Spacious In/Outdoor Kennel:
Beechnut Kennels is simple, spacious, and good! Our kennels are temperature controlled indoor/outdoor runs. This means your pet has a temperature controlled indoor space that is connected by a dog door to a partly sheltered and fenced in outdoor space. We are cageless and crateless! Thanks to our spacious kennels that size up to 10X12 (inside) we have very satisfied giant breed and multiple pet families who are thankful to be able to board their pets together with room to spare! Remember, We also offer a $5/day discount for one pet sharing a run with other pets!
Approximate Measurements:
Inside: Outside:
Small Canines: 5 feet X 7 feet inside 5 feet X 12 feet outside
Large Canines: 7 feet X 8 feet inside 7 feet X 12 feet outside…. Or larger!
All-Day Outside Access:
Your pet has all-day access (weather permitting) to the partially sheltered outdoor portion of their run which gives them the freedom to potty, sunbathe, lay in the shade, or go inside and crawl into our hammock beds provided to each pet.
Hammock Cot:
Beechnut will provide each pet with a hammock-style cot that is designed with safety in mind for those that chew. We also have blankets that can be placed on the cot or on the floor if you would like. You may choose to bring your own food, bedding, toys, and treats based on the needs of your pet. Please ensure you are bringing items familiar to your pet that you have already deemed “safe” for them to have unattended. We suggest beds that have a removable cover for washing or using a blanket, towel, or bath rug.
Toys/Treats Allowed:
Please bring toys and treats that will not be missed if lost or damaged. Toys and treats dropped off with your pet will be given to your pet at your instruction and at your own risk. Please also consider your pets safety when choosing toys and treats, for example, a pet who “woofs” down food should not be given chews that can be broken into large pieces because this would be a choking hazard. We cannot supervise each pet with a toy or chew, unless you choose to provide your pet with our one-on-one “Couch Potato Time” for a small fee.
Bedding Allowed:
Please feel free to bring washable bedding that may comfort your pet. We do not recommend your pet’s favorite bedding as it may be lost or damaged. If you would like to bring a stuffed or foam beds try to bring one that has a vinyl or plastic cover under the fabric cover. We also have bedding at the kennel that can be provided to your pet. It is the owner’s responsibility to inform the kennel staff that your pet should not have bedding if your pet is likely to chew and ingest bedding.
Customized Feeding:
We strongly recommend that you bring your pet’s normal diet for their boarding stay because this will significantly reduce the likelihood that they will experience upset stomach or soft stool from a diet change.
- Food may be brought in any sealable and waterproof container (Tupperware, baggies, buckets, tins, etc.). Please label your container.
- We appreciate, but do not require, the food to be pre-measured and placed in baggies.
- We recommend bringing enough food for your pets stay and two extra days for unexpected emergencies.
- We do have a refrigerator to store foods that require such.
- We will feed up to four times daily in the amount requested.
- We do not recommend feeding after 5 pm to ensure your pet has time to eliminate prior to evening closure.
If you do not bring your pets regular diet, we will provide Pedigree Lamb and Rice for Sensitive Stomachs and/or Pedigree canned food to be administered per your instructions. Please notify us if your pet has food allergies.
Medication Needs:
We will administer prescription medications to your pet if you provide the pet’s original medication container that has the medication name, medication dosage, and veterinarian instructions. If you are administering a non-prescription medication to your pet, we will accept the medication in the original container and your written instructions for administration. We will not be responsible for any adverse effects of medication that you request be administered.
*Please do not place medication in pre-packaged food baggies because this does not allow us to easily document if your pet actually consumed the medication.
** We will not accept responsibility for a pet that has life-sustaining medication, but we are happy to administer maintenance medications at no additional fee. We will administer insulin and other injections in certain situations at the sole discretion of the kennel manager for a small fee. Please inform our staff of any health condition prior to making a reservation.
Play Yard Recess:
We will release your pet into a chain-link fenced play yard at your own risk. Our kennels are attached to play yards where each pet has time to run, roam, sniff, and potty at least three times per day. You may also choose to allow your dog to socialize with other pets in the yard. It is your responsibility to notify us if you do not want your pet left unattended in a play yard for approximately 10-15 minutes. If your pet has ever escaped an enclosure, we recommend that you discuss this with us in advance. Supervised play sessions are also available for a small fee.
