Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Boarding

Do you offer boarding for anxious dogs?

Yes. We have an Anxious/Nervous Dog Package designed specifically for dogs that struggle with stress in new environments. It includes Dog Appeasing Pheromone (DAP) diffused in your dog’s room, a white noise machine, a comfort Kong, cuddle time with staff before bed, extra staff check-ins throughout the day, and a late-night check.

Can you board aggressive dogs?

We can accommodate many dogs that have been labeled “aggressive,” depending on the nature and context of the behavior. Dogs that are dog-reactive but handler-friendly, resource-guarders, or are simply anxious and defensive often do very well with us because we minimize the triggers that cause reactive behavior in the first place. This includes private cabins, individual yards, and no forced interaction with other dogs.

We evaluate each dog individually, so we encourage you to call us to discuss your dog’s specific history before booking.

What should I bring for my dog's boarding stay at Houston Dog Ranch?

We suggest bringing food, treats, blankets, toys, and anything to make your pup comfortable during their stay; however, nothing is required. We do not accept leashes, collars, bowls, tennis balls, or rope toys.

What are your check-in and check-out times?

Guests can check in anytime during business hours and check out anytime before 12:00 PM without incurring a late check-out fee.

What vaccinations does my dog need to board at Houston Dog Ranch?

For the safety of all guests, Houston Dog Ranch requires proof of current rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations before boarding.

Can I add bathing or spa services during my dog's boarding stay?

Yes! Spa treatments can be added to any boarding stay, so your dog goes home freshly washed and groomed. Visit our dog spa page to see all available services.
