SLEEPOVERS:
Active K9 offers limited sleepovers to clients whose dogs qualify for VIP status. When a client and their dog(s) start a program with us, whether enrolling in Montessori Dog School, attending Group Class or participating in one of our Training Courses, they instantly become a member of our pack. Loved, protected and cared for.
To extend that care and take advantage of our Sleepover opportunity we ask that the following requirements be met.

Our guests become a part of the family during their Sleepovers, enjoying the privilege of joining my dogs in the house with access to the VIP yard via doggy door. They will participate in school recesses and activities, depending on their skill level will be spoiled further with attention while being an Office Dog. Sleepover dogs may also enjoy the adventure of a good hike and the bragging rights of being Demo Dog for lessons and group classes.
WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING? & HOW TO PACK IT
KIBBLE:
For our dry and wet food feeding clients we have established a few guidelines that we find helpful in both ensuring your dog is fed the best quality of kibble and that his or her food is packed appropriately.
We do not allow the following brands of kibble to be fed to Active K9 dogs.
• Science Diet
• Purina
• Iams
• Eukanuba
Steps to packing your dogs meals for Sleepovers:
1. Separate each serving size into plastic baggies.
2. Label each baggie if necessary (i.e. breakfast vs dinner or days of the week).
3. Pack all baggies into a labeled (Dog's First & Last Name) carrier. Think reusable grocery bag.
4. Include instructions if necessary (such as "add 1/2 cup water").
5. Leave the bowl at home! We have plenty of bowls here at Active K9.
RAW:
Package each raw meal per the instructions above. Meals can be frozen for before your reservation to be stored and then defrosted by us.
We offer raw meals for $3 a meal for our Sleepovers to clients who's dogs are fed a Raw Diet. Dogs enjoying our meal program will eat the same menu as my pack. Chicken, Beef, SoJos and much more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The benefits of a Raw Diet are numerous. The biggest effect your dogs diet choice has on his/her stay with us is the amount of time it takes to clean up after them. Kibble fed dogs simply poo more. While poop-detail is never high on anyones favorite list once you have fed Raw you will appreciate the difference. Therefore we have decided to reward our raw feeding clients.

MEDICINE NEED TO KNOW:
While we do not mind giving dogs their needed prescriptions please keep the following in mind if you will be packing medicines.
1. NO CEPHALEXIN: Jon is highly allergic to this particular antibiotic. Please ask your vet for an alternative medicine.
2. Let us know! Please let us know when BOOKING your appointment (or as soon as you are aware) that your dog will need medicine administered during their stay. Thank you.
3. Depending on the instructions for administering your dogs medicine there may be an additional charge.

DROP OFF & PICK UP PROTOCOL:
Thankfully due to the home environment of our Sleepovers we are happy to accommodate a wide range of availability. From early drop off before morning flights or late night pick ups for those that can't wait to see their furry babies we are happy to accommodate when we can. Below are a few guidelines to follow for the best success.
DROP OFF:
You may arrange for a drop off time anytime before 4:00pm. The 4 o'clock cut off allows your dog time to run about and settle in before our evening routine.
We find the best Sleepovers start with dogs getting tucked into a school room. Whether they are joining a school nap or only hanging there for a moment we find they relax thanks to their comfort in this pattern. This system also works well for times when you may need to drop off without an Active K9 member here (say a Sunday morning at 7:00am). The dogs do so well with a consistent pattern.
PICK UP:
The most convenient times to pick up are Monday - Friday either 8:00am-9:00am or 5:00pm-6:00pm as we are all ready prepped for school parents arrivals. However if you need to pick up your dog outside of Montessori Dog School hours you may due so by prearranging a specified time.
For both drop off and pick up it is best to send a "We are on our way" text. This way we can plan to meet you in the office or give you instructions on how to make the best of the timing. You may reach us at 435-901-4349.
