Acme Creek Kennels dog boarding services

All pets need to be current on Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella. Proof of vaccines are required! We strongly recommend that either the pet owner or the vet sends the pets vaccines to acmecreek@aol.com prior to starting any services. Vaccines must be given 7 days prior to any boarding. All vaccines must be given by a veterinarian. We do not accept owner-administered vaccines. 

An additional $5 per day is applied for intact males or females in heat. This is due to the increased supervision, management, and safety precautions required to maintain a calm and controlled environment for all guests. Extra care is needed to prevent stress, unwanted interactions, and behavioral changes that can occur in these situations. 

We highly recommend elderly dogs remain at home with a pet sitter if they are not a long time client. Boarding an elderly long time client is much different since they are used to our routines and the boarding concept. We are their extended family. If you are needing to board an elderly pet we will need to evaluate your pet first to make sure it will be a good fit.  All puppies and shelter dogs must be in your home for at least 3 weeks prior to boarding. All puppies must be at least 4 months old

To help keep your dog comfortable during their stay, we ask that all guests arrive with their own food for the duration of boarding. Sudden diet changes can lead to gastrointestinal (GI) upset, including diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and stomach discomfort. Keeping dogs on their normal diet helps maintain routine, supports digestive health, and makes their stay more enjoyable. If additional food is needed during your pet’s stay, replacement food may not match their regular diet. 

For the safety and cleanliness of all guests, we do not accept personal bedding from home. While familiar items can seem comforting, bedding can carry odors, stress triggers, or hidden parasites that may affect other pets in our care. We provide clean, sanitized bedding that is regularly washed and maintained to ensure a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment for every guest. This also helps reduce the risk of items being damaged, eaten, or causing digestive issues during a pet’s stay. Our goal is to keep every space clean, safe, and stress-free while still providing a comfortable resting environment for all dogs.

You can drop off and pick up anytime between our business hours. Charges start the day you drop off. If you pick up before 1pm Monday-Friday you will not be charged for that day. After 1pm you will incur another days board. SUNDAYS are a FULL DAY charge. 

Acme Creek accepts Cash, Check and Zelle. We do not take credit cards at this time! Payment is due upon pick up. 

With having a veterinary technician on site we can accommodate post surgical, chemo patients and pets with special needs. There maybe additional costs acquired. We do not accept pets with seizures . We feel that seizure pets should be kept at home or boarded at a vet clinic.  Please call us for any questions regarding  this.
