After almost two decades, we maintain the same fundamentals....

Offering age-appropriate pet care:

We persevere with our abilities in pet care. Our credentials continue to allow us to care for your pets during certain transitions in their lives.

We do not, however, offer boarding or any type of developmental care for pets' infancy stages of life (puppies/kittens under 6 months of age), nor do we offer boarding or specific health care for pets in their later years and those recovering from any type of surgery.

Our logic stands firm. Boarding a young animal may jeopardize their most developmental phase. Boarding the very old may endanger their health and comfort.

Having been in business for so long, we are encountering a cycle where our guests are either very young or very old. This has prompted us to remind you of the type of care we do offer. Since this cycle is upon many of our guests, we researched companies that can accommodate you if you are in that specific situation. For your review and consideration, our findings are posted here.

Reliable Guardians:

As popular as cell phones may be, they have proven to be ineffective at times; particularly when we try to reach you or your emergency contact person in the event of a minor or major circumstance regarding your pet. Instances of ineffectiveness are service may not be available in your travel location, recharging your batteries or turning phones on is not top priority on vacation, many drop zones can occur, etc.

As always when you drop off your pet at Orion Kennel Club, we ask for contact names and numbers. Having more than one back up is critical! ANYTIME a medical concern or situation arises, we must be able to reach a reliable person. Said person will need to perform decision-making and/or transportation. You must arrange ahead of time someone to accept such a responsibility in your absence. After almost two decades, this continues to be our number one priority! Any change to your contact listing can be made with us upon your next check-in. Once again, we have done some research in an effort to help you. Companies you may want to investigate further for transportation purposes are posted here. We don't have pet ambulances in our area yet... maybe one day soon!
