Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical nightly rate for boarding a dog in Ava, Illinois?

In Ava, you can expect to pay between $25 and $40 per night for standard dog boarding. The price often depends on the dog's size and whether you choose a private suite or a standard kennel. For comparison, rates for cats are generally lower, typically around $20 per night.

What unique amenities do Ava boarding facilities offer for my pet's comfort?

Many local kennels in Ava provide climate-controlled indoor/outdoor runs so pets can enjoy fresh air safely. Some facilities also offer one-on-one play sessions in secure yards, which is a great benefit given the rural setting. It's always best to ask about daily exercise routines specific to the facility you are considering.

What are the specific vaccination requirements for boarding in Ava?

Virtually all reputable boarding facilities in Ava require proof of current Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations for dogs. For cats, FVRCP and Rabies are standard. It's a good idea to have your vet in or near Ava update these records a few weeks before your pet's stay.

What personal items should I pack for my pet's stay at an Ava kennel?

You should bring your pet's regular food to avoid stomach upset, any necessary medications with clear instructions, and their up-to-date vaccination records. While most Ava facilities provide bowls and bedding, a familiar item like a t-shirt with your scent can help ease their anxiety in a new environment.

How does the rural location of Ava impact your boarding services and policies?

Our location in rural Ava means we have established protocols for severe weather and have a trusted relationship with a local veterinarian for any urgent care needs. We also recommend booking early for peak travel times around holidays, as we are one of the primary boarding options serving the Ava community and surrounding areas.
