General Boarding Information & Requirements

 Basic boarding is the daily care of your pet and their suite. All pets are housed in cages, runs, or suites and are allowed to exercise in runs a minimum of twice daily, or a yard, depending on the style of boarding you are choosing for your pet. Each day your pets sleeping quarters are cleaned and any bedding will be tidied up and cleaned if needed. "Room Service" provides your pet with your chosen meal along with T.L.C. and any medication that may be needed. All of our facilities indoors are air-conditioned and heated to provide constant comfort for your pet all year round. 

We do not accept diabetic dogs or cats as they don't do well with boarding. If you have a diabetic pet and are in a need of boarding, please call the Ballston Spa Veterinary Hospital.

Oral medications that can be given with your pets meal are given at no extra charge.  However, if your pet needs to be "pilled", needs ear medication, eye medication or topical medication, there will be a nominal fee of $2.00 per administration.

All dogs are fed Eukanuba Low Residue.  If you would like to bring your own food, please supply an ample amount for their stay.  Do not bring a 30# bag of food for a 2 day stay.  It is appreciated when you can pre-portion each meal in separate baggies.

Vaccinations Required for Boarding
Dogs must be current on the following vaccinations prior to admittance into the resort:  Distemper (DHLPP), Rabies, and Kennel Cough (Bordetella).  All pets must be vaccinated for Distemper and Rabies PRIOR TO ARRIVAL into our facility as they require a veterinarians administration.  If for any reason your pet needs to be vaccinated for Kennel Cough, this can be done at the time of drop off.  However it is highly recommended that the vaccination be given at least 1 week prior to arrival for full effectiveness.  The Kennel Cough vaccination is required every 6 months.

 
What is Kennel Cough?

Kennel Cough is a highly contagious respiratory infection in dogs similar to the human cold. This virus causes inflammation in the lining of the upper airway. The symptoms include a dry spastic cough, runny nose or eyes, and in some cases a slight temperature. These symptoms can last from a few days to a few weeks. Kennel Cough is passed around in grooming shops, kennels, vet offices, etc., basically anywhere dogs come into contact with each other.
This virus has to be brought into the Manor by someone's dog, and the virus is air borne. Thus it is very easily spread. This virus takes five to ten days to incubate, so sometimes the pet has gone home before the symptoms show up.
By insisting that every dog have the Bordetella vaccination, we are doing what we can to help keep the virus away from the facility. However, the vaccination is only 70% effective as there are many strains of "Kennel Cough" and we regret that we cannot 100% guarantee that your pet will not contract "Kennel Cough". We clean daily with products designed to eliminate this virus.
We highly recommend that this vaccination be given to your pet before he or she arrives at the Manor as it takes approximately 3 days to take full effect. This is especially important for puppies and pets that have never had the vaccination.

Standard Boarding
All pets are boarded indoors at night in cages (approximately 3'x3'x2') or runs (8'x3' and 4'x3') depending on the size of the pet and how many pets we have boarding at that time. The cages are constructed of metal on the back and 2 sides and a door on the front. Each cage has a grate on the bottom which keeps the pet clean in the event he/she needs to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The runs are constructed of solid plastic 3 feet up from the floor and chain link on the upper 3 feet. All of the runs have a plastic bed that can be lowered for your pet. All of the regular dog boarders are rotated outside into our outdoor runs during the day. The time they spend outdoors depends on the weather on that day. During the cold months, all pets are rotated into the outdoor runs to go to the bathroom and then brought back indoors. During the warmer months, all of the dogs can remain outdoors if the weather is appropriate. Most of our outdoor runs are 14 feet long by 4 feet wide and are constructed of chain link fencing that extends all the way to the ground. This allows all of the dogs to see one another, but to remain separate from each other. Some of the outdoor facilities are covered by a roof, so in the event of rain or snow, they can still remain outdoors for a short period during the day. The main difference between the regular boarding and the other 2 styles of boarding is that these dogs rely on the staff to bring them indoors and outdoors. They do NOT have free access to go in or out when they want to. This area is air conditioned in the summer and heated through forced air heat in the winter (i.e. floors are NOT warm). The floors are concrete.  Belongings may be brought with your pet for their stay, however we ask that anything that is brought be machine washable, i.e. not king size quilts or extra large dog beds. These belongings stay indoors at all times. When the pets go outside they do not have any of their bedding or toys.
 

In the event that your pet is extremely nervous, shy, doesn't want to be touched, nippy, etc, the staff may use their discretion and move your pet to one of our Indoor/Outdoor Guillotine runs.  In this case, the charge for their stay will be the same as the Indoor/Outdoor Suites.

Holiday Deposit Policy

For REGULAR BOARDING -- Milton Manor requires deposits for all peak periods for new clients. We may also require that certain clients pay a deposit based on previous boarding occurrences. We have found with previous holidays, especially Thanksgiving, that many clients have waited for a spot to board their pets, but either some of our clients cancel at the last minute or we have clients not show up at all. This makes it very difficult to fill these vacancies. Thus our policy will be:
A deposit of $50 for each reserved spot will be required for each peak period. Until the deposit is received, the reservation is not confirmed and may be given to someone else. If the reservation is canceled by the cancellation date, one week prior to your scheduled drop off date, your deposit will not be used. If the reservation is cancelled after the cancellation date, the deposit is lost completely. All deposits will be charged on the cancellation date.
Deposit may be made by giving us a credit card over the phone or by coming into Milton Manor and paying the deposit in person.

For IN/OUT & LUXURY SUITES -- Milton Manor requires deposits year round. During the school season, when the kids are in school, there will be a $50 deposit required for all spots reserved. Same rules apply as regular boarding policy. During peak seasons and summer vacation a $75 deposit will be required for all spots reserved.
 
QUESTION: HOW AM I CHARGED FOR MY PETS STAY? WHAT IS A DAY?

 

CHECKOUT TIME IS 12 NOON

Milton Manor always charges for the day that your pet arrives regardless of the time that you bring your pet in. YOUR RESERVATION DATE IS DAY #1.
If your pet is picked up by noon, you are not charged for the departure morning. IF YOUR PET STAYS LATER THAN OUR MORNING CHECK OUT TIME, YOU ARE CHARGED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THAT DAY.
EXAMPLE: If you drop off your pet on Saturday at 8:00AM and pick up on Sunday at 11:00AM, THIS IS CONSIDERED 1 DAY. However if you drop off on Saturday at 5:00PM and pick up on Sunday at 3:00PM, THIS IS CONSIDERED 2 DAYS.
WE BASE OUR CHARGING ON A HOTEL SYSTEM.
