Our Pet Resort is located on a beautiful 15 acres with plenty of trees and foliage for a peaceful & enjoyable stay. Our facility offers personalized, loving care for your pets. We treat all pets as if they were our own. Each pet is housed in spacious climate controlled suites, given two meals a day, and rotated out to the grassy play yards for daily exercise (time and weather permitting).
We clean and disinfect twice each day to ensure your pet has a clean safe area. Our staff carefully monitors behavior, including eating and restroom habits to ensure happy and healthy visitors. Should we feel your pet has a health concern, we will attempt to contact you. We will also contact the vet of your choice for a consultation over the phone. Should your vet or our staff feel a clinic visit is necessary; we will take your pet to one of the local clinics in the area and follow the advice of the veterinarian, including the purchase and administration of medicine. The pet owner is responsible for all clinic and medicine fees upon picking up your pet. We administer meds twice a day at no additional charge. Any needs beyond twice a day may incur an additional fee. Please inform our staff AND your vet if you have a monetary limit on treatment of your pet.

- Indoor Suites - range from 5x5 inside to 10x10 and larger play yards outside. Pet placement is solely based on the needs and behavior of the individual pets. We do not reserve specific suites for our clients. Generally, barkers are housed on one side, quieter pets on the other along with very quiet, elderly, and special needs pets. Pets may be moved around during their stay. While we would like to accommodate client requests in suite placement, our primary goal is the comfort of our guests. The indoor area is climate controlled and is maintained at a comfortable temperature for pets. Pets are closed in for the night and let out again first thing each morning.
Indoor Condos-Crates– are primarily used for cats, special needs pets, and overflow during peak seasons. Wire small suites are 2x4 and can easily accommodate, bedding, toys, and other pet items. Dogs housed in these indoor condos are released into one of the play yards several times each day for exercise. Crates and cages of varying sizes, such as those used in veterinary clinics are used during our peak season. Placement in these locations is strictly based on time of reservation and needs of the pets. All pets boarded in these areas get much more one on one attention from our staff and get additional yard time not available for those pets boarded in our larger suites. Because we never know the combination of pets we may have on any given night, we cannot guarantee that your pet will not be housed in an indoor only suite at some point during their stay. We hope that our clients understand that our concern is for our pets and we MUST do whatever is necessary to ensure the safety of our pets as well as our staff.

Doggie Day Care - For those of you with busy lives who feel your pet may not be getting all the exercise or attention they need, we offer affordable Doggy Day Care. Our program includes two playtime sessions with a group of compatible dogs in the large grassy yard, snacks at lunchtime, and an indoor suite for naptime. Our aussies and corgi’s, have wonderful dispositions, love making new friends, and may be added to the playgroup to increase the fun. Dogs who participate in our Doggie Day Care program must be spayed or neutered and must pass our behavior evaluation prior to group play. Reservations are recommended in order to ensure we have room available.
Grooming - We do not have a full service salon, but do offer specialty items for your pets grooming needs. Services we do include are baths, some haircuts, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing. A step-up from the average trip to the groomer. Lake Whitney Pet Resort offers personalized service for your pet. We do not use relaxers, anesthesia or restraints of any kind. Our pets are handled with care and are not rushed through the haircuts or manhandled into submission. We simply take our time, allow the pet to get comfortable with us and then provide an excellent haircut. Grooming dogs are also housed in an indoor suite for the day (space permitting). Time of pickup will be given at check in or by phone.

| Requirements and Extras - It is critical that pet owners study the facility to ensure that it is designed to meet the needs of their particular pet. Lake Whitney Pet Resort is not responsible for illness, accidents, escape, or death while standard operating procedures are being followed. It is the pet owner's responsibility to ensure that all questions are answered thoroughly in order to make an informed decision as to the safety and well being of their pets. It is also the owner's responsibility to inform our staff of any information regarding their pet pertinent to their care such as health issues, fence climbing, digging, etc. While we make every effort to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our guests, it is ultimately the owners who best know and understand the pet's behavior and health, therefore, in choosing our facility, you have determined that it is the best facility for your pet and you agree that our policies and procedures are acceptable in caring for your pets.
Healthcare - Owners are required to provide a copy of each pet's shot records. Vaccines should include Rabies within 3yrs, DHPP (distemper combo), and Bordetella (for Canine Cough) within 6 months for Dogs, Rabies & FVRCCP (feline combo) for cats within six months. Any deviation from these requirements MUST be in writing from your veterinarian, and a waiver must be signed by the pet owner. Because we care for a large volume of pets, we charge $1 per page to copy original records. Other small animals (hamsters, birds, etc.) need to have a written statement from a vet indicating pet is in good health or a waiver for all health issues will need to be signed.
Pets are also required to be on flea prevention such as Frontline or Advantage. We will automatically administer a monthly dose for an additional $15 fee. If fleas are apparent, we will need to give your pet an immediate flea treatment at the beginning of his stay for a fee of $10.00 and if fleas should persist, we will need to do a dip at a fee of $30. All pets should be in good health prior to boarding.
Special Needs - If your pet requires special needs due to age or health issues, we offer additional accommodations to assist you. For example, if your dog has recently had surgery and requires physical therapy several times a day or other constant monitoring, this poses a problem for most families who work during the day and cannot focus solely on the needs of their pet. As an alternative to missing work or the high price of kenneling your pet at the vet’s office, you may board your pet at our facility either for the day or overnight to ensure that his needs are met. Although we do not have office hours through out the day, we often have staff tending to the kennel and can make any necessary adjustments to assist your pet. Additional fees outside of the standard boarding rates may be assessed based on the needs and requirements of the individual pets.
