We do not accept non neutered adult male dogs. We will take unneutered male puppies up until puberty starts to dictate their behaviour (anything between 7 - 18 months old). When your male puppy enters puberty, there will be a stand-down period until they have been neutered.

All dogs enrolled at The Dog House must be fully vaccinated and have an annual kennel cough vaccination. The Dog House reserves the right to request proof of any vaccinations.

All female dogs that are on heat will have a 4-5 week stand down from daycare and kennels. It causes much excitement amongst the other dogs and they all rile each other up. We also don’t want accidents happening on our watch.

For short kennel stays, please we request that you supply your dogs own food, this prevents unhappy stomach upsets from changing their diet to our food and then back to theirs again.

Yes, even though daycare and kennels are off-leash it is essential that they are securely leashed to a harness or collar when they arrive and leave our premises.

We do not accept enrollments from aggressive dogs. We want our dogs to have the best experience with us and being separated from the others due to aggression issues is not going to give any of our dogs a happy experience.
