Food and medication

The kennel stocks a wide variety of quality dry and canned canine and feline diets. Your pet will be given food that most closely duplicates his home diet (diets on hand are listed below), or you may provide particular diets when required.. All pets are fed twice daily unless otherwise requested. When bringing own diet, please package individual meals in Ziploc baggies.

Medication must be furnished by the owner and should be brought in a clearly labeled container with the name and dosage of the medication. Special medication requirements may be subject to an additional charge. Please bring a few extra doses in case the pick up date changes.

Health and safety

Health and safety of your pet are extremely important to us. We require all boarders to have the specific vaccinations listed below to provide the best prevention of serious contagious illness in the kennel. We use hospital grade disinfectants to ensure clean and sanitized facilities. Animals are carefully observed and their appetites and stools are monitored daily. If any medical concerns arise, we will contact your regular veterinarian as soon as possible and act promptly on their advice. Emergency care and transportation are provided if needed.

Vaccinations

No pet will be accepted without vaccination certificates currently valid for the following:

Cats: Rabies
          Feline distemper/upper respiratory combination (FVRCP)

Dogs: Rabies
           Distemper (DHLPP)
           Bordetella

We also recommend dogs be vaccinated for Corona virus and cats vaccinated for Feline leukemia virus. Please ask your veterinarian to indicate on the certificates the expiration date for each vaccine as there is some variation between veterinarians as to the length of time each vaccination is valid. You may have copies of the certificates faxed to Rexpointe at 248-879-0310 or bring copies when you drop off your pet.

Bedding, dishes, and personal items

All dogs and cats are provided with clean and comfortable rugs and blankets that can be easily sanitized. Using kennel provided bedding prevents loss or damage to items brought from home. We have learned through experience that most pets show little or no interest in toys or other personal items brought from home. You are welcome to bring such items, but we ask that you keep them to a minimum and understand that we are not responsible for their return or the condition of the item if returned. A moderate amount of treats may be left for the pet and they will be given daily at an appropriate time.

Elderly Pets

Elderly pets and those with significant chronic medical problems should be boarded at your veterinarian. When Rexpointe agrees in unusual cases to board an elderly pet, additional contracts and medical decisions are required.
