Boarding
Policies
NOTE: Due to new Kennel Permit Standards just released by Los Angeles Animal Services, starting July 1, 2010, all dogs that board with us MUST have the following on file at K9s Only:

- Spay/Neuter Verification

All dogs welcome!
K9s Only welcomes dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. If your dog is social with others, he will be put into a play group a minimum of four times during the day and allowed to play in our free-range indoor/outdoor dog park. If your dog is not social with others, we offer additional private play yards where they can enjoy play time with a staff member or relaxation time on a cozy dog bed.
Vaccinations and Flea Treatment
All dogs must be current on vaccinations and in good health. If your dog appears to exhibit symptoms of illness at the time of check-in, we will be unable to accept the dog for boarding.

All dogs must also be current on flea treatment (Frontline, Advantage, etc.). Pets that enter the facility with fleas or ticks will be bathed and given flea treatment at the owner's expense.
Personal Belongings
K9s Only provides bedding for dogs that board with us. We additionally provide bowls, treats and toys. We prefer that you do not bring personal items as we cannot guarantee their condition upon check-out.
Feeding/Medication
K9s Only provides Wellness brand dog food for all dogs boarding with us as well as fresh cooked stews for an extra fee. Owners are encouraged to bring their own brand of dog food as most dogs are sensitive to sudden dietary changes. If bringing your own food, please provide ample food for your dogs entire stay. We do ask that food bags be no larger than 20 lbs. and multiple bags are acceptable.
We feed on your dog's schedule whether he is fed once or twice a day. We give prescribed pill medication at no charge. Specialized medical treatment may incur a $5 per treatment cost. There is also a $5 per day fee for specially cooked meals or raw food diet.
Check-In/Check-Out
Our hours are Monday - Friday from 7am - 7pm and on Saturdays from 8am - 6pm. We are closed on Sundays and holidays. Check-in time is after noon. Check-out time is before noon. Dogs leaving after noon are subject to a $20 day boarding fee.
Early/Late Check-Out
There is a $20 fee for picking up your dog after noon check-out. We do not check dogs out after 7pm Monday-Friday or after 6pm on Saturday. Pick up on Sunday is not available.
Payment
K9s Only accepts Visa, Discover, Mastercard and Cash. Payment is due upon check-out. If owner is unable to make payment, the pet is held at the owner's expense until such time as the owner can provide payment.
Pick-up by Non-Owner
K9s Only will not release any pet to anyone other than the owner unless prior arrangements are made. In this case payment is required at check-in. Non-owners will need to show ID at pick-up.
Cancellation Policy
During non-holidays, we require a minimum notice 48 hours before your check-in date or 50% of the original boarding fee is required as payment. During holidays, we require a 5 day minimum notice before your check-in date or 50% of the original boarding fee is required as payment. ANY reservation that fall over a holiday is considered a holiday reservation, and therefore requires 5 days notice. (i.e. If you are booked December 20- December 30, you would need to cancel your reservation by December 15th as your reservation falls over a holiday.)For further clarification, please call and speak with one of our receptionist or managers.
Changes in date/Failure to pick-up
If your dog is picked up prior to original check-out date, and you do not contact us, you are responsible for payment through the original date. If your dog is not picked up on the scheduled check-out date, and you do not contact us, there is a $100 per day fee. After 14 days, dog is considered abandoned. (Find out more information about California's Animal Abandonment Law.) K9s Only will report any abandoned animal immediately and take appropriate action if not contacted by the owner within the allowed time frame.
