Reservations Are Required

Although we will always do our best to accommodate everyone’s needs, we recommend placing your reservations in advance. Advanced notice will help to ensure your dog’s reservation in the event that our daycare facility is at capacity to ensure a safe dog to staff ratio. As an added convenience, a regular daycare schedule can also be set up as a recurring reservation so we will always have your dog’s reservation set. To make a reservation you can call (705)-739-RUFF (7833) ore-mail us at [email protected]. 

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation notification is recommended to be made at least 24 hours prior to service. Notification after 10am the day of service will still accrue a full charge for services ($45.00). We understand that unforeseen circumstances do come up from time to time, however, because our daycare space is limited and we often have a cancellation list, we do ask that you inform us if your dog will be missing an appointment. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Vaccinations

We require that all daycare dogs be current on their Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Hepatitis, and Bordatella vaccinations. Vaccinations must be administered by a licensed veterinarian a minimum of 48 hours prior to Ruff Haus services being performed. Puppies must have their second set of vaccines along with Bordatella to attend daycare. Proof of vaccinations must be provided. Please be advised that vaccinations do expire, and our records will need to be updated periodically. In light of this, your dog may be asked not to return to daycare until vaccines have been updated and proof from a licensed veterinarian has been provided. No exceptions will be made; all vaccinations are required for each dog. We do not accept titre testing as proof of vaccination.

Parasites

We require that all daycare dogs be on a parasite prevention program prescribed by a licensed veterinarian, either monthly or seasonally (June –November). Please speak to your vet about which treatment is best for your dog. If at any time your pet is found to have fleas or ticks, we may provide appropriate flea or tick removal treatment at your additional expense, or we may terminate services until the problem is resolved so as not to transfer parasites to other clients.

Spaying and Neutering

We require that all dogs over the age of 6 months be spayed or neutered to attend our daycare. Puppies under the age of 6 months are permitted to attend daycare; however, we require that they be fixed once they turn 6 months of age. Please be advised that after turning 6 months, your puppy can not to return to daycare until he/she is fixed.

Pet Health/Behaviour and Safety

We reserve the right to refuse service to any pet for any reason including, without limitation, if it appears that the pet is sick, injured, in pain, or that its behaviour could jeopardize the health and safety of other pets or our staff. All dogs must be in good health. No coughing, sneezing, vomiting or diarrhea 48 hours prior to arrival. If your dog is displaying any of these symptoms while he/she is in our care you may be asked to come pick them up. If your dog has been treated for a contagious illness, we cannot accept your dog for at least 2 weeks AFTER treatment has been completed and/or two weeks after the last symptom or confirmation as been received in writing from your vet that your dog is in good health before your dog returns to daycare. We may accept pets and administer routine medications for chronic conditions, but we are not equipped to care for acutely sick pets. No pregnant dogs, no females in heat and no aggressive dogs. 

Please note that at times, we do use a gentle leader/halti to assist in calming.

All dogs must successfully complete a 1hour behaviour evaluation (free of charge) prior to their first day of daycare. 

***Ruff Haus will not tolerate unacceptable behaviour toward staff or other clientele. If unacceptable behaviour occurs, services will end immediately.
