Meals and Snacks
Meals are fed twice daily and the dogs receive a variety of healthy snacks throughout the day. We prefer you provide your dog’s regular diet as it helps avoid tummy upsets and diarrhea. Please pack enough for feeding each day, and include a couple extra meals worth. No need to pack a bowl, we have plenty. If you choose to let us provide the food, there will be an additional $5.00 per day fee. Special treats – we give treats daily, but if your pal is used to something special at home, feel free to pack it. Please no rawhides or sterilized bones, as they can present a choking hazard.
Bedding
We provide appropriate bedding, however, if you think your dog would be more comfortable with her favorite blanket, send it along. Please make sure the bedding is fully machine washable.
Veterinary Care
Whenever groups of dogs are interacting with each other, there is there is an increased chance of injury. We take every precaution possible to reduce this risk, but we cannot totally eliminate it. Scrapes, scratches and minor bites are typical of the type of injury a dog may incur. If the need arises for veterinary care, Waggin’ Tails Ranch will consult a qualified veterinarian of our choosing. Any and all fees associated with a veterinary visit will be added to your bill.
What to Pack for Your Dog
- Completed lodging packet

- Bedding (optional)
- Collar and Leash (no prong, choke or shock collars, please)
- Please leave your dog's toys at home (Kongs or other "stuffables" are okay), as we have plenty and we can't guarantee their safe return.
