• Doggie Daycare while boarding: If you elect for the Stay & Play package, your dog must adhere to all the Daycare Policies, including The Collar Policy: All daycare dogs must wear a flat collar. This collar must be identified with their name either by means of a tag or the name embroidered directly on the collar. All daycare dogs must wear a collar with identification- there are no exceptions. If your dog arrives without identification on their collar, a tag must be purchased from Ak9C for a $10.00 fee. We do not allow choke, martingale, chain, electronic, flea/tick or pinch collars for boarding or daycare dogs.
• Health: Any pet entering the AK9C facility MUST be free of external & internal parasites, use of MONTHLY Topical or Oral Flea/Tick preventative (Frontline, Vectra, Trifexis or Advantix) IS MANDATORY &  a fecal exam every other year is recommended. Flea/Tick Collars are NOT allowed. Any pet found to have fleas while in our care (doggie daycare or boarding) shall be immediately bathed with flea shampoo (at owner’s cost) & then quarantined until the owner can pick-up. Upon pick up, the pet owner will be charged a Parasite fee of $75.00- This fee covers the flea bath & disinfection of all facility areas their pet came in contact with that now must be flea treated. If a pet is found to have parasitic worms (tape, round, hook, giardia etc), that pet shall be immediately quarantined & the pet owner must pickup their pet immediately. Upon pick up, a Parasite Fee of $75.00 shall be charged to the pet owner for disinfection of all facility areas their pet came in contact with that now must be parasite treated. A negative fecal test MUST be presented to Ak9C PRIOR to that animal coming back to our facility.
• Check In/Out: We offer extended hours for your convenience! In doing such, your pet is charged for the day of drop off regardless of drop off time. 9:00am is Check-Out time. If your pet is picked up before 9:00 am then they will not incur a charge for the day of pick up.
• Express Checkout: If your dog is participating in doggie daycare while they are boarded & you would like them to be in Doggie Daycare on their last day of their stay, you can elect for the “Express Checkout” Discount. To get this discount, you MUST Request Express Check Out via one of these 3 Options: 
  • 1) Call our front desk after close on the evening before your dog’s pickup & leave a voicemail (603)672-8448
  • 2) Call our front desk before 9am am on the day of pickup (603)672-8448
  • 3) Text the EXPRESS CHECKOUT LINE prior to 9am on your dog’s day of departure (802)317-1711- Note this is a TEXT only line
  • Please leave us your name, your pet’s name, the earliest time you plan on picking up and state that you are requesting EXPRESS CHECK OUT. We will bill your credit card on file & have your receipt ready when you pick up. This discount allows you to be charged just for a day of doggie daycare ($25) rather than the boarding rate ($40). So why do we require you to call?  This ensures that you truly will be able to pick up your dog on the designated day, therefore allowing  us to clean & resell your dog’s boarding kennel to another guest for that day. Many clients have the best intentions to pick up their pet on any given day, but traffic, flight changes & other unforeseen circumstances can cause delays. By us receiving a call, it confirms to us that your pet will not require an additional night of boarding.
• FOOD/Treats: You are welcome to bring your pet’s own food & treats from home, BUT please ONLY bring what your pet will need while they are here. We DO NOT give excess food & treats back. We do NOT accept large bags or bins of food. Only reseal-able gallon size Ziploc bags or reseal-able individually portioned meals will be accepted.
• Half days are not pro-rated for pets that are being boarded or in daycare
• Emergency Care: We require a major credit card on file for ALL boarding & Daycare animals for emergency care purposes. All emergency care WILL be billed to this card.
• Age: Any pet over the age of 13 years old, must come in for a initial consultation or speak to AK9C Management PRIOR to boarding. We do not recommend boarding pets over the age of 13 years. AK9C reserves the right to refuse any pet that we feel is too aged or ill to board.
• Holidays: Although we are open 365 days a year, we do have LIMITED pick up & drop off hours on holidays. For a list of these restricted hours, please visit our News/Events Page or see below. If you wish to pick up or drop off a pet on the actual “holiday” (see list below) there will be an additional Holiday Fee of $35.00 per pet.  “Holidays” consist of: New Year’s Eve 9am-12pm, New Year’s Day 4pm-5pm, Memorial Day 9am-12pm, Easter Sunday 9am-12pm, July 4th 9am-12pm, Labor Day 9am-12pm, Thanksgiving Day 9am-10am, Christmas Eve 9am-12pm & Christmas Day 9am-10am.

How does Ak9C deal with Power Outages?
American K9 Country is fortunate to have a monster of a generator that can power our ENTIRE facility with Heat, A/C, Hot & Cold water & ALL lights required to run our facility as “normal”.  We do however loose phone lines off and on, so some credit card processing may be limited. But rest assured, your pets are warm & cozy even when your power is out at home! We are ALWAYS willing to help out when you need a last minute emergency place to board your pet so if our phones are down, just stop by & we will do our best to help out.
During storms & power outages up to the hour updates can be found on our Facebook page.

What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, Check & All major Credit Cards

Can I bring my pet’s own food for boarding?
Of course, as long as it is in reseal-able Ziploc bags either gallon or proportioned per meal…We do NOT give excess food back so please only bring what your pet will need during their stay.
The only thing we do not accept is bowls or glass of anykind.
You may bring anything else that you feel will make your dog more comfortable for its doggie vacation.

How soon should I book for dog boarding?
As soon as you know when you will be going away make your reservation. We tend to book for holidays & school vacations 4-6 months in advance. Weekends in the summer months tend to book 1-2 months in advance. Any other times, a couple of weeks to a month in advance should be sufficient.

Yes, your pup is still welcome. He will be let out on his own to play without the company of other dogs.
