Boarding and Day Care Services
What is interactive boarding? This is a program where dogs who don't know each other are allowed to play and live together in small groups under close supervision. Dogs are admitted to the South Paw Acres program only after passing a careful screening process.
Prices effective November 2012
Boarding
Per night (weekday, weekend or holiday):
- 1st dog: $38
- 2nd dog: $35
- Food: $2/meal
A 15% discount is offered for boarding beyond 14 consecutive days.
Doggie Day Care
Day Care services are offered Monday-Friday. 
Single Day Price (9-10 hours):
- $28/1st dog
- $25/2nd dog
Pre-Paid Day Care Multi-Packs
- 5 Visits: $135.00 ($27.00/visit)

- 15 Visits: $345.00 ($23.00/visit)
- 30 Visits: $630.00 ($21.00/visit)
Packages are good any week day within one year of purchase date. The more days you buy, the cheaper the daily rate. One package can be used for multiple dogs.
All dogs using the day care services must have a scheduled appointment for each visit to participate. Regular days of the week are recommended (i.e. every Wednesday), as a predictable routine is healthier for your dog.
All appointments need to be made at least 24 hours in advance, either by phone or e-mail. You need to have a response from South Paw Acres to be sure your dog is on the schedule before attending.
If a cancellation is necessary, 24 hour notice will not forfeit a pre-paid day care day on your multi-pack card.

Fees are based on the dog’s weight:
- 30 lbs. & under: $30
