New Cat Client Process

1. Schedule Vacationing Services 

Have a back-up plan in place, in case we have to excuse your pet for any reasons, (as dogs become more comfortable, they become more confident and can start to show bully tendencies and some cats just do not do well away from their home.) ie. Professional Dog/Pet Sitter. 

All services are required to be submitted through your PetSitClick portal including new services, changes or cancellations prior to 2pm the day prior to the day the changes need to take place. We will not schedule services or make changes via emails, over the phone or voicemail. 

To make changes to your services, please submit a change request through the View/Change/Cancel Tab. Please list the date and times you prefer to change to, there is no need to submit a new service request if making changes to a scheduled service. 

All pets entering our facility must be under control at all times by the Pet Parent. 

Dogs must arrive on a 5 or 6ft flat nylon lead with a secured collar or harness. Acceptable collars are belt buckle adjustable collars, gentle leaders, martingales and harnesses. We will decline dogs that are not on a lead or using extendable leashes or a stretchy lead.  Unacceptable collars are prong collars and any type of choker collar.  

Cats must arrive in a secured cat carrier and if multiple cats are in one carrier the carrier must be large enough for all cats to stand up and move freely within the carrier. (If we ever had to evacuate our building, we need to use the carrier to remove the cats from the building). Also, cats cannot be wearing collars or harnesses, these pose a safety risk with getting caught in the kitty condos and in the kitty playroom.

Food

All vacationing pets are required to arrive with enough food to cover the duration of the scheduled vacation plus 2 extra days, otherwise emergency contacts will be contacted to deliver more food. All pets are required to eat their regular diet while vacationing with us to prevent undue stress and upset tummies. 

All 10 hr daycare dogs are required to have a snack midday and/or dinner to keep them nourished and to help reassure their suite is a pawsitive place. (Same concept as crate training) 

All pets must be up to date with their vaccines or have a valid titre test results. These vaccines are as follows:

CATS: Rabies, FVRCP, Leukemia (outdoor cats) 

DOGS: Rabies, Parvo/Distemper Combo & Bordetella. 

PUPPIES: Must have 1st set of vaccines, (Parvo/distemper combo & Bordetella) and continue to follow their puppy vaccine schedule. 

PLEASE NOTE: All dogs must wait 7 days from the day they receive their bordetella vaccine before they can enter the resort. NO EXCEPTIONS.  

Pet Pawsitive's Team tracks our clients pets vaccines and we even send reminders to clients that their vaccines are due when we can, however, it is the clients responsibility to maintain their pets vaccines, and to notify Pet Pawsitive of vaccine appointments so we can assure the 7 day waiting period is honoured. If a client books any service within the 7 day waiting period, the client will be responsible for any cancellation/admin fees that apply, 

If a client submits a service request after 2pm the day before, or on the same day the services are required, then a same day fee will be applied of $11.25 (plus tax) to the invoice.  We appreciate a phone call for same day services to let us know we have a service schedule. 

If a client is ever going to be late for their scheduled arrival time, we ask that you call us ahead of time to give us a heads up, this will prevent a late fee charge. Each client has a 15 min window from their scheduled drop off time, to prevent late fee charges, however we ask that the client arrives as close to drop off time as possible to allow time for their pup to do their business outside prior to joining their play group. 

Daycare – Pet Pawsitive does not charge a cancellation fee for daycare services as long as the client submits their cancellation/reschedule request through PetSitClick prior to the scheduled drop off time. Pet Pawsitive cannot accept cancellations through phone calls, emails or Facebook messages. If the client fails to submit the cancellation request through PetSitClick prior to drop off, the client will be charged a “NO SHOW FEE” which is the full cost of the day scheduled. 

Vacation: We do not "reschedule" vacationing services. Clients who want to change dates must submit a cancellation request and submit a new service request. Clients have 24hrs from the time their service request was submitted to cancel without being subject to a cancellation fee, however the client will be subject to a $17.25 (plus tax) administration fee to cover Pet Pawsitive’s admin time. 

Clients who submit a cancellation request 14 days or longer from the start of their scheduled vacation will not be subject to a cancellation fee, however the client will be subject to the $17.25 (plus tax) administration fee to cover Pet Pawsitive’s admin time. The deposit minus the admin fee will be credited to the client’s account. 

Clients who fail to provide 14 days notice (from the start of the vacation scheduled) of cancelling the scheduled vacation will be subject to a cancellation fee (plus tax). 

Cancellation fees for dogs is $32.78 plus tax per night and cat clients will be charged $20.13 plus tax per night. 

