We believe that boarding should be much more than "warehousing" pets, so our daily rate includes not just food and sleeping quarters, but also the costs associated with interacting with your pet throughout the day - bringing them outside 7 times per day, finding compatible canine friends, etc. - in order to provide a fun, stimulating and safe vacation! Meals and a complimentary bath (with 3 night stay) are also included! Pets DO NOT sit alone in cages all day at Little River!

When not out playing in the yards, guest have an individual indoor sleeping area and access to an individual outside run.

At the Little River Pet Resort, people and pets always have a great time! One of the issues that we take very seriously, however, is our vaccination policy. No amount of precaution and care can guarantee the prevention of communicable diseases, but in order to minimize the risk of your pet being exposed to anything contagious any pet that visits the resort (whether for an hour or a month) must be current on the following vaccinations.

Rabies – Written vet documentation must include expiration date as well as date administered.

Bordetella – This vaccination (against Canine Cough) might not normally be given unless your vet knows that your pet will be boarding. Please be sure that you request this vaccination. It is good for one year (although new information suggests six month vaccinations might provide better protection for pets that are frequently around other pets). Since pets are at greater risk of contracting bordetella or having a reaction immediately after receiving the vaccination, it must be administered at least ONE WEEK PRIOR to your scheduled stay at the resort. This vaccination can be administered via a shot, or as an intranasal spray. For more information on Bordetella, click here.

DHLPP – This combination shot is generally good for one year although some manufacturers are producing three year vaccinations. If your DHLPP is for three years, the documentation from your vet must explicitly indicate that fact.

FECAL TEST - In addition to the above vaccinations, all pets staying at the resort must have a recent fecal test. A negative stool sample check is acceptable if it occurred in the six months prior to checking in. Documentation from your vet must indicate the results of the test. If the test was positive for parasites – your pet must be treated and another fecal test performed (with a negative result) at the completion of treatment.

If you check-in without documentation of a current fecal test, one WILL be performed at the resort for a charge of $19.00. However, your pet will not be socialized until we receive a negative result and a $5 per day "scooping" fee will be assessed until we receive a negative result (usually one day). Please be sure your pet's fecal test is current!

FLEA AND TICK PREVENTION
Since we are located in a rural setting, we SRONGLY recommend that your pet be on a flea and tick preventative when staying at the resort. We check all incoming guests for fleas before check-in. If we find evidence of fleas at check-in or at any time during their stay, pets will be given a flea bath for a charge ranging from $20.00 to $40.00.

For the protection of your pet, these requirements are non-negotiable and no exceptions can be made. If you have any doubt, or do not have a copy of your current vaccinations, contact your vet and ask them to send a copy to you in advance of your scheduled stay. These records MUST be presented during or prior to check-in.
