TBCR frequently asked questions

Boarding, daycare and spa care

What are the overnight boarding rates?

For nights 1–10, the first dog is $52 per night and the second dog from the same household is $45 per night. From night 11 onward, those rates are $45 and $40. The first ten nights retain their standard rates. Three or more dogs require an individual quote. View boarding details.

Can any dog attend ongoing daycare?

Daycare is by approval only. New clients cannot book daycare alone; participation must include at least the agreed Daycare & Train or Board & Train program. Continuing daycare after training and occasional daycare for prior clients remain subject to approval. All boarding dogs attend daycare and participate in daycare activities during their stay. Program suitability and availability are reviewed individually.Read about structured daycare.

What does structured daycare cost?

Structured Dog Daycare is $40 per day for up to ten hours, with $5 per additional hour after ten hours. The training prerequisite and individual fit still apply. Appropriate daytime activities for boarding guests are part of their boarding stay rather than a separately billed daycare day. Explore daycare.

Can I book a standalone spa appointment?

Spa services and packages are available only as add-ons to a qualifying TBCR daycare, boarding or training reservation. Individual services can be selected à la carte instead of a full spa package. Standalone spa appointments are not available. Explore spa add-ons.
