Mission Statement
So, what's our mission? To provide safe, personal, specialized care to every furry family member of yours that has been entrusted into our care. And yes, PETS are FAMILY, even if some are bound and determined to be career escape artists. (Don't worry--we have plenty of affection for the troublemakers, too:)
The White Mountain K-9 Camp, LLC was opened in 2005, and was bought by us, the Lewis family, in 2008. We've operated this little gem from our on-site home ever since! Courtney, who is now fully in charge, has over 25 years of pet care experience, graduated from UC Davis and is now working her dream job.
Each Camper will be given the best possible care based on their individual needs. Different behaviors require different approaches. If we decide it is unsafe to rotate certain Campers into the play yards, etc., we're prepared to adjust the normal routine in order to ensure everyone's safety.
It is the K-9 Camp's policy to NEVER co-mingle, which means Campers from separate households will NOT be rotated into play yards together. They do, however, have indirect contact with neighbors through fencelines and the kennels--so it's still a pretty social place!

Boarding Requirements
Vaccinations
Canine Campers
The White Mountain K-9 Camp, LLC requires:
*Combination shot (DHLPP, DA2P, all other variations that include Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza)
*Rabies
While many, many boarding facilities have varying vaccination standards based on location, common local exposures, and other considerations, we're not big fans of over-vaccinating our family members. Therefore, based on our experience, we DO NOT require Campers to have the Bordatella vaccine/boosters.
Bordatella vaccines are optional, however, if you feel your four-legged kids should have extra protection, we do ask that the Camper receives it 3-5 days prior to their stay.
Kitty Campers
The White Mountain K-9 Camp, LLC requires:
*Combo shot (aka FVRCP)
*Rabies
be informed
Bordatella vaccines are highly ineffective and can actually cause the infection...similarly to the flu vaccine for humans. Administration of Bordatella vaccines can stress the immune system. If you would like to learn more, click below and scroll down to the quote from Ronald Schultz, PhD...
What A Happy Camp
Just a simple barn, eh? Nope!
Don't be fooled...there are more Campers expecting Courtney outside! Most Campers have a habit of running outside when they think she'll open the back door:)
About to be rotated into the play yards!
What a cool sight...natural light even with most doors closed!
Happy puppies and happy older kids alike!
Homeopathic Approach
Diatomaceous Earth
Oils for non-emergency first-aid
Oils for non-emergency first-aid
If you come in for a tour, or take another look at photos of our indoor section of the facility, you may notice a white powdery substance on the floor. It's called diatomaceous earth, a natural bug killer. We also use it to treat the soil in each play yard, and the kind we use is food-grade, so it is absolutely safe for Campers to be around!

Whether it's a little boo-boo on the nose, or another simple abrasion, we use natural products (human-grade) to administer first--for non-emergency situations. Melaleuca Gel is an equivalent of triple antibiotic ointment. Coconut oil is great for anything from dental discomfort to eye drops. Neem oil is an applicable bug deterrent and works well to repel flies.
Hot spots?

Not eating or drinking?
Each Camper will handle stress and/or allergies in their own way, despite all the affection we can give them here at K-9 Camp. Hot spots are first treated with used tea bags, then the area around them is trimmed, disinfected with a medicated shampoo, and treated with some Mela Gel.
Not eating or drinking?

Not eating or drinking?
Some customers start out by telling us their furry-kids have a hard time eating and/or drinking in a kennel setting. In our experience, juuuust a lil bone broth or milk can go a long way to add incentive for our more sensitive Campers to partake in their meals or to hydrate properly.

While most kennels may provide acceptable accommodations and facilities, the amount of interaction between Campers and humans is vital to reduce the effects of stress, separation, or learning to trust a new environment. That, as they say, is our specialty!
