Common Questions

Boarding FAQ

Everything you need to know before your dog's stay.

Check-in is available between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you need early drop-off or late pickup, just let us know when you reserve — we're flexible and happy to work with your schedule.

We recommend bringing:

  • Your dog's regular food (enough for the full stay, plus a little extra)
  • Any medications with dosage instructions
  • A favorite toy or blanket for comfort
  • Your vet's contact information
  • Leash and collar with ID tags

We provide bedding, water bowls, and treats. If you forget anything, don't worry — we have extras on hand.

For the safety of all dogs in our care, we require the following vaccinations to be current:

  • Rabies — must be up to date
  • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Parainfluenza)
  • Bordetella (kennel cough) — within the last 12 months

Please provide proof of vaccinations when booking. If your dog isn't up to date, your vet can usually get them sorted out quickly.

We welcome all friendly, well-socialized dogs — not just Goldens! As long as your dog is comfortable around other dogs and people, they're welcome at Silver Butte. We do ask that dogs be spayed/neutered unless they are part of an active breeding program.

Yes, we require a $50 non-refundable deposit to hold your reservation ($100 for stays of one week or longer). The deposit is applied toward your total boarding fee. Payment for the remaining balance is due at check-in. We accept Zelle, Venmo, cash, and check.

Your dog's safety is our top priority. If an emergency arises, we'll contact you immediately and transport your dog to the nearest emergency vet clinic. We ask for your vet's contact information and emergency authorization at check-in so we can act quickly if needed.
