Happy Valentine’s Day from Almost Home Boarding & Training
(Louisville, Kentucky)!

At Almost Home Boarding & Training, we know that professional boarding, DDO and quality care are the ultimate acts of love for our four-legged companions. This Valentine’s Day, we want to share our heartfelt gratitude with our wonderful community of clients and their incredible pets. Whether your pup is mastering new skills in training or enjoying a “home away from home” in boarding, seeing their tails wag is the greatest reward we could ask for. We hope your month is filled with extra treats, long walks, and plenty of puppy kisses!

Payment Policy Update 
To continue providing the high-quality care and professional training your pets deserve, please note that a 3% surcharge will now be applied to all Credit Card transactions. We want to ensure you have cost-effective payment options, so Cash and Debit Card payments will remain FREE of any additional fees. We appreciate your understanding and your continued support of Almost Home!

Boarding at AHB&T
While a phone call to make a reservation is always welcome, please know sending an email with requested dates is also an easy way to make a reservation and if dates are available, we will make your reservation and respond with an email confirmation.

For the best experience for your fur baby, please note the following: Bring your pets’ food; any medications that they are taking and their favorite treats or toys. You do not have to bring bowls. We have plenty! All shapes, varieties (plastic, ceramic, metal) and sizes. We encourage you to bring a couple of extra days of food and medications in case something happens and you don’t return on the day you had planned. This is especially true for traveling circumstances such as flight cancellations, delays, emergencies and traffic. All your belongings are kept separate with your information and a list of what you bring. ALL food and meds that were not used will be returned when you pick up your fur baby.

 


Almost Home Boarding and Training is proud to have Certified Fear Free professionals on staff. 
Fear Free Boarding and Daycare Individual Certification Program ensures that our staff are thoughtful in every interaction with boarding and daycare pets—from greetings to kennel introductions to overexuberance or shyness.

Fear Free courses are reviewed by IBPSA (International Boarding & Pet Services Association) and PACCC (Professional Animal Care Certification Council).

 VACCINE REMINDERS 
We try very hard to inform you of upcoming expiring vaccinations necessary for services at Almost Home but please check with your veterinarian and send us scanned updated vaccinations to make things go smoother.  We have noticed that some vet clinics are not sending out vaccination reminders and then there is a lapse. 

After a vet visit, please ask that your vet fax or email your pet’s vaccine records over to us as soon as possible. This makes it easier for us to keep track of updated vaccinations. Dogs need Bordetella, Distemper-parvo and RabiesCats need FVRCP and Rabies Feline. You or your vet can email vaccinations to: contact@almosthomeboardingandtraining.com Or fax them to 502-384-8487
