At Colorado Dog Academy, we have individual-indoor/outdoor runs so that the dogs may go in and out all day as they please, and are closed indoors at nighttime and during severe weather. The insides and outsides of the kennels are hosed out once per day and the waste is removed four times per day. The insides are heated in the winter and cooled by industrial sized circulating fans in the summer. The insides are cleaned with both an air and a floor disinfectant each morning. Each dog is provided with an appropriate sized water receptacle that is filled each morning and throughout the day as needed. Each dog receives a platform bed so that they are off the concrete, bedding is also provided. You may bring your pet a toy or comfort item that will make them feel more at home during their stay with us. Families having more than one dog are allowed and encouraged to board the dogs together for the dogs’ well-being. At Colorado Dog Academy we feed Wellness and Canidae pet foods. Wellness and Canidae use all-natural human-grade ingredients food with no wheat or corn. If you prefer, you are welcome to bring your dog’s food, in a sealed container, for no additional cost. Treats are also welcome for your pet to have. In order to board with us, your dog needs to be current on the following vaccinations: Distemper combination shot (DHLPP-CV), Rabies, and Bordatella (Kennel Cough). Bordatella should be administered at least 48 hours in advance of boarding if given nasally or orally, or at least 2 weeks in advance if given by injection. Medications can be administered to your pet if needed for a small fee. If your pets are on medication at home, please bring the medications in the original prescription bottles, so that we may follow the medication as you do at home. We use Pill Pockets to administer medication, included in the fee. Additional exercise is available at your discretion. We offer either a ¼ mile walk for single dogs, or an exercise pen for multiple dogs belonging to the same family. Grooming can be added on the final day before pickup.
