What Your Dog
Needs to Stay With Us.

Clear, simple requirements that keep every guest at our luxury Shreveport boarding facility safe, healthy, and happy.

Vaccinations · Health · Behavior

Because every guest shares our facility, we keep a few standards in place to protect everyone — yours included. Below is everything your vet will need to confirm before your dog’s first stay, plus what to bring with you on drop-off day.

Required Vaccinations

Vaccines Every
Guest Must Have.

All vaccinations must be current and verified by a licensed veterinarian. Bring records to drop-off, or have your vet email them ahead of time.

Rabies

Required by Louisiana state law. Current 1-year or 3-year vaccine accepted.

DHLPP

Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza & Parvovirus combo vaccine.

Bordetella

Protects against kennel cough. Required annually — given at least 7 days before stay.

Canine Influenza

Annual booster required. Initial series is two shots given 2–4 weeks apart.

Health Requirements

Healthy Guests,
Safe Stays.

Beyond vaccinations, every dog must be in good general health and on active parasite prevention.

Active Flea & Tick Prevention

Your dog must be on a current flea and tick preventative — topical, oral, or collar. This protects every guest in our facility.

Recent Negative Parasite Screen

A negative fecal screening from a recent vet visit is required. This catches things flea/tick prevention can’t.

Good General Health

Only dogs in good health are eligible to board. If your dog has been recently sick or in recovery, please call before booking.

Friendly & Non-Aggressive

Guests must be comfortable with handlers and non-aggressive toward people and other dogs. Dogs with bite history aren’t a fit for our facility.

Important — Please Read

Dogs We
Can’t Accommodate.

For the safety of all guests, we’re not equipped for the following situations. Please call us if you have questions about your dog’s eligibility.

!
Puppies under 16 weeks of age Vaccination series isn’t complete yet, leaving them too vulnerable to share space with other dogs.
!
Dogs in post-operative recovery Open wounds, fresh stitches, or anything requiring active medical supervision is best handled at a veterinary boarding facility.
!
Pregnant dogs The stress of any new environment isn’t ideal during pregnancy.
!
Females in heat For the comfort and behavior of all guests, in-heat females must wait until their cycle has passed.
!
Dogs with bite history or aggression toward people or other dogs Our small facility relies on hands-on care from a single owner-operator — it’s not the right environment for guests with these challenges.
Drop-Off Day

What to Bring &
What’s Already Here.

Keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible — bring what they’re used to from home. We’ve got the rest covered.

Bring With You

What to Pack.

  • Their regular food — enough for the full stay plus one extra day, just in case.
  • Medications & supplements with clear written instructions for dosing and timing.
  • Vaccination records from your vet (or have your vet email them ahead of drop-off).
  • Personal items if you’d like — favorite toy, blanket, or anything that smells like home.
  • Emergency contact info — your travel itinerary and a backup contact who can authorize care.
Already Provided

What’s Included.

  • Plush bedding in every suite, professionally cleaned between guests.
  • Stainless steel food & water bowls on a wipeable mat.
  • Toy basket stocked with safe, sanitized chew toys and plushies.
  • Climate control year-round — heated in winter, cooled in summer.
  • Hands-on care from someone who actually knows your dog by name.
