If your dog has something that is contagious or that could possibly be contagious (for example, if your dog is coughing, has a runny nose or is sneezing), do not bring your dog to Ruff Housing until your veterinarian has confirmed that they are no longer a risk to other dogs. You may be asked to provide a statement from your veterinarian confirming that it is safe for us to admit your dog. But, because we have a large number of staff members available all day and also overnight attendants who can handle potty breaks or medication during the night, Ruff Housing can be a great place for dogs who have non-contagious medical needs, such as dogs that are blind or deaf. It is important to keep in mind that there are other dogs in the facility. So if your dog has a compromised immune system or other health issues, you should discuss your plans with your veterinarian before deciding to board them in any facility. Remember, Ruff Housing cannot be held responsible if your dog becomes ill during or after their stay. For more information see the Dog Health and Safety section of our website.
