We use Pedigree and/or Purina pet foods unless otherwise provided and noted.  These dog foods are popular and work well with most diets.

What is the feeding schedule?
We feed your pets a hardy helping dog food in the morning and then if appears to be needed we will give your pet more in the evening.  We are also willing to work with you to insure that your pets feeding schedule and amount is followed just as it would be if they were at home.

What if my pet takes medication?
We will be happy to administer your medication with the exception of injections.

What if there is bad weather?