If a client fails to notify Pet Pawsitive of the cancellation prior to the start of the vacation, the client will be charged a “NO SHOW FEE” which is the full balance of the invoice. 

If a client chooses to pick up their pet earlier than the scheduled Pick Up date and time then the client is forgoing the rest the vacation schedule and no refunds or credits will be granted. 

Pet Pawsitive does not give refunds, when credit is due, the client’s account will be credited accordingly.  

AVOID Dog parks completely during the 4 week program. If your dog attends the dog park after 4 week program they must wait 14 days from last day before returning to our facility, this is to prevent any communicable diseases being spread, the dog park is an uncontrolled environment and pups are at risk of being exposed to unvaccinated dogs. If clients ignore this policy and their dog infects any other dog and/or causes an outbreak at Pet Pawsitive, if proven, they will be held liable for all costs associated with deep cleaning the facility, including extra hours for staffing, cost of cleaning products, and loss of revenue if the resort has to be shut down. 

Pet Pawsitive does their best to prevent kennel cough from entering our facility, we are diligent with our daily cleaning routine, however clients must be aware that kennel cough is a communicable airborne disease that is undetected for up to 14 days during this time they are contagious. Pet Pawsitive requires all dogs receive their Bordetella Vaccine and we require all clients to wait 7 days from the day they receive this vaccine from entering our facility. We also have our dog park policy in place year around. Even though we take all of these precautions, there is still a slight risk of dogs contracting this disease. The vaccine does not prevent this disease but it does boost the immune system to fight off the virus much quicker with less severe symptoms. All clients are required to notify Pet Pawsitive if they suspect kennel cough or if their vet diagnosed their dog with kennel cough. If we have a case of suspected and/or confirmed kennel cough, we will notify all clients via email and we will call the clients of the dogs directly exposed to inform them so they can stop spreading the virus. They will need to wait 14 days from the exposure date to return to our facility. For the infected dogs, they will need to be 72 hours symptom free before returning to our facility.

We require that all clients keep their pets at home if they are having an off day, not feeling well, eye infections, ear infections, injury, coughing, goopy eyes, runny noses, lethargic, etc. A dog that is not feeling well will be extremely irritable and have less tolerance for other dogs which could result in confrontation. Pet Pawsitive has the right to refuse service to any dog suspected of being ill. 

All emergencies will be treated equally. All efforts will be made to reach the client and co-ordinate proper care. If a client cannot be reached, Pet Pawsitive will contact the emergency contacts listed on file and if unable to make contact, the client agrees to allow Pet Pawsitive to seek emergency veterinarian care by way of a on-call veterinarian if possible, otherwise your pets veterinarian will be contacted. Clients are responsible for all charges incurred for any and all treatments, medication or necessary surgery to your pet(s). Clients are required to have a payment plan set up with their veterinarian and/or emergency contact to pay for the medical care received directly. Pet Pawsitive will charge clients for any costs related to the emergency care in regards to transport if the emergency contacts are unable to transport the pet to the veterinarian for care.

Any pup who takes longer than a 3 month break from daycare is required to be reassessed or is returning from being spayed or neutered. Behaviours can change very quickly with dogs. It’s very important for dogs to attend daycare regularly to maintain their social skills, independence, confidence & coping skills

It’s mandatory to schedule a 10 hr trial day prior to short vacations of 1-2 nights (this allows us to introduce your pup to our suites) 

It’s mandatory to schedule a trial night prior scheduling vacations longer than 2 nights. (This allows us to see how your pups does during the night and teaches your pup you are coming back for them). 

Please either pre-portion meals and label them with Pets Name and Am or Pm or bring your pups food bag with the appropriate scoop. 

Feeding schedule must be completed within Client’s Pet’s Profile with breakfast, lunch and/or dinner 

Bring your pets beds and/or blanket from home to offer the familiarity and the comfort of home. 

All puppies will be discharged at 7 months at the latest but can be discharged earlier if behaviour issues start to develop due to hormone development. We want to prevent any hormonal behaviours from becoming habitual. 

Once your pup has been spayed or neutered, your pup is required to be reassessed prior to returning to daycare as behaviours can change due to hormones. 

It’s extremely important for puppies to maintain a regular consistent schedule, ie. Same day and drop off time each week. This helps puppies prepare themselves for daycare, helps them be mentally prepare, help develop coping skills and can prevent anxiety.

After the completion of the 4 week program, it’s ideal for all puppies to stay consistent with twice a week 5hrs minimum, to allow them to practice their social skills, independence, confidence, play techniques, coping skills etc. practice is how they learn.

For 5 hour days, please bring crate for naps, helps with house training and offer familiar comfort to the pup.
