Question 1

What is included in dog boarding at Circle Lake Ranch?

Accepted Answer

Our boarding includes spacious indoor kennels, cozy bedding, fresh water, and plenty of outdoor playtime in our large, natural yards. We group dogs by size and temperament, and we never charge extra for individual attention, play sessions, or administering simple medications. All dogs receive daily exercise and loving care from our experienced staff.

Question 2

What vaccinations does my dog need before boarding?

Accepted Answer

All dogs must be current on Rabies, Distemper/Parvo (DHPP), and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations. We require proof of vaccinations before your pet's stay. Please bring vaccination records or have your vet send them to us at least 48 hours before check-in.

Question 3

Do you charge extra for playtime or meds?

No! At Circle Lake Ranch, playtime is included at no extra charge — we believe every dog deserves exercise and socialization. We also administer oral medications, ear drops, and eye drops at no additional cost. Just bring medications in their original containers with clear dosing instructions.

Question 4

What are your drop-off and pick-up hours?

Accepted Answer

We're open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, seven days a week. We are closed for drop-off and pick-up on all major holidays. We recommend arriving during business hours to ensure smooth check-in and allow time for your pet to settle in comfortably.

Grooming prices vary by breed, size, coat type, and service level. A bath-and-brush starts around $40 for small dogs, with full grooms including haircut, nail trim, and ear cleaning typically ranging from $60 to $120+. Call (281) 395-4567 for a quote specific to your dog.

Question 6

Do I need an appointment for grooming?

Question 7

Can my dog be groomed during a boarding stay?

Absolutely — many of our boarding guests get a bath or full groom the day before pickup so they head home looking and smelling great. Just request grooming when you reserve your dog's boarding stay and we'll schedule it during their visit.
