Boarding
Boarding at The Pet Social is a safe place for your pet to stay while you’re away
Boarding your dog at The Pet Social will be like a fun trip to overnight camp for your 4-legged friend. Our ultimate goal is to create a “home-away-from-home” atmosphere for your dog. Time away from mom and dad can be scary enough for dogs—not to mention being taken to a new place with strange smells and sounds. We want to make your dog’s time away from home as pleasant as possible—in fact, we want them to enjoy it when mom and dad leave town!
Our place is different, dogs do not stay in their kennels all day. Based on temperament & personality, boarders will hang out with the Pet Social Staff during the day, while being housed in a large 4x6 Kennel during nap time (as needed) and at night. While dogs are pack animals, they also like to have their own “den”– their own special place with their blanket, toy, etc. so they feel comfortable and safe.
All dogs must be up to date with their Rabies and Bordetella vaccinations. These records can be uploaded onto the scheduling link or brought to The Pet Social when you drop off your pet.
For the safety of your pet and others please, NO aggressive dogs!
All pets must be free of all external parasites (ticks and fleas) at the time of admission. All pets with external parasites will be treated upon entry and charged $30 for this treatment. When a dog comes on the premises with fleas it can be harmful to our property and other guests. If we have to treat your dog, we then we have to treat the building and the grounds. This is to keep our other guests flea free.
A note about Kennel Cough
Kennel Cough is highly contagious and is spread rapidly from one dog to another. Dogs affected with kennel cough most commonly have a harsh, dry cough that is often followed by gagging and coughing up foamy mucus.
The vaccination, much like your flu shot, isn’t 100% effective. However, dogs who have been vaccinated for kennel cough usually develop a lighter case and symptoms last a shorter period of time.
The Pet Social requires every dog that enters the facility to be vaccinated for Kennel Cough, the vaccination is quick and easy, and for most cases is very effective.
To protect your dog & others please note the following
If your dog is coughing, has eye discharge or is showing any signs of Kennel Cough - Do Not Bring Them. Dogs arriving with symptoms will be isolated until someone can pick them up.
If you arrive to drop off your pet for boarding without proof of this vaccine, your pet will be in an isolation kennel until we receive a copy of your vaccines. The isolation kennel is an additional $10 per day.
For $20 we can provide the bordetella vaccine to your pet. After vaccination, your pet will be required to be isolated for 72 hours (3 days) until the benefits of the vaccine take effect.

Absolutely, just text us at the business number 260-286-0014 and we will set up a convenient time to look around.
Why do I need an appointment, aren't you there all day?
Not all of our staff is trained to do client check-ins and check-outs. Some employees just come in to feed, potty and play with your pets. With appointments, we can schedule the right staff at the right time. Also, we like to know when you are coming so we can get everything ready for you and your pet.
Does someone stay over night with the pets?
No one stays over night. We do have staff that stays late, and staff that comes in very early.
