would like to welcome you and
your dog and cat to Best Friends Pet Resort.
Best Friends is committed to excellence
in providing a fun and worry-free
experience for both you and your pet. Our highly trained and caring
staff
prides itself in offering your pet an opportunity to work out in our
spacious
exercise yards, relax on soft beds in our clean guest rooms, and enjoy
lots of human attention.
Dogs are exercised 3-4 times a day, enjoy
mid-afternoon and bedtime
snacks, and misters on hot California days. Extra pampering is offered
with special activities that can include group playtime with
friendly,
like-minded canines under staff supervision; one-on-one personal
attention
and playtime; and wading pools in the guest rooms.
Cats are offered special pet & purr
sessions, plus free supervised
exercise in the cat room.
For all pets on the premises, proof from
your vet of current vaccinations
is required. We accept the program that you and your veterinarian
determine
is right for your pet. Any exceptions to the requirements must be in
writing
on your veterinarian's letterhead.

FAQs
I
have never left my pet
at a pet vacation resort. What should I expect?
It is normal to be
worried about leaving your
family member. We are part of the hospitality service industry
and,
therefore, you should expect loving, secure and attentive care of your
pet. If you have special needs or concerns, please let us know, and we
will do our best to give you and your pet awesome service.
What
vaccinations do I need?
To maintain a healthy
facility for your pet,
we require proof of current vaccinations from your vet. We follow the
protocol
recommeded by UC-Davis, but we will accept also the program that you
and
your veterinarian determine is right for your pet. For dogs, we need
rabies,
DA2PP or DHPP and Bordetella. For cats, we need rabies and FVRCP. If
you
give your own vaccinations, we will accept a statement on letterhead
from
your veterinarian acknowledging that you give your own vaccinations and
are a regular client in their pet wellness program.
Can
you give medications?
We can give simple
medications up to twice
daily at no extra charge. After that or for more complicated
treatments,
we charge $1 per dose/treatment.
What
is your policy on fleas,
ticks and other pests?
We work to balance the
maintenance of a healthy
and clean facility for our guests with our impact on the natural
environment.
We suggest that you use a parasite prevention program for your pet to
help
us minimize the use of toxic sprays and chemicals. If we find
fleas
or ticks on your pet, we will use Frontline or Capstar, and charge you
for the product.
Can
I bring my own food?
Yes. You can bring
yours (please package for
easy serving) or use ours. We feed IAMS and Eukanuba.
Can
I bring treats and toys?
Yes, if you would
like. Bring treats, toys
and washable bedding to help make your dog and cat comfortable. Please
limit the toys to 2.
My
dog sometimes gets sick
after being boarded. What can I do to prevent this?
In the excitement of
arriving or departing,
some dogs experience upset stomachs. It is important to feed your dog
sparingly
before leaving home and waiting at least 2 hours after it arrives home
from its vacation to allow it to settle down. If it has been panting
from
excitement or the weather is hot, give a little water at a time to make
the transition easier.
