There is a $2.00 per day fee to feed food from home, as well as Purina Pro Plan En Gastroenteric (sensitive stomach) and Natural Balance fish and potato (low allergen). Armadale requires that food from home be packaged in Ziplock-type baggies, 1 meal per bag. All medications must be brought in with the original pill bottles with label. Pills may not be mixed in with dry food packages.  There is a per-dose fee for all medications, supplements, topical treatments, and eye/ear care and medicating.

Bedding

We can provide bedding at the kennel. We ask that you do not bring any items from home, besides treats and chew bones. Upon request, orthopedic cots are available for dogs with hip problems or arthritis.

Tours And Check-Ins

We welcome you to come for a tour of our facility before your pets scheduled stay (we will ask you to say your farewells in the lobby at the time of drop-off).  Please allow 10-15 minutes at check-in to fill out an admission form and any other necessary paperwork needed for drop-off and discuss with the admissions staff any issues your pet may have.
