they can be brought in on the assessment day or emailed directly to us at info@houndaway.com beforehand, along with a copy of your dog's vaccination history.

The Temperament Evaluation is $30 (plus HST). Your dog can spend more than the four-hour minimum with us if you prefer, at no additional charge.  

If your dog is not comfortable or does not do well in our very social environment, you will not be charged for the assessment. 

​
Every new guest must be at least four months of age and have completed their Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Distemper and Rabies vaccinations.  Guests must stay up to date on their vaccinations in order to continue with our daycare or boarding programs. We also require that all our guests be spayed or neutered by their first birthday.  Any female in heat is not permitted on the premises, for their  safety as well as for the safety of our other guests and employees.

Great service is not just about smiling faces. It's about providing the best product, offering a consistent process and caring about how we treat each dog every day.  When you entrust your dog with HoundAway, they will enjoy all the comforts of home - and more!
