Daycare reservations are required, however, if you forget feel free to call to see if we have space.
Enrollment is required for all dogs attending daycare or overnight stays. To enroll your dog you must fill out the enrollment forms provided on-line and your dog must be approved after an on-site evaluation. There is a $10 fee (per dog) which includes a full-day of daycare the day of the evaluation. Your dog must stay a minimum of 3 hours to complete our evaluation process. We can suggest plenty of places in historic Tremont to visit during the consultation. We have a complete guide to Tremont including a map at our facility.
Evaluations are done by appointment only, so please call ahead. Once you have completed the forms, and obtained the shot records from your vet, call 216.621.MUTT to schedule the evaluation.
TOURS OF THE MUTT HUTT FACILITY
We realize that it’s important for you to see where your dog is spending its day. We pride ourselves in having a controlled and quiet pack of dogs at all times. Having “strangers” (you) walk through our doors can upset the dogs and can erupt into a doggy dispute. Therefore, we offer tours by appointment only on Saturdays between 9 AM and Noon or Monday –Thursday after hours at 6:30 PM. During the tour, you will get a peak into the indoor play area, a look at the back yard where we have a 12’x4’ pool and plenty of play equipment, a quick look at our grooming salon and a view of the evaluation area where your dog will be on his or her first day. The overnight stay area is located in the loft of the building and consists of an open floor plan with a kitchenette, bathroom, staff bedroom, couches, dog beds, and living area – much like a home.

EVALUATION APPOINTMENT
1. Have your vet records in front of you before you call The Mutt Hutt to make an apointment. Be sure to see if your dog is up to date on rabies, distemper and bordetella. If your dog is not up to date please have them be seen by a veterinarian before the scheduled evaluation date and bring a copy of the records with you.
2. Call 216-621-6888 and speak with one of our staff members. Allow about 5-10 minutes to go over some of your important details about your dog. Please have your vets name handy as we may need it to schedule the evaluation should you not have verification of vaccinations.
3. If you do not have copies of your pets records we will call your veterinarian and then confirm your appointment. All dogs must be current on the required vaccinations to enter the building. This is for the safety of all the dogs that attend daycare and overnights at "The Best" facility in Cleveland.

VERIFYING VACCINATIONS
Bring proof of vaccinations from your vet or have the vet fax the vaccination records to 216-373-4902. Before your dog enters of facitliy you must provide proof from their vet that they have been vaccinated against:
Distemper/Parvo (DHLPP) Vaccination
Rabies Vaccination
Bordetella Injection*
We are more than happy to call your vet ourselves if you do not have the records.
Puppies require at least two rounds of distemper-parvo shots. All dogs must wear flea protection between April and November. Flea collars are not acceptable, please use a topical flea preventative. We recommend K9 Advantix.
*In many cases the bordetella vaccination is optional during your dogs exam but we require your dog receives this annual booster at least 72 hours before they visit the facility. We highly recommend you also do a 6-month nasal bordetella vaccination as well which helps prevent Canine Cough. Dogs that are not socialized with other dogs, dog parks, vets offices, pet stores have a higher chance of contracting Canine Cough. Please consult your veterinarian should you have questions about this when boarding your dog. |

EVALUATION
Because we are a cage-free facility we require that all dogs over the age of 5 months come in for an evaluation. Evaluations are done by appointment only and we limit the number of dogs we take in each day for an evaluation so we can focus on your dog. At the evaluation we will need you to bring the the completed forms, proof of vaccinations and your dog. Because most of the dogs attending are very tired by the days end, we do not conduct evaluations after 11:00 AM. There is a $10 fee (per dog) to enroll and that includes a full-day of daycare the day of the evaluation. Your dog must stay a minimum of 3 hours to complete our evaluation process.
During your dogs evalution you will meet our front desk staff person who will introduce you to the morning Crew Leader either Todd or Casey who will be introducing your dog to our pack. Your will have the opportunity to speak with our staff about any issues your dog has and then we will take them on a lead to the daycare floor. Your dog will be in controlled by a Pack Leader until we know they are 100% comfortable with their new friends. Once they are ready they will be released to the pack to enjoy their day of exercise and socialization.
Dogs that do not attend daycare or overnights after a six-month period are subject to a second evaluation. The second evaluation cost is $10 and your dog is welcome to stay for up to 2 hours.

PLAY & HAVE FUN!
As soon as your dog successfully completes the evalution they are officially enrolled at our facility and you can bring them as often as you like. We do ask that you call ahead for daycare reservations just to be sure we have room on our roster as we do limit the number of dogs per day. We always require advance notice for boarding reservations. If you have any specific questions please call us at 216-621-6888 or send an email to our front desk.

Being a responsible pet owner is important to us. Therefore, we request BUT DO NOT REQUIRE that your dog be registered with the Cuyahoga County Auditor (residents of Cuyahoga County). To obtain a yearly license ($20) you may get the forms at several locations or register your dog on-line. Click here for more information. Be sure to share with us your dogs license number so we have it on file. |
