Most Common Questions
Below are the answers to a few more of the most frequently asked questions.
Will my dog go to the Camp or the Retreat?
If you are a new customer, after you take the questionnaire we will have a better sense of which facility suits your dog the best. In general, the Camp is for younger and more active dogs. And the Retreat is for smaller and senior dogs. But there may be cases when older dogs may go to the Camp and bigger dogs to the Retreat. We’ll help you figure it out.
How far are your facilities from DC/NOVA/MD?
Both facilities take right at 2 hours from your door to ours. On busy run nights, expect that your dog could be in the van a little longer. But we have deployed a “smart” transportation system that with multiple vehicles and drivers seeks to minimize time on the road and maximize the time at Country Dogs!

What Should My Pet Bring?
SEND
- A supply of dog food for the duration of his/her stay clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last name. Please send in a disposable container that you do not need to have returned.
- Any necessary medications clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last name and instructions. Extra medications will NOT be returned, so send exactly the amount we will need. If you think you may need to extend your boarding, however, or over busy holidays where you may be extended a day or two, you should send enough extra for this possibility.
DO NOT SEND
- Anything that you want to have returned (i.e. leashes, toys, bowls, measuring scoops, bedding).
Our focus out at the farm is totally upon taking care of your dog and
providing comfortable and clean accommodations, lots of fresh air, and plenty of exercise.
What Records Are Required?
- Proof of current Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper
- If you have a copy of your dog’s vet records, please upload them to your Country Dogs profile (you will get this when you make your first boarding)
- If your dog’s vaccinations are not current, please get your dog to the vet! Proof of current vaccinations must be on file prior to pickup
- Please be sure to update the shot expiration dates in your dog’s profile as well
