Properly preparing your dog’s meals is an essential part of ensuring their comfort and well-being during their stay at On Command Dogs. To help you get everything ready, we’ve put together a guide on how to prepare and pack your dog’s food, along with important details about feeding instructions and our kennel food option.
Why Bring Your Dog’s Food? We strongly recommend bringing your dog’s regular food to keep them on their normal diet. Sudden changes in diet can cause upset stomachs, so sticking to their usual food helps maintain their digestive health and keeps them comfortable. If needed, we can provide “Kennel Food” at a cost of $2.50 per meal, but bringing their own food is always the best option. How to Prepare Your Dog’s Meals When packing your dog’s food, make sure to bring enough for their entire stay, plus a little extra to account for delays or increased activity levels. Here’s how to prepare different types of food: 1. Dry Food
2. Wet Food
3. Treats
Feeding Instructions At drop-off, our front desk staff will ask about your dog’s feeding schedule and any special instructions. These details will be recorded in our system to ensure consistency and proper care.
A Stress-Free Mealtime Experience By following these guidelines, you’ll help ensure that your dog’s mealtimes remain consistent and stress-free while they’re boarding with us. If you have any questions about meal preparation or special dietary needs, feel free to contact us—we’re here to help! At On Command Dogs, we’re committed to making your dog’s boarding stay as beneficial and enjoyable as possible. That’s why we offer a range of additional services to meet your pup’s needs, from training to grooming. Here’s a closer look at the services you can add to enhance their stay:
1. Bootcamp: Train While They Board Our Bootcamp programs are an excellent way to combine boarding with professional training. These programs are designed to address behavioral challenges, teach new commands, or reinforce obedience—all while your dog enjoys their stay.
2. Training Refresher Has your dog already completed a training course with On Command Dogs? If so, they’re eligible for our $25 Training Refresher during their boarding stay.
3. Grooming Services After days of fun and activity, why not treat your dog to a little pampering? We offer a variety of grooming services to keep your pup clean, fresh, and looking their best.
The Perfect Boarding Experience Whether you’re looking to improve your dog’s behavior, maintain their training, or pamper them with grooming, these add-on services help make their stay as rewarding as possible. If you have any questions or want to add a service to your dog’s boarding stay, contact us today—we’d love to help you create the perfect experience for your pup! At On Command Dogs, we know how important playtime and socialization are for your furry friend. That’s why we offer the opportunity for boarding dogs to join our daycare group—but there’s a process to follow to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Here’s everything you need to know about daycare eligibility for boarding dogs.
Daycare Evaluation: A Prerequisite for Playtime Before your dog can participate in daycare, they must complete our daycare evaluation process. This evaluation helps our trainers assess your dog’s behavior, temperament, and social skills to ensure they’re a good fit for group play. The evaluation is a critical step in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all dogs in our care. Scheduling the Evaluation Daycare evaluations must be scheduled with one of our trainers, and due to high demand, our evaluation appointments are typically booked 3–4 weeks in advance. If you’re planning to board your dog and want them to participate in daycare, we recommend scheduling their evaluation as early as possible to secure a spot. Daycare During Boarding If your dog passes the evaluation, they’ll be eligible to join our daycare group while boarding, provided capacity limits haven’t been reached. Daycare offers a fantastic opportunity for your dog to burn off energy, socialize, and enjoy supervised play with other friendly pups—all at no extra cost during their stay. Benefits of Daycare for Boarding Dogs Participating in daycare while boarding provides numerous benefits for your dog, including:
Plan Ahead for a Pawsitive Experience To give your dog the best experience while boarding, it’s essential to plan ahead. Schedule their daycare evaluation well before their boarding stay and ensure they’re ready for fun and safe playtime. For more details on our daycare services or to book an evaluation, click here. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us—we’re here to help you and your pup every step of the way! Wondering what your furry friend’s daily routine will be like while boarding with us? At On Command Dogs, we ensure your pup stays active, well-fed, and cared for throughout their stay. Here’s a peek into a typical day for our boarding dogs, designed to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free.
Morning Walks and Breakfast Our day starts early, around 5:30 AM, with the first round of leash walks in our secure, fenced backyard. These walks are scheduled every 2-3 hours to provide plenty of opportunities for exercise and bathroom breaks. Breakfast is served starting at 6:00 AM, ensuring your dog gets the energy they need for the day ahead. If your dog requires additional feedings, we’re happy to accommodate up to three meals a day. Midday Activities and Playtime Throughout the day, your dog will continue to enjoy regular walks and, if they’ve passed our daycare evaluation, they can join our daycare group for social playtime with other friendly pups. Daycare offers a fun, enriching environment with opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. Best of all, daycare is included at no extra cost, provided there’s availability in the group. (For more details, check out our daycare services.) Evening Meals and Final Walks Dinner is served around 7:00 PM, and your dog’s evening wraps up with additional walks to ensure they’re comfortable and ready for bed. The final walk of the day takes place around 9:30 PM, providing one last chance to stretch their legs before settling in for the night. Bedtime and Overnight Care Once all walks are complete, it’s bedtime for our boarding guests. We dim the lights to create a calm, quiet environment that promotes restful sleep. And rest assured, your pup is never alone—our facility is staffed 24/7, so there’s always someone on hand to monitor and care for your dog, even during the night. A Day Tailored to Your Dog’s Needs At On Command Dogs, every dog receives personalized care and attention. Whether your pup thrives on playtime, prefers a calm routine, or has special dietary needs, we’re here to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable stay. If you have any questions or specific requests for your dog’s boarding experience, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re committed to giving your pet the best care possible while you’re away! When it comes to boarding your dog, their health and well-being are our top priorities. If your pup requires medications, supplements, or vitamins during their stay, we’re happy to help administer them. To ensure everything runs smoothly, here’s a detailed guide to our medication policy, including what we accept, what we don’t, and how to prepare for your dog’s stay.
Medication Administration Fee Administering medications, supplements, and vitamins requires careful attention and adherence to your pet’s routine. For this reason, we charge a daily $5 administration fee for these services. This fee helps ensure our staff has the time and resources to properly care for your dog’s health needs. What We Accept To maintain safety and consistency, we require all medications, supplements, and vitamins to meet the following criteria:
