All of our canine and feline guests must have current vaccination information on file at the kennel and must be free of fleas, ticks, and parasites. Flea baths will be given at the owner's expense to any dogs or cats who arrive with fleas or ticks. Dogs or cats found to have parasites will be isolated from the population and a fecal sample will be taken to a veterinarian of your choice for analysis and, if needed, medication at the owner's expense.

The following vaccinations are required for lodging, daycare, and grooming. They must have been administered by a licensed veterinarian, and must be given no later than one week prior to check in. Unfortunately, we cannot accept handwritten vaccination information from breeders or vaccinations purchased and given by owners. We cannot accept pets who received vaccinations within 48 hours of the boarding date.

Dog (required):
-Bordetella (nasal, injection, or oral within past 12 months)
-Distemper (within the past 12, 24, or 36 months)
-Rabies (within the past 12, 24, or 36 months)

Dog (recommended but not required; seek the advice of your veterinarian):
-Leptospirosis
-Canine influenza

Cat (required):
-Feline distemper (within the past 12, 24, or 36 months)
-Rabies (within the past 12, 24, or 36 months)

Cat (recommended but not required; seek the advice of your veterinarian):
-Leukemia

We require that your pet's current vaccination records are documented in our system prior to your arrival. We suggest that you ask your veterinarian's office to fax this information over to us. Our fax number is 937-962-9441. You may also send the records via email at info@diamondkennels.com.

We will administer your pet's medication for a nominal fee of $.50 per dosage of each medication. Please be advised that we do not give injections of any kind. It is important that you bring all the prescribed medication/supplements/OTC medications in the original container so we know the exact drug name and dosage. This could be critical information in the unlikely event of an emergency, and we could not get in touch with your veterinarian.

We cannot admit any pet with stitches, bandages, casts, splint, head cone, or open wounds. We cannot accept any pet that is not mobile (unable to walk on their own). These pets have special needs that can be better served in a veterinarian or hospital setting. We cannot accept any female that is pregnant or in season.

In case there is an emergency with your pet while under our care, we will make every attempt to contact you or your emergency contact person on file. When you check in, it is a good idea to make sure that your information on file with us is correct. We will always call your pet's veterinarian office first for care and advice so it is important that you have informed your vet that you have given Diamond Kennels permission to make medical decisions for your pet if you cannot be reached. If your veterinarian is not available during an emergency, we will contact our local after-hours vet or the local pet emergency center (MedVet). If your pet needs to be transported for medical treatment, Diamond Kennels will provide that service for a nominal fee.

Dogs or cats living at the same address can be housed together in appropriate-sized spaces. We prefer to keep same-family pets together because it is less stressful for them. However, Diamond Kennels reserves the right to refuse to house multiple dogs or cats in areas that are too small to comfortably accommodate each dog or cat. Dogs sharing a lodging space are charged full price for the first (and heaviest) dog and half price for each additional dog in the same space. Cats sharing a condo are charged full price for the first cat and $8.50 for each additional cat in the same condo.

All reservations that include Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, or Christmas Eve through New Years Day, will require a non-refundable deposit of $25 to hold and confirm the dates. Upon check-out, this deposit is credited to your bill. However, if you should cancel for any reason, the deposit is forfeited.

Reservations for The Lodge, The Loft, The Tudor Mansion, and The Penthouse always require a non-refundable deposit equal to the cost of one night's stay to hold and confirm the dates. If the reservation is cancelled for any reason, the deposit is forfeited; otherwise, the deposit is credited to the bill. No additional deposit is required for holidays for these lodging options.

Our lobby will be closed for arrivals and departures on the holidays listed below, but of course our dedicated staff will still be hard at work caring for your pets every day of the year!
