What can I bring for my dog?

We encourage owners to bring their dog’s own food from home to avoid upset stomachs that can be caused by introducing a new food. Please put pre-measured dog food in a clean, sealed plastic container labeled with the dog’s name. Toys and blankets are also welcome, however, Black Oak Boarding is not responsible for laundering items. Cots are provided for every guest.

No. These are two separate businesses, with separate facilities and staff.
