EXTRA DOG'S INFORMATION
At six months of age, the state of Iowa requires all dogs to be spayed or neutered in order to play with other dogs in a daycare facility. We offer one on one playtime with a staff member for pups who have not been spayed or neutered after that point. If your pup is in heat or begins a heat cycle, we will not be able to board them or have them attend daycare. If they go into heat while they are with us, we require a designated pick up person or we will take them to the vet to be boarded at owner’s cost.
BEHAVIOR AND PERSONALITY:
FEEDING, MEDICATIONS AND HEALTH:
Feedings: At ACCR, we do feedings at the following times: 6 am, 11 am, and 6 pm. Additional or altered feeding schedules are available. All food and treats must be sent in a resealable container (Ziploc bags preferred) either portioned out by meal or we can measure at each feeding. We will confirm feeding times, amount, and type of food at every check-in.
At ACCR, we do our medications at the following times: 6 am, 11 am, and 6 pm. As always, your pup’s health is our top priority and our staff is able to accommodate any times outside of these for administering time sensitive medications. All medications will be confirmed at every check-in with your sign off indicating we have everything listed correctly for their stay. Please send in all supplies used to administer medications (pill pockets, peanut butter, etc.). We will not leave medication unattended in a food bowl for safety purposes.
We require all vaccinations to be administered by a veterinarian and ACCR must be provided with a copy from the vet clinic listing either the date administered or the expiration date. Vaccines updated after expiration are subject to a 7 to 14 day waiting period depending on the type of vaccine and how it is given. We have a full copy of our vaccination policy available on our website.

Waivers cannot be secured for bordetella and rabies vaccines.
