To ensure your pup has a great time all participants are required to attend a Daycare Prep Day to ensure that your pup is able to acclimate. This day allows us to view your pups interactions and assess if they are able to stay for overnight care; Daycare Prep  is $40. 

Space is limited, we only take a few pups at a time, and we do not accept all pups: therefore your pups temperament, general social awareness, age, special needs and/or breeding will determine your fur-baby’s eligibility. Our facility is a unique, open environment and is not suitable for some dog personalities and/or temperaments; restriction may apply.

Each fur-baby will receive paperwork on their consultation day for them to fill out and bring completed packet back on their reserved drop-off day.

Your fur-baby is required to return both their paperwork as well as their proof of current vaccinations on their drop-off day. No exceptions.

To reserve your space, half of your trips duration is paid at your consultation, the remainder is paid at time of drop-off.

No credit is issued for canceled or altered trips.

We do require a minimum of 3 daycare prep days prior to your extended care plus one overnight stay of 2 days to properly prepare your pups for such a long stay. This ensures that your pup(s) realize that you are definatly coming back for them and prevents separation anxiety.

Deposit Credit

Deposit credit will sit as credit in a pups account for 24 months. After 24 months any unused credit will be forfeited from use for daycare or boarding care.

Absence from Boarding Care or Daycare Visitation 

Once a pup has cleared the initial Daycare prep day, your pup is able to attend care for both boarding and daycare upon reservation and availability. If you dog’s health changes or declines a new assessment (daycare prep day) will need to be established prior to boarding care. If you pup has not attended care (either daycare or boarding for more than 3 months) you dog will need to re-attend a Daycare Prep day in order to re-establish acceptance into the facilely and allow your pup to acclimate to the group. If you pup physical health declines and is no longer eligible to attend care all deposits made for daycare or boarding will be forfeit. It is the responsibility of the owner to re-establish honest and truthful health concerns to Team L.D.R. and owner to ensure safe care for all pups.

Your initial care packet is held on file for 5 years from the initial Daycare Prep Day. If you pup does not attend care within 5 years of the last care session (daycare or boarding) the files will be shredded and a new Daycare Prep Day assessment will be required to attend. This ensures that all pups coming to the L.D.R. are currently qualified per health and socialization ability within the pack at any given time.
