Every new client gets one free night of boarding or two free days of daycare for a single dog. There is no catch. Really. No additional purchase is required.   We want you and your dog to be comfortable at Hip Hounds and giving you a risk-free way to do that has worked out great for us.

No. Because of the way our facility is set up (see diagram and pics here) any dog not in a group has a direct sight line to the groups of dogs and, for some dogs, this can be very stressful. Our focus has always been group play and dogs than can’t be in groups tend to be pretty miserable here. 

We are aware of the medical benefits of waiting to neuter for some breeds. We respect your decision to listen to your vet’s advice and wait to neuter. Our concerns surrounding neutering at six months are purely behavioral and neutering that early may not be an option for all dogs.  

If your dog is boarding for an extended stay, we recommend purchasing a 10 or 20 night boarding pass. The 10 night pass is a 10% discount off our regular nightly rate and the 20 night pass is a 20% discount off our regular nightly rate. 

Yes. While we can usually give a tour any time we're open, it's best to call or text us before you come by in case we're super busy and can't accommodate.  We try to keep our tours of the play areas brief because seeing strangers can be a bit over-stimulating for the dogs. It's especially hard to accommodate drop-in tours on Fridays & Saturdays. 

No. We recommend The Dog Alliance as a great training resource. 

No. If your dog isn’t picked up from daycare by the time we close, they will be fed and boarded overnight and you will be asked to pay the boarding charge for the night. We do not offer drop-offs outside of our regular business hours. Everyone’s time is valuable and we stand by our fair but firm policies. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

We do not have any breed restrictions.
