    1. Puppies – who can resist an adorable puppy? We certainly can't! But we also realize the extra care and attention needed during this crucial learning period. That's why we offer additional puppy perks like socialization with appropriate dogs, baths and nail trim, continued behavioural training and extra quiet time to replenish their batteries! Intact male puppies over six months old must use the special handling dog rate- see below for details.

    2. Senior dogs – many of our doggie OAPs prefer life in the slow lane or simply need a quieter space to relax away from their younger counterparts. We can help keep your senior dog in their familiar routine and offer appropriate dog parks for unsteady legs, extra blankets for sore knees and plenty of belly scratches to keep them happy. If your senior dog also needs medication, don't worry; we have plenty of experience and can ensure they get all the TLC they need.

    3. Dogs with medical needs – include dogs with severe medical conditions that need specialized care.

    4. Intact male dogs over six months old – as we can only house one intact male dog at a time in each space, we are limited in the numbers we can accept. Please book early to avoid disappointment.

They are helping Newbies enjoy their most positive first experiences, while they are having their best times too. Please note: During our busy seasons, our Ruff'n It dogs stay in our older lodge which is further away from the Main Pavilion, so they need to be super secure and happy campers we know are comfortable further away within the older lodge. If you want your dog in the Main Dog Lodge then choose One-Step-Up instead of Ruff'n It.

We do our best to ensure all our guests have their best “Playcations.” We cannot guarantee they will not run into a tree get snagged by a branch or a tooth in play. We do our utmost to prevent injuries and report any concerns upon discovery to the dog’s owner, guardian and/or emergency contact. Owners are financially responsible for any veterinary costs due to injury, illness or underlying health issues. Please include any veterinary instructions in your customer/pet profile area.

** We do not accept guests after 12:45 PM because it’s difficult to acclimate the arriving dog with other resort guests.

LATE ARRIVALS: These can be booked in the peak summer season. Late arrivals ($100 surcharge) so we can employ staff to shift other dogs from hearing guests coming outside our times and meet you at a set time and personally settle the dog into the resort when it arrives outside the regular check-in times. Being cage-free, we have to ensure the happiness of all our guests. If our times don't work, we can recommend a couple of conventional kennels in the area that are cage-free and not as stringent timewise. 
* Late arrivals are exceedingly difficult during the winter months due to fewer daylight hours. Dogs need to be acclimatized during daylight hours so they may become familiar with the resort and all its opportunities.

HST applies to all rates.
