🐾 Packing for Alpine Kennels 🐾

Helping your best friend feel right at home while you’re away.

✅ THE ESSENTIALS

• Individual Meal Bags: Pre-portion food into Ziploc bags (one per meal). This ensures your dog stays on their regular schedule!
• Vaccination Records: Proof of Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella.
• Medications: For maximum accuracy and safety, we require all medications to be provided in a clearly labeled daily pill organizer.
• Emergency Info: Your phone number and a local backup contact.

🏠 COMFORT & CALM

• Something That Smells Like You: An unwashed T-shirt or pillowcase provides a huge sense of security.
• A Familiar Bed: If your dog has a favorite (washable) bed or blanket, feel free to bring it.
• Safe Toys: 1–2 durable toys (Kongs or Nylabones are great). Please avoid toys that are easily shredded.

🛡️ HEALTH & SAFETY

• Collar & ID Tags: Ensure tags are up-to-date with your current info.
• Lead/Leash: For safe transitions during check-in and check-out.
• Flea & Tick Update: Please ensure your pup is current on their preventatives.

💡 QUICK TIPS FOR A HAPPY STAY

1. Label Everything: Use a permanent marker to put your dog’s name on all belongings.
2. Special Needs: If your dog has allergies or “quirks” (like being afraid of thunder), please jot them down for our staff!
3. The Quick Goodbye: Short, happy departures help your dog settle in much faster than long, emotional ones.
