🐾 Pet Feeding Instructions for Boarding at The Bark Club 🐾

To ensure your pup has a safe, comfortable, and happy stay, please follow our feeding guidelines:

1. Personal Belongings

• We do not accept personal belongings.

• Please only send food and medication.

• We provide beds, blankets, dishes, and everything your pup needs during their stay.

2. Why Pre-Portioning is Important

Pre-portioning your pet’s food before boarding is essential for their health and safety:

• Ensures each pup receives the correct amount at each meal.

• Prevents overfeeding or underfeeding, which can cause digestive upset or weight issues.

• Helps staff maintain a smooth, stress-free feeding schedule for all dogs.

• Allows us to quickly and efficiently serve meals, reducing wait times and minimizing food-related stress during group meals.

3. Dry Food

• All dry food must be pre-portioned per meal, per dog.

• Clearly label each portion with your dog’s name and AM/PM meal.

• If your dog free feeds, please pre-portion meals as above. We will leave un-eaten food with them throughout the day.

• Dogs staying 30 days or longer do not need to pre-portion their food.

4. Canned or Fresh Food

• Canned, fresh, or refrigerated food may be sent in cans or original packaging.

• Pre-portioning is not required for these foods.

5. Treats

• Treats may be sent in one bag or divided between meals, whichever is easiest for you.

6. Medications

• All medications must be sent in their original containers.

• Clearly label all medications with instructions for administration.

7. Storage & Bags

• If you would like your food bag returned, or if you are a frequent boarder, we recommend using reusable bags.

Thank you for following these guidelines! Properly prepared meals help us maintain a smooth, safe, and stress-free feeding routine for your pup while they enjoy their stay. 🐕💛
