It’s the owner’s responsibility to provide shot records and ensure that we have updated records every visit.
Please make note to bring updated shot records when your dogs receive their Canine Influenza boosters 2 to 4 weeks after their initial shot. You may bring us a physical copy of the records in person or send them via email. Required vaccines are as follows:
Dogs - Rabies, DHLPP (Distemper Combo), Bordetella, and Canine Influenza. Canine influenza vaccines typically require a booster 2 to 4 weeks after the initial vaccine. All puppies must be 12-13 weeks of age to board or do daycare and must have all 3 DHLPP vaccines.
There is a shortage of the canine influenza vaccine at the veterinary clinics, we are excepting dogs without the vaccine. When vaccine is available dogs must have the canine influenza shot.

Drop Off & Check Out
Medications and Emergencies
Must Be Spayed or Neutered
Please take your dogs potty before coming to the kennel or once you get here.
It should be noted that all pets are checked for fleas upon arrival. If fleas are present, Almost Home Kennels will flea treat pets at owners' expense. Dogs with fleas or excessively dirty dogs will be charged a $35 fee for an emergency bath PLUS the full price of the bath.
Drop-off and Pick-up by appointment only.
Drop off and pick up must be scheduled in advance. We allow a 15-minute lead way either way. If you pick up, your dog earlier then what you had originally booked give us a call at 636-745-2023 or an e-mail at almosthomekennelsmo1@yahoo.com
This will give us time to gather belonging, total bills, and remove pets from the play area. This creates less stress for our boarding guests and staff. If you plan on picking your dog up later than originally booked give us a phone call or e-mail.
Check-out time is before 12 PM (Noon). Pets picked up after 12 PM (Noon) will be charged an additional day.
After-hours pick-up or drop-off is only available if staff is available for an additional $40. Please call and leave a message if you’d like after-hours pick-up/drop-off and we will reply to let you know if we are available.

Everyone has an individual sleeping place at night in a personal kennel suite with soft blankets and, for dogs not prone to chewing, a baby bed mattress! We request that you leave blankets, food dishes, and water dishes at home as we have our own that can be properly sanitized. Treats are welcome.
Food must be brought in easy-open plastic containers labeled with your last name and pet’s first name, and make sure they are appropriately sized for the length of your pet's stay. No coffee cans, grocery bags, caulk buckets, etc. Do not bring scoops, coffee mugs, or cups, only bring proper measuring cups. Canned wet food must be pop top. If your pet's food is not in an appropriate container you will be charged $2/day for one of our containers. Please measure the appropriate amount of food for your pet's stay and bag each serving separately. Unless the amount is different for each feeding, do not label the individual bags with dates.
Let us know if the amount of food they eat has changed from previous stay.
