💫  Please review the following company policies & safety regulations prior to your pup’s first stay at LHDC:

• No Harnesses or Flea Collars of any kind may be worn due to safety hazards. (This includes pedometers or any collar attachment whatsoever, besides a tag.) Please do NOT send dogs in harnesses! If your dog arrives in a flea collar or any type of collar attachment besides an ID tag, it will be removed & returned at check out.
• Only Quick Release (pinch to open) Collars are permitted. All dogs must be wearing one with an ID tag. No coats, harnesses, or clothing of any kind may be worn. 
• Dogs Must Arrive Leashed so they can be checked in & out safely. No exceptions.
• All Belongings Must be labeled with dog’s name. This includes leashes, food & meds.
•  Food Must Be individually portioned in ziplock bags for each meal. Please do not send large bags or containers of food. We do not have the storage space for this.
• Pet Medications Must be labeled with dog’s name & accompanied with clear, concise instructions.
• Overnight Guests Need their usual food sent with them. It’s crucial for dogs to remain on their normal diet to prevent stomach upset & digestive issues.
• Day Care Only Guests will not be given meals, so please do not send food for them. Please feed dogs at home before and after day care. (There are a couple  exceptions to this.)
• For Overnight Stays, the only items required to be packed are their normal food & any necessary medication. Please do not send food dishes. We have a large variety of them on site, including slow feeders.
• Any Dog Beds sent must be machine washable! We are not responsible for any bedding or toys that get chewed on or otherwise destroyed by our furry friends.
• Female Puppies Cannot attend during their heat cycle, which can last up to 6 weeks.
• Overnight Guests checking out after 10 a.m. on pick up day will be charged for day care.
• On Major Holidays, we do not accept reservations for day care only. We can accommodate only overnight requests during this busy time, as spots are quite limited.
• Discounted Packages are non-refundable, but in most cases are transferrable to another approved dog.
• Any Client Can be dismissed at any time at our discretion.
• All payments are required at drop off.
