FEEDING:
WE SERVE IAMS (GREEN BAG), IAMS LESS ACTIVE (BLUE BAG) & IAMS LAMB & RICE (RED BAG) DRY KIBBLE. If you pet eats something other than Iams, we suggest you bring your own food from home. A change in your dog's normal diet can cause stomach upset. We feed all pups in the morning. If your pet requires a 2nd feeding (in PM) per day, we can do that for an additional $1.00 per day. All pups get BISCUITS AT BEDTIME.
 
BUDDY SYSTEM SOCIALIZATION: Longview uses the"BUDDY SYSTEM" for single dog families. This means we will "buddy" your dog with another dog of like size, age, and personality in an indoor/outdoor run. To correctly buddy your pup, Longview requires a PRE-BOARDING INTERVIEW, to determine your dog's personality. Once determined, we can match him/her up with a single roommate of suitable gender, age, size and activity level. This helps make your pet's stay more enjoyable and may alleviate some of the separation anxiety your pet may experience. Dogs are pack animals by nature and like to have friends to stay with. The utmost care and attention is given to correctly matching dogs.  Many of our customers come to Longview strictly because we give this social opportunity to their dogs.

THE "BUDDY SYSTEM" & INTERVIEWS ARE FOR SINGLE DOG FAMILIES. Multiple dog families can board together in a run. Interviews and tours of the facility are Mon - Sat 10AM to 3PM. Please call first. (During peak boarding times, interviews/tours may be limited or suspended.)  Please limit the interview to adults only. Interviews take about 20 minutes. There is an extra charge if your dog requires single (Alone) boarding during peak boarding times. Longview reserves the right to refuse aggressive pets for boarding. Sorry but we cannot double Akitas, Rottweilers & Chows. We do not board American Stafforshire Terriers or Pitbull Terriers.

MEDICATIONS: Medications can be administered if needed. There is a $1.00 fee per day for any medications. Please bring all medications in their original containers with medication name & dose instructions. We carry Velvetta cheese, peanut butter, bread, Pill Pockets, and meaty food chunks to give pill form medication.

We RECOMMEND all dogs get a bath/grooming before pick up. Regardless of our many efforts to keep the runs clean, there are instances (rain, snow, playing with buddy, dumping their water bowl) where you dog can get a bit dirty. We have a professional groomer on site.
