- Temperament Test – All dogs will need to pass a temperament test.

- Flea Prevention – All dogs must be flea free and on a flea prevention program. Dogs will be checked and bathed for fleas, if necessary, the owner will be charged for this service.

We just need a little paperwork — don’t worry, it doesn’t take long. You can download them here or pick them up at The Grooming Room Pet Hotel front desk. We ask that you provide current vaccination records and completed forms prior to your dog’s stay.
We require a veterinarian certificate indicating proof of vaccination for Rabies, DLPP, and Bordetella. We recommend the Bordetella vaccination be administered every 6 months or yearly, within the year is required. If the Bordetella vaccine has never been given, or if it has expired, a 72-hour waiting period is required after the administration.

Guests who attend daycare will require a brief temperament evaluation — think of it as a simple “meet and greet.” This ensures the safety of all our guests. Temperament evaluations must be scheduled in advance, just give us a call to let us know you’re coming in. We want to ensure that we have adequate time to get to know your pooch.
Our 72 Hour policy ensures that guests with little or no immunity have not been exposed accidentally and infected with an illness while visiting their veterinarian to get vaccinated. While it may seem a little strict, we prefer to error on caution when it comes to the safety of our guests.
Of course, and we encourage it, as many dogs are sensitive to sudden dietary changes, we find that it’s best to provide their regular food. By request, we can prepare specialized meals, including cooking or thawing if required. In particular cases, a $5 daily fee may apply.
If you forget your dog’s food, we use Blue Buffalo as our house food, which is charged at $2 per meal.
