A Day For Your Dog At Country Lane
Pet Hotel
What sets Mancuso’s Country Lane Pet Hotel apart from a typical kennel is the
stress-free environment within which our guests relax. Since the business
began over 32 years ago in our own house, we have always been able to keep our
daily routine very much like that of our guests' typical household.
Each dog enjoys an individual indoor
room for privacy. (All areas are climate-controlled) Outdoor time comes at
least four times a day in our large fenced area. Guests may play and meet
other dogs throughout each day (under supervision), and are always within sight
and sound of staff, which is why there is no nuisance barking.
There are no bare concrete floors or
runs, and we do not hose down pens to clean. The floors and
walls of each room are ceramic tile, and we insist that all dogs have
bedding, whether brought from home or ours. All floors and rooms are
vacuumed and sanitized daily. Basically the dogs experience the same
sights and sounds that they do at home, so they relax, feel secure, and are not
stressed out from a frantic "shelter atmosphere."
A Day in the Life
6:30
AM
Dogs awake for their first outdoor break of the day. Guests spend approximately
15-20 minutes in the outdoor fenced area for some social time and bathroom
needs. Indoors, rooms are checked for any that need immediate attention to
cleaning and fresh water is given to all.
7:30
AM
Breakfast is served. Puppies are fed first, then the adult guests. Dogs not
scheduled to eat a breakfast are offered a portion of their dinner or a snack
so they are not watching their neighbor eat while they get nothing! Water bowls
are checked and filled. Any dog requiring a morning medication gets it at this
time.
8:00
AM
Puppies and older dogs that cycle quickly with their bathroom needs are taken
out immediately after eating breakfast.
9:00
AM
The main cleaning of the day takes place. All rooms are vacuumed, hand-wiped,
and sanitized. Bedding, chews, and toys are reorganized. Guests are given
outside time once again while their rooms are freshened up. Water bowls are
sanitized and filled with fresh water.
1:00
PM
Now the real fun begins! Hotel guests enjoy an afternoon of supervised
playgroups of similar personalities, sizes, and activity levels. Less active or
non-playful dogs enjoy leash walks for exercise. Everyone's outdoor time
averages about 30 minutes, depending on the weather.
4:00
PM
Dinner is served. Again, the same procedure is followed as is for breakfast
with puppies eating first. Water bowls are checked and filled.
4:30
PM
Puppies and older dogs that cycle quickly with their bathroom needs are taken
out immediately after eating.
5:00
PM
After business hours, guests take advantage of the quiet time to relax indoors.
With no dogs checking in or out, guests can turn their attention to their
latest chewy, or just curl up for a snooze.
7:30
PM
Last outs begin. Guests are given 15-20 minutes outside to take care of
bathroom needs and to socialize one last time before bed. Water bowls are
checked and filled. Dogs that require evening medications are taken care of
when they come in.
8:30
PM
All dogs, unless on a restricted diet, receive a few of their treats from home
to munch before bed.
9:00 PM
LIGHTS OUT!
