Everything you need to know before your pet's first visit. Assessment process, requirements, and what to expect.

All dogs must pass an assessment before daycare or boarding. Here's what to expect.
Call us at (218) 287-2000 to schedule. Assessments are Monday through Thursday, 10 AM – 2 PM. Cost is $20 per dog.
Bring your dog with proof of current Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines. Plan for a minimum 4-hour visit.
Your dog acclimates to the environment, meets staff, and is gradually introduced to other dogs at their own pace.
We evaluate temperament, play style, and group fit. Some dogs need more time than others, that's completely normal.
Once your dog passes, they can come for daycare anytime and can schedule boarding with us.
