Frequently Asked Questions about Camano Canine Resort
Q: I have multiple pets, can they share a suite?
A: We encourage guests to stay with their housemates! However, pets sharing a suite must get along well together and eat the same kind of food. If altercations occur between two guests sharing a suite, they will be separated at the discretion of resort staff. In the event there are no vacancies at the time, one may be rotated between a crate and/or a personal patio until a suite becomes available. This will result in additional charges at the regular daily rate.
Q: Are there any check-in requirements?
A: Yes, leash, ID tag on the collar, vaccination record, registration form and signed contract are required.
Q: What should I bring?
A: Bring your dog(s)' bedding, food (see below), medication, favorite
toys and perhaps an article of your clothing such has a t-shirt that has
been worn. Camano Canine is not responsible for the replacement or return
of any damaged or destroyed items brought from home.
Q: Should I bring my pet’s food?
A: Yes! All meals and/or medication are supplied by the owner. For your pet’s comfort and in order to avoid upset stomach and diarrhea caused from a sudden diet change you must bring their regular food. Write your dogs' name on the bag of dog food and be prepared to tell the amount in cups that your dog is used to getting. Make sure you have plenty plus a little extra. You are also welcome to bring treats for your pet to enjoy during their stay!
Q: What if my pet won’t eat?
A: Some pets can be very picky eaters when their family is away, but we have an assortment of wet foods and sauces to tempt even the most finicky eaters. We also monitor your pet’s intake and elimination to ensure that their dietary needs are being met.
Q: Will someone spend time with my pet?
A: Yes! Our caregivers provide the highest level of care. Guests receive a minimum of three on leash walks a day as well as individual play time in one of our secure fenced runs. We encourage you to bring a favorite toy for your pet to play with during this time! In the event of foul weather indoor play time may be substituted for outdoor play time particularly for guests who are sensitive to cold and wet conditions.
Q: Will my pet get to play with others?
A: If your dog likes playing and you give permission, your dog
will be allowed to play with like sized guests. Any multiple dog play time
is strictly supervised by a staff member in the run with them.
Q: Is my pet left alone at night?
A: No! To maximize your pet's safety and comfort there is always a staff member at the resort overnight. Low lighting and
tranquil music help insure a sound sleep. Guests are secured in their suites and given evening room service including a bedtime snack.
Q: What if my pet gets sick?
A: In the event that your pet requires veterinary attention during their stay, guests will be taken to the nearest available veterinarian. All costs incurred for veterinary care will be paid by the owner at the end of their pet’s vacation. Canine Cab charges of $1.00 per roundtrip mile will be applied.
Q: Will you give medications to my pet?
A: Yes, we are more than happy to administer oral medications. We welcome
Guests with special needs and will do everything possible to ensure their

additional rate of $1.00 per roundtrip mile.
