Admission
Proof of immunization is required for both dogs and cats. All guests will be examined for ectoparasites and must be bathed, if found positive. Dog and cat evaluations are strongly recommended, prior to boarding. Please either bring, fax or email your pet's vaccination records prior to pet arrival:
Tinton Falls: email tintonfalls@purrnpooch.com or FAX 732.842.2585
Wall Township: email wall@purrnpooch.com or FAX 732.528.3301
Arrival
Check-in is 12 pm. Please allow ample time to properly check-in.
Make the check-in time a happy time by staying calm and submitting your paperwork prior to arrival to minimize time spent checking in.
Pets can often sense our anxieties and will equate check-in as a negative action rather than a positive fun time.
We supply pets with our premium house cuisine
You may choose to provide your own food (at no additional charge)as long as each meal serving size is prepared in a separate plastic bag with your pet's name on it for the entire length of the stay. Try not to feed your pet a meal prior to check-in.
All bedding is laundered daily at Purr'n Pooch.
We supply all bedding, bowls, and toys. If you feel more comfortable bringing an item from home with your "scent" on it, you can bring an old t-shirt or towel to help with the transition.
Departure
After picking up your pet, please, do not offer food or water right away.
Most pets are very excited to return home and will gulp water or engulf food. This could trigger a digestive upset, such as diarrhea or vomiting. If your pet appears thirsty, offer a few ice cubes in a bowl.
Upon arriving home, your pet may experience the "Purr'n Pooch Hangover".
This state is the result of all the excitement, playing and fun they had while visiting us. It may be a day or two of relaxing and lounging around your home while they "recover" from their vacation at Purr'n Pooch.
Contact us with any questions about your pet's stay.
We will be happy to let you know in detail how your pet adjusted.

Daycare & Daystay
Social + Fun + Exciting. Animal behavior was a young science in the 1970s and many colleagues questioned why I would take such huge risks with the dogs, allowing them to play together while boarding at the Purr'n Pooch. Fifty years later, I am proud to see that doggie daycare has become a service accessible to pet owners across the country. Dick Palazzo ~ President, Purr'n Pooch Pet Resorts.
Let Your Dog Decide, Group or Private Play?
Not all dogs want group play and that is okay! We offer private play (daystay) with a team member for personal funtime.
While you relax knowing your pet is enjoying the day in good hands, your furry friend runs, plays, and exercises for a tiring and fun-filled day at the Pooch. If your dog enjoys socializing with other canine friends, we have group doggie daycare. Your pet is evaluated for temperament and placed in a group according to size, age, and disposition. Once there, our staff supervises group play, schedules appropriate time-outs, and organizes fun-filled activities.

"I brought Pedey, my 4-year-old Sato to Jamie for swimming lessons. Pedey likes water but was fearful of going out too far and swimming. Jamie worked closely with him to make him feel safe and confident in the water. He progressed nicely through the sessions with Jamie and I've seen great changes in him. I am always at ease when I bring Pedey to Purr n' Pooch and Jamie has made my experience even better!" Marissa Esposito
