We promise pet owners full disclosure of all circumstances related to their pet's stay with us. We will work with you to ensure the most positive experience for your pet, and the least worrisome separation for you.

Our Story

Jennifer, Samantha and I (Chris) have always had dogs and cats in our lives. To us these furry friends are more than that, they are family, constant companions. This is the passion & love that we bring to Possumplace. Having purchased the kennel in 2022, we look forward to continuing the proud legacy that Bill & Maria have created.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at possumplacedogs@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Are the dogs kept in cages all day?

No, our dogs are inside to eat and sleep only, bedtime is around 7:00 pm. The rest of the time they are in their outdoor covered run (with their buddy) or in the play field. Essentially your dogs are outside from 7 am till 7 pm.

How big is the sleeping area and the out door run?

The individual indoor runs for eating and sleeping are 36 sq feet. The outdoor runs which are shared with up to one buddy are 120 sq feet, they are fully covered and have skylights and ventilation fans. The play field is approximately 1 acre.

What vaccinations do you require?

Cats: Rabies, Panleucopenia, Calici Virus and Rhinotracheitis
Dogs: Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza), Leptospirosis and Bordetella.

Please provide your pet's vaccination records to us before their stay.

Will my dog come home dirty?

All our boarders partake in our maintenance program which is done at arrival day, departure day, weekly, and if other occasions necessitate it. Maintenance regimen is listed below. Ears and eyes are cleaned, they are brushed, a coat conditioner is applied, we attempt to clip nails (positive experience only, we do not use muzzles).

Why wont you muzzle to clip nails?

We want your dog to have a positive experience with us.

Why weigh the dogs?

When you see a dog all day, every day, it is harder to notice weight gain/loss, especially for longer stays. Weekly weigh ins help us adjust feedings to keep our boarders at their optimal weight.

What if it is too cold/hot outside?

The indoor portion of the kennel is equipped with central air conditioning and heating. Our outdoor runs are equipped with roof mounted ventilation fans to circulate the outside air. Our outdoor runs have thermometers to help us monitor temperature. If any dog seems uncomfortable in the summer we bring them in where it is nice and cool, once comfy we bring them back out. Conversely in winter the outdoor run walls are covered with a thick layer of builders plastic. This prevents wind and snow from entering the runs while still permitting light in. Again, if any dog looks cold when we do our 30 minute walkabout we bring them in to warm up.

When do dogs eat and get water?

Breakfast is 8ish, Dinner is 4ish, there is fresh water in the outdoor runs and play fields all day long.

How often is water changed?

Water filled daily, buckets washed and changed every 3 days, or when a new boarder arrives ( whichever comes first). Water policy "If I won't drink it neither should my dogs"

Why the 30 minute walk-around?

We walk around all our outdoor runs to maintain the following standards, clean drinking water, clean blanket, good stool condition, regular temperament of our boarders, temperature in runs, if any of these items is not to our comfort level we correct it.

What is my pet needs veterinary are while boarding?

We have a vet on call 24/7.

When you pick up and deliver are the dogs loose in the van?

No, every dog is transported in the appropriate sized kennel. This is for their safety.

Does it get hot/cold in the back of the van with all the dogs?

No, the van is equipped with heating and air conditioning.

Why do you require a confirmation call/ email from us to deliver back?

We understand that things happen when travelling, we need to know you are actually back home. That way we save the dog from unnessesary travel. If you arrive at 2am, call and leave a message. If we dont hear from you we will not be delivering your dog that day.

What form of payment do you accept?

Cash, Check or Interac email transfers to possumplacedogs@gmail.com

Your rates are per calendar day, what does that mean?

You are charged for the day your dog or cat arrives and leaves regardless of time of day. IE. Arrives Monday ( any time of day), and, leaves Tuesday (any time of day), you are charged for 2 calendar days + H.S.T.

Why is the tax 13%?

Our side of the street is Ontario, hence we charge HST
