Because our overnight accommodations include all the amenities of Enhanced Day Care, preparing your pup for an overnight stay at Lucky & Lady® is much the same as preparing for Enhanced Day Care. There are a few additional things you can do to ensure both you and your pet have the best, most relaxing time while you’re apart.
Prepare for your arrival
Because your pet will be automatically enrolled in Enhanced Day Care during his or her stay (at no additional charge), a temperament test is essential. We’ll ensure your pet is a perfect fit for us and you’ll have the peace of mind you need. You’ll be assured your pet will be cared for in the safest, most technologically advanced and modern environment possible. We recommend scheduling a tour so you can see our top-notch facility for yourself.
Our client portal makes sharing health, wellness and allergy information a snap. You can upload vaccination records (required), provide veterinarian information and additional contacts – perfect if you’re traveling and encounter any delays. To see what vaccinations are required visit our FAQ.
Our Beyond Boarding service does not include “crates.” Pets are housed overnight in suites or enclosures engineered specifically for pets and built to spec for Lucky & Lady®. Yet, crate training at home for just a few hours several times a week can help get your pup accustomed to spending a little time alone and feeling good about it. While Lucky & Lady® is staffed 24/7/365 and pets are never left alone, overnight slumber occurs in a safe, quiet and separated environment.
When you arrive
Nothing can upset a pet’s stomach more than an abrupt change of food. It’s always best to bring along the food your pet normally eats. Indicate the typical feeding times and amounts in our client portal or let a Lucky & Lady® concierge know. If you forget, we’ll have premium house food available.
Keeping your pet current on any medications or supplements is essential. You can provide this information in the client portal. Lucky & Lady® does not charge for administration of oral medications and supplements, but you must provide them. If your pet requires other forms of medication, such as a subcutaneous injection, speak with a concierge before your stay so we can confirm staffing and capabilities.
Even though your pet may not snuggle with that old blanket or chew on that favorite toy, just knowing it’s there will be of comfort. The scent of “home” will provide positive reassurance to even the most outgoing and self-assured dogs. (For a list of prohibited items, see our FAQ.)
Pets in Beyond Boarding will be automatically enrolled in Enhanced Day Care at no additional charge. For the safety of all pets in our extraordinary care, we only allow break-away or clasped collars. These are the fairly common collars most pet parents use. They’re easily removable and washable. We don’t permit leather or buckled (think of a person’s belt) collars in Enhanced Day Care.
