New message January 7, 2012:
We are presently using
a manual answering machine, after numerous months of issues with Verizon we have decided to make a change. However,
we have noticed that it will only record one call at a time. So, if you call our number and it rings and rings- someone
is leaving a meassage. Please call us back or you can now use the attached form to make your boarding requests.
You can book several dates on the SAME form just remember to give us the one hour drop off and pick up times (please)
we will call all faxed requests (804-795-5983) to confirm the dates
and times. Thank you for your patience!

boarding and grooming for printable price list and online information.
During the summer it is NOT uncommon for us to be booked
weeks in advance. Please call us as soon as you have an idea of your travel itenerary. Whenever we are full
we do have a waiting list for those who book last minute....so it NEVER hurts to call and check for availability and/or cancellations
or modifications in travel plans.
New
Clients: Please follow these directions (or existing clients with new pets/moved since last visit)
1. Please fill out the Boarding Agreement (page 1 & 2) found on our
Forms TAB
2. Current shot records to include:
Bordatella, Distemper, Rabies and it is also helpful for them to be on flea and heartworm preventative. **with the high
temperatures this summer and dry heat it is imperative that you NOT wait to the last minute to get your bordatella. Nita has been in contact with her vet cases are already showing up in 2011 for bordatella and other illnesses
that mimic-the symptoms of bordatella. If your vet does the bordatella twice a year, it is also recommended that you
alternate the intranasal and the injected bordatella. They both cover different strains, very much like a flu shot each
year the mixture is different. These are suggested guidelines to follow. It can take anywhere from 48-72
hours + to reach protection. So, it is NOT in the best interest of your pet to do it the day before you come or the
day of your drop off. If you do not have a current copy please contact YOUR Vet and ask then to fax it to us at:
804-795-5983.
3. Please fax (preferred) the
boarding agreement and shots ahead of your stay. Recently, we have had new clients come to drop off and are missing
either shot records or their agreement. If we do not have
all of the required information WE CANNOT KEEP YOUR PET. There are no exceptions to this- per management.
4. We feed pedigree dry dog food as part of our program. If you
would prefer to continue what you are currently feeding them please by all means bring it. As well as any treats/toys/blankets
or bedding you would prefer.
5. We also need to know
if your pet has any special needs (prescriptions/storm sensitivities/intact/private yards).
6. When calling the kennel to establish your reservation we need the following: All requests must be handled @ 804-795-5933
a. Your name, your pets' name, weight, breed, age, spay/neuter/intact, social or behaviors
we should know about.
Also include your drop off date
and pick up date including a 1 hour window for when we should expect you. (ex. 10-11 or 530-630)
b. To make drop off quicker: tell me about your feeding instructions (on how often
your pet is fed/how much at a time/and if you
will be providing
food or if pedigree is fine) or any medications we will need to administer.
7. We offer several grooming options are available on your pick up day. Our signature baths
are the rave and designed to best enhance your pets special needs: hypo-allergenic, conditioners, coat brighteners, and more
will leave you smiling for days. We can also do ear cleaning, nail clipping, and more...just ask us ahead.
If you are scheduled for a bath and decide to pick up early call us atleast 2-3 hours in advance to assure your pet can be
bathed and dry before you pick up. We no longer have a groomer on staff so unfortunately other than hygiene cuts we
cannot do them at this time.
8. Payments ACCEPTED
CASH or CHECK. We cannot process debit/credit cards.... please plan accordingly. For stays
4 wks or more, you may be asked to pay some of the cost upfront. This is at the discretion of the owner.
CURRENTLY WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANY NEW
PIT BULLS OR PIT CROSSES- NO EXCEPTIONS
**It is NEVER too early to book Weekend & Holiday stays including: SPRING
BREAK, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and any other Important
dates. Please DO NOT send reservation requests through the comment section of this
website or email.
Service outside business hours are
at the discretion of management and will incur additional charges!!!** You are welcome to call (804-795-5933) if
you plane is late getting in and see if we are still here (leave a message) If WE are and are willing to remain behind
(stay late) there is a $10 charge for every 30 minutes we stay beyond closing. This does not guarantee that we
will stay but in cases approved by Nita Mawyer (owner) you will know it is a charge for After Hours Pick Up or Before Hour
drop offs. Note: this is the exception not the rule
All changes: times/dates/addition-or-subtraction of grooming services
need to be called in to the front office. Since all scheduling should be handled by the office (sometimes the changes
are being told in the back @ drop off and it didn't get communicated in the front office to Nita/Mary). This can cause
problems with dogs not being bathed on the proper day or needing to pickup early/later and us not having your pet
ready to go. If you tell someone in the back about a change... Please call the office/or stop in and let us know up
here. That way there should be no confusion on departure dates/times or if your pet is being groomed on a certain day/or
by a certain time. We do everything we can to assure that your tickets are correct/and your pet has the best possible
stay while they are here! Thank you in advance for helping us with this matter. Office
staff/Owner of Break of Dawn Kennels.
We are CLOSED ALL HOLIDAYS for drop offs and pick ups.
As a reminder: we are closed @ 130 on Wednesday and Saturdays.
