Vaccinations . . . we have a protocol at Canine Country that we strictly adhere for the safety and health of your pets and everyone else.

We require:
Rabies
Bordetella
Distemper/Parvo - your vet may call it DHPP, DHLP, etc.

We require a copy of those vaccinations at least 48 hours prior to your pet's arrival. We wouldn't want you to arrive with something missing and have to turn you away.

This has been our policy for nearly 11 years. We have never had a pet leave sick and to our knowledge there have been no illnesses after their departure.

We often get calls for last minute boarding and are not always able to accommodate due to lack of vaccinations. We encourage everyone to keep a digital copy of your pet's vaccinations. We cannot accept a pet without the proper vaccinations.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone healthy.

Good morning! We have the A/C cranked and are prepared for the extreme temps this week. We use window units in our buildings. I made the decision because if one of the units fails, it is really easy to install a new one. I even keep extras on hand, just in case. I am often asked the question about our climate control so please rest assured everyone is enjoying A/C and belly rubs!

Sometimes we get feedback from other sources than Google. We so appreciate these words of love and encouragement. We love what we do!

"The true love that is shown to each and every animal and person is truly perfection. We love them all."

Good morning friends. In this age of digital everything, advertising has surely changed. I don't spend a lot of time out in the digital world so my means of advertising are very limited. Fortunately the majority of our business is from referrals and website searches. We currently enjoy a great rating out on Google but I need to ask friends and clients . . . if you have moment could share a word in a review? We strive to provide a safe, clean and fun environment for your pets. Could you share your experience? We appreciate each and every one of you. . . . Catherine

Sunday afternoon is a busy time out in the country. Clients picking up their babies. It is fun to watch them reunited. We even have a few that after greeting mom and dad decide they may want to stay a little longer. 😍 It's so hot outside. We are carefully supervising outside play time, the A/C is blasting and we are always here to love on your pups. Thank you for trusting us.

Good morning friends and clients. It was brought to my attention this morning that our website does not reflect our current pricing. This was changed back in April and I'm not sure how this error has existed. When you select "book now" it will take you to our reservation site which does reflect our current and correct pricing. We apologize for any confusion this may have created. We always wish that price increases weren't necessary but we appreciate your business and your understanding.

They're back! I was at Purina last year on July 4th and we had to miss our special treats. Thank you to all of our wonderful clients who entrusted your pets to us for this holiday. The AC is cranked up, treats have been dispensed and fingers crossed that our neighborhood stays fireworks free as usual.

Canine Country has a check-in process that helps us ensure that we return all of your pup's belongings. Looks like we may have slipped up one time or two. I have two very nice rope type leashes on my desk that I would love to return to the proper owner. We have not been able to identify who they might belong to. As far as we know no one has gone home without a leash but they're still here. If you're missing two leashes, exactly the same type, just let me know the color and I'll be happy to get them back to you.

Canine Country is hiring! I am looking for someone to work 20-25 hours per week. I need a versatile person who doesn't mind working inside and outside the kennels. A little yard mowing, w**d spraying, simple repairs around the property. The position also includes work as a kennel assistant, part time and includes morning and/or afternoon shifts. We are looking for a reliable worker to help provide the best care for our boarding friends. Duties from dog care to cleaning, feeding, bathing, interacting with clients, etc. Rewarding, not all that difficult, but is physically demanding and not very glamorous. Some work is outside regardless of the weather. Position requires a comfort level around dogs of all sizes and types. We will teach you to do the outside things. Preference will be given to experienced applicants. Please reply with a brief description of your skills and experience. Be sure to provide a method of contact, your phone number or email.
