Evaluation Process
The Ruff House requires an evaluation (meet & greet) with each dog upon registering for daycare and/or boarding because the safety of our animals is our priority.
Our evaluation process includes:
-
A brief wellness check
-
Response to staff touch and interaction
-
Response to other dogs, varying in breed, size, and activity level
-
Reaction to an open play environment
-
Comfort level in crate
-
Overall observation
Evaluations are done by appointment only Monday through Friday. Please contact us to schedule a meet & greet.
