APACHE FARMS BOARDING AND PLAYCARE SERVICES
At Apache Farms, we want to provide a fun, loving, safe and healthy environment for our guests. We know that that by working with responsible pet owners, we can achieve this and your pet will have a secure and happy stay with us. Following are a few things you need to know prior to your dog’s first stay.
General Rules
· Your pet must be at least 4 months old
· Must be spayed or neutered for playcare
· Should be house trained
· Must be non-pet aggressive
· Must be non-people aggressive
· Must have been socialized with other dogs and children
· Pet parents will have to certify that their pets have not previously harmed or shown threatening behavior toward people or other dogs.
Playcare
Lodging
Dogs may be brought in at any time within our public hours. However, we suggest you drop off your dog as early as possible so he or she will have time to play before dinner. Dogs play outside generally from one hour after breakfast to 1:00 pm and 2:00 to 5:00. Mandatory nap time is from 1 to 2 pm. Playtimes may vary during inclement weather.
Meals are fed twice a day: prior to morning playtime and in the evening (usually around 6:00pm.)
Bringing your own food is strongly suggested. We are happy to feed our food for an additional fee.
We give oral medications to your dogs at no extra cost. All medications must come in a clearly marked container (preferably the original packaging). The following information is required: Dog’s name, name of medication, dosage per day or as needed, and reason for medication.
Label everything you bring for the dog with their name. We are not responsible for lost or eaten items. Raised beds and blankets are provided. You do not need to bring towels or food dishes.
We do not allow rawhide chewies or cooked bones. You may bring toys for the kennel, but they are not allowed in the play areas.

Playcare
- Dogs may be brought in from 7:00 to 8:30 in the morning for full or half-day playcare; and from 12:30 to 1:30 for half-day playcare.
- Playcare hours: 7 am - 6 pm, Monday - Friday.
- A "half day" of Playcare is any five hour period.
- An evaluation is required prior to the first boarding or daycare visit. We will do a thorough assessment of your dog and let you know whether or not Apache Farms is a good fit for them.
- All dogs must have current vaccination records on file with us. These include:
- Rabies within three years
- DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus)
- Bordetella (required every six months).
- If your veterinarian’s recommendations differ from our requirements, please follow your vet’s advice and have them furnish a note stating the changes.
- All dogs are required to be on a flea and heartworm prevention program.
- All dogs must wear a nylon or leather collar with a nametag and current rabies tag. Choke chains, electronic collars and prong collars are not allowed. They present hazards to dogs within the play group. Harnesses get caught on fences and make great handles for larger dogs so please take them off on arrival.
