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