Boarding

GUIDES CANINS 's kennel can accommodate up to 20 dogs. Our runs are 4 ft .by 6 ft .and offer access to five large, fenced yards. We undertake to care for your dog and treat him with consideration and respect according to his needs. We will ensure your dog's safety and well-being by providing him with a safe, sanitary, ventilated and climate-controlled environment. We will supervise your dog in an attentive, conscientious and competent manner.

Vaccination

Boarded dogs must be in good health and must have received their routine vaccinations as per the schedule discussed and agreed on with their veterinarian.

Our guest also need to be vaccinated against Kennel Cough (Bordetella) with a subcutaneous vaccine a minimum of 10 days before their stay with a booster every year OR with an intranasal vaccine a minimum of 10 days before their stay with a booster every 6 months.

We also strongly recommend that all our visitors be protected against fleas.

Meals

Your dog will be fed as needed based on his usual schedule, i.e. once, twice or three times daily or free fed. We will give him the food provided by you so as to avoid the problems associated with changing diet.

We will also administer any dietary supplements or prescription medication. If your dog eats raw meat, we ask that you prepare his meals in advance in individual portions. Your dog will be given a constant supply of bottled water.

Exercise

During his stay, your dog will enjoy a minimum of four (4) outings each day to stretch his legs and relieve himself.

Dogs with social skills will be let out together and will be able to play with their four-legged friends for a portion of the day, weather permitting.

Dogs who are more selective about their friends or who prefer human company over rambunctious encounters, such as small dogs or geriatric dogs, will enjoy daily walks on our trails.

What to bring?

Collar, leash
Usual food
Bed, blanket, cage if your dog prefers the privacy of his own home
Toys, bones or other personal items
Vaccination certificates


We'll provide the bowls, cookies and lots of hugs and kisses!

Price

Boarding is charged by the calendar day, regardless of what time your dog arrives or leaves.

The cost is $27.83/day + taxes for a total of $32. The first day is half price and the day of departure is full price.

We offer a 50% discount for a second dog belonging to the same family and staying in the same run.

This price applies to all visitors, small breeds and large, and includes special care such as the administration of medication, walks in the woods and playtimes.

Arrival, departure and visiting schedule

We are open from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. , 7 days a week, 365 days a year. However, you must make an appointment and set a time for your dog's arrival and departure and any visits you may make. Our course schedule and schedule for walking boarders in the woods and caring for them prevents us from serving you at any time day or night. Kindly respect your appointment times to avoid unnecessary delays!

our Service hours without appointments are:
8 :30 am - 5 :30 pm
9 :15 pm - 9 :30 pm


Additional services

During his stay, your dog can receive a nail clipping, daily brushings or full grooming. Charges for these services apply over and above the boarding fee.

You may also take advantage of his stay to have him trained in obedience or agility to put some variety into his exercise or introduce him to a new sport. A charge of $60/hour is added to the boarding fee for such activities. You could also have your dog spend extra quality time with a human (playing ball, extra walks) for $10/15 minutes.

We also offer a transportation service from your home to our centre at a cost of $1/km.

Cancellation policy

If a boarding booking is cancelled during the Holliday Season (December 20th to January 5th), Spring Break (end of February to mid March) during the Summer Vacation (June 20th to September 1st) or during any long weekends (Easter, Victoria Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving) without a 7 day notice, there will be a $60 penalty fee for the 1st dog and $30 for each of the other dog in the same family.

Vacation periods

During peak periods, i.e. the holiday season in December and summer vacation time, when the kennel is full or when reservations are for three days or less, dogs staying with us will be kept in large plastic crates, the kind used for transporting pets. These crates are 3 ft. x 4 ft. in size and can easily accommodate a Great Dane. They are set up in our training hall. The dogs using these crates are subject to the same meal times, walks and outdoor play sessions as those staying in our kennels. The price is the same as well. We can easily keep two small dogs from the same family together, however large dogs will have to be separated to ensure optimal comfort. You will be advised of the non-availability of kennel runs before being offered this option.
