Before Your Visit
Whether it’s your dog’s first visit or their next ranch vacation, a little preparation helps us make their stay comfortable, happy, and full of fun.
A few things to have in place before arrival. Most of it happens once, in Goose, and then you never think about it again.
Share your dog’s feeding routine, personality, play style, and care needs so we can help them feel at home and give them the best vacation ever. Returning guests, please check that care instructions and contact details are up to date.
Current Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, and Bordetella vaccinations are required. Upload records to Goose before your visit or bring a hard copy at drop-off.
Review and sign any required boarding and daycare agreements in Goose before arrival.
A 25% deposit secures your booking. Holiday bookings require a 50% deposit.
Bring enough of your dog’s regular food for their stay in zip-top bags labeled with their name, the amount per meal, and feeding times. Please leave large food bags and bulky containers at home.
Bring any medications labeled with your dog’s name, along with written instructions listing the medication name, exact dose, and timing. Include any other care details we should know. Oral medications are administered at no charge; injections are $5.
Pack any blankets your dog needs or loves to sleep with. Familiar scents can help them settle in and feel at home. Please label everything with their name.
Required for boarding and daycare alike, with no exceptions, it’s how we keep every dog in the yards safe.
Bordetella needs to have been given more than three days before the visit. Upload records to your profile when you book, or bring proof with you at drop-off.
Please plan your arrival and departure within these windows so our team can give every guest the care and attention they need.

We’ll contact you promptly and arrange veterinary care as needed. Whenever possible, we’ll use your regular veterinarian within the Flathead Valley during office hours. For urgent care during evenings and weekends, we’ll contact Flathead Pet Emergency.
Bring your dog’s regular food in labeled zip-top bags with feeding instructions. Medications should be clearly labeled with your dog’s name and accompanied by written instructions for the exact dose and timing.
Yes. Intact males and females are welcome, with playgroups adjusted accordingly. Two intact males are never grouped together, and intact males are never grouped with intact females. Females cannot attend while in heat or for three weeks after their cycle ends.
We’ll welcome your dog, help them settle in, and introduce them to a playgroup matched to their size, energy, and personality. Our team keeps an eye on their comfort and adjusts as needed, setting them up for a great time at the ranch.
We share photos and videos of our ranch guests on social media throughout the day, so follow along for a glimpse of the fun. You’re always welcome to reach out for an update, too.
