BOARDING

Are you looking for a fun, safe, and loving place for your dog while you're away on vacation or traveling?

Canine Cottage Salem offers overnight boarding 365 days a year as your dog’s home away from home. We are the perfect place for dogs that love to play, socialize, and just be dogs in our unique open play environment. And of course all dogs, both social and non-social, get plenty of love and attention throughout the day!

Unlike traditional kennels, boarding dogs take advantage of our full daycare schedule at no additional charge. Our special environment will leave your dog all tuckered out at the end of their stay, so that you can enjoy a calm household when you return from your trip!

Boarding Guidelines

Evaluation: A full day of Daycare evaluation is required for all new dogs prior to boarding. This will determine whether your dog is comfortable in play groups and in our facility.
Vaccinations: Please make sure you or your vet have provided us with updated vaccination records. We require Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella (you may need to ask for this one specifically as it’s not a standard vaccination). You can easily upload your vaccination records via the Paw Partner App. You may also may bring the records in with you or have them emailed to us.
Drop-Off: Our Drop-Off hours are 7:00 - 11:30 AM & 2:30 - 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 - 10:00 AM & 4:00 - 6:00 PM Saturday through Sunday. We encourage morning Drop-Off's to ensure your dog gets acclimated to the group as well as enjoys plenty of play on that first day of boarding!
Food: You may bring your own dog food or use ours (House Food has an additional charge of $5/meal if you use this option). If your dog has a sensitive stomach, we strongly recommend bringing your own food to avoid any stomach issues while at Canine Cottage Salem. Be sure to bring it in Ziploc bags or an air-tight container.
Bedding: All dogs are provided with bedding and bowls for meals/water at no additional charge. Because of this, we recommend leaving yours at home to ensure none of your personal belongings are lost or damaged.
Medications: We are happy to administer medications for your dogs at no charge. If you have concerns about your dog’s health or medication requirements, please contact us prior to your reservation.
