Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered
How are boarding rates calculated?
We charge BY DAY, not by night, and the only day these charges differ are on MONDAY, because we are closed on SUNDAY. On a Monday, if you pick up PRIOR to 10am, we do not charge for that Monday. However, all other days regardless of the drop off and pick up time, it will be a full day charge. Our suggestion is on drop off day to drop off as early as possible and on the pick up day, to pick up later in the day to get the most cost efficient experience out of your stay!
What vaccinations are required?
* We cannot accept your pet without these!
1. Rabies
2. Distemper/Parvo
3. Bordetella (which helps prevent kennel cough for your camper). The requirement for our bordetella's is to be given every 6 months!
4. The Canine Influenza H3N8/H3N2 vaccine. It is a dual dose vaccine.
CIV currently not required, but highly recommended for boarding/daycare
What is your policy on food and medicine?
FOOD
If your pet has a special diet please provide food. Please provide food in pre portioned bags
MEDICINE
Please document the dosage (how much and how often) so we can keep your camper feeling good. We ask that you keep all medication in original container
Can I bring my dog's own toys and blankets?
We have all the toys, bowls, and bedding you could need. We limit our campers to one moderately sized bed and 2 toys;
We do our very best here at Camp Schultz to get all of our campers' belongings back to them when they leave, however rare occasions of beds/toys of being damaged or lost do happen and we wouldn't want it to be their favorite items. So it is a good idea to bring a bed that your pet doesn't frequently use as well as toys that they like, but are not their "go to's", like something that is already due to be retired, or even an old bed sheet.

Does my pet have to be a certain age to board?
Yes, they have to have all final vaccines, and the final vaccine can only be administered at 16 weeks of age or older.
What shots do my pets need?
All pets boarded with us need up-to-date shots. For dogs, this includes Rabies, Distemper / Parvo, and Bordetella vaccinations. You must bring in proof of these vaccinations.
Can my pet be bathed or groomed before I pickup?
We offer baths, dips, nail clipping and grooming. Grooming appointments are limited so book early.
Can I bring my own food for my pet?
We encourage you to use food that is best for your pet! If your pet has a sensitive stomach bring your own — they will already be a little stressed and a change of food can increase this. There is no extra charge for giving your pet a “Special Diet”.
How early do I need to make holiday reservations?
Over the holidays we do fill up, so please do this as soon as possible.
How early should I have their shots before I board them?
We recommend at least 10 days for all shots to take effect — ESPECIALLY Bordetella!!
How does Camp Schultz Kennel prevent fleas and ticks?
Any pet arriving with fleas/ticks will be bathed and dipped at the owners expense. We adhere to strict cleaning procedures to prevent the spread of pests to include monthly treatments of our grounds and kennels areas.
What type of food will my pet receive while at Camp Schultz?
At Camp Schultz we ask that all owners provide their own food during the pets stay. We offer Kirkland Salmon and Kirkland Chicken kibble at an additional cost of $4 per day/per pet.
Do you administer medication?
Yes. Just bring the medication(s) with you and give us instructions. If more than 3 medications are needed, then there’s a medication fee of $3 per day.
Is there an age limit for boarding?
There’s no age limit, but dogs over 9 need a Senior Pet Waiver signed by their vet before boarding.
