Frequently asked questions

Your dog will be sharing our home and yard with our dogs and us. We believe a home environment provides your fur baby with a safe and comfortable setting which helps alleviate unnecessary stress and anxiety. We have a “dog den” — a bedroom in our house set up with dog crates and beds — which is where your fur baby spends the night. Our motto is “Say NO to kennels!”

Please bring your dog’s food bowl and crate if they use one. We provide a large variety of dog beds, mats, blankets and toys for your dog’s comfort during his or her stay. You are welcome to bring personal bedding, toys, food or special treats if you prefer. We also recommend you bring a favorite toy, blanket or t-shirt covered with your scent — this helps make your baby feel more comfortable at bedtime, especially for first-time sleepovers.

Please label personal belongings with your pet’s first and last name (use indelible marker or any other form of waterproof labeling). Glass and other breakable items are not allowed.

In general, maintaining the same diet being eaten at home is best, therefore we do require you to provide your dog’s own food. We suggest you bring a little extra, in case your pet’s stay is extended for any reason. Please use a marked container for bulk food or labeled bags for individual meal portions. All canned or wet food must also be labeled.

If your pet has any food allergies or special diet restrictions, please let us know in advance. Additional fees may apply for food preparation above and beyond standard dry and canned food, or for meals/treats in addition to or outside of our standard feeding schedule.

Your dog will be treated to supervised daily playtime and open socialization with our regular daycare and sleepover guests. This assures they get the necessary exercise and attention required to make their stay a happy one. Meals are provided once or twice a day according to your dog’s regular feeding schedule. Doggy beds (or you can bring your own), cozy blankets and clean fresh water are provided throughout the day and night. We make sure your doggy feels welcome and loved with extra rubs and “TLC” throughout their stay.

Our standard nightly boarding fee covers a 24-hour period from the time of drop-off to pick-up. Additional daycare fees will be applied for time exceeding the 24-hour period.

Yes! Your dog will spend time playing with the other doggy guests and will have access in and out of the house through a doggy door.

At Fremont Pups Playhouse, we take our vaccination requirements very seriously. We are concerned with both the health of your pet and the health of all the other animals your pet may come in contact with while boarding with us. When making a reservation, we will let you know what vaccination information, if any, we have on file for your pet, and when those vaccinations are due to expire. However, it is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that Pups Playhouse has required proof of vaccinations prior to boarding. We cannot allow an animal into our home that is not in compliance with our vaccination requirements.

All vaccinations must be given at least 48 hours prior to boarding. First-time vaccinations for puppies must be given at least 2 weeks prior to boarding. Vaccinations cannot expire during your pet’s stay. The following vaccinations are required:

Rabies, DHPP (Distemper) & Bordetella, Dog Influenza and Leptospirosis

• Rabies & DHPP can be either 1-year or 3-year vaccinations
• Bordetella must be a 6-month vaccination

You or your veterinarian may send vaccination, health certificate, and age certification information to Fremont Pups Playhouse via email at Deemb34@aol.com.

Please include your name and reservation date in your correspondence.

Each time you check in, we will confirm how we may reach you directly (or reach a designated emergency contact authorized to make decisions on your behalf while you are away) in the event of an emergency. You will also be required to sign a Treatment Authorization release that allows us to seek emergency care for your pet if you and your emergency contact are unreachable, should a situation occur. If a problem arises, we will always try to reach you or your emergency contact before taking any action.

During normal business hours, we will take your pet to Ace Animal Hospital for emergency treatment. If they are closed, we have arrangements with Beacon Veterinary Hospital, a nearby 24-hour emergency facility approximately 15 minutes away.

Yes, we administer pills, supplements, ointments and other oral and topical medications for an additional charge. We regret that we do not administer injections.

We take the safety and health of our guests very seriously. Please feel confident and assured we will take care of your fur baby with loving care. Our backyard is secure and fenced. For additional security we have extra gates and fencing put up in front of all gates and doors.
