The Ocotillo Treatment

Certain luxuries are a normal part of staying at our resort; we call it the Ocotillo Treatment. This customizable signature service is included with all rooms. Our qualified kennel attendants feed, nurture and give your furry family members the tender loving care they deserve to keep them happy while you’re away.

The Ocotillo Treatment Includes:

😋 Meals: To feel right at home and not interrupt diets, guests are asked to bring their own food which is served up to 3 times daily. If you are not able to bring your pet’s diet we provide Purina EN dry and wet food. Additionally, if your pet has a sensitive tummy we can provide Purina FortiFlora Probiotic. We do ask that you bring your own food for your pets so they don't endure GI upset during their stay. If you do not bring your own food, the additional fee is $13.50 per day your pet requires food. If you bring your own food and run out, you will be charged $14.00 per day your pet requires food.

🌴 Fresh Air: Three times daily, all guests go outdoors to their 6’ by 10’ personal area which is shaded and has a private potty area to exert energy and go to the bathroom. Our staff walks each guest to and from their room to their area allowing for tons of personal contact. Dogs only.

🏠 Housekeeping: Your pet's room is cleaned daily. Our staff clean, disinfect, and deodorize, leaving virtually no moisture and eliminating the germ and bacterial problems common with traditional kennels. We provide raised Kuranda cots and bedding for any pets in our care. We play calming music in the kennels create a stress-free environment.

🦴 Tuck In & Treat: Every night each guest is visited with a good night pat and your provided treat. Food and water levels are left to your specifications, the room is tidied, and most importantly, our guest is left calm and feeling loved.

🔒 Security and Fire Protection: Our state-of-the-art monitored security and fire system includes infrared and motion sensors, fire monitoring and sprinkler system as part of our top notch safety and security plan. Peace of mind is a priority!

📷 Observations: Throughout every stay, pet resort staff members take notes about care and activities so you can be aware of daily happenings. We focus on making sure pets are happy and healthy throughout their stay. We welcome calls to check on your loved ones.

👍 Peace of Mind: Creating a home away from home we will try to meet all the individualized needs of your pet. We hope to include peace of mind we train our pet resort staff to observe for illness and emergencies. If there is an emergency or illness during a stay we partner with our veterinarians to provide the best treatment.

Cats

Your furry family feline will enjoy their home away from home in their 10 cubic feet suite equipped with cozy bedding of your choice or bedding we supply for them, starting at $32 per night, 2nd pet is $27.

Each suite has the capability to connect to other condos diagonally and horizontally so families of multiple cats can visit one another during their stay. They also contain convenient, relaxing shelves so your feline can lounge all day, as they do at home.

We encourage you to bring your pet’s toys and strongly recommend bringing in your pet’s own food to reduce the chances of potential problems when feeding a brand-new diet in an unfamiliar environment. We also provide a more enclosed private area for felines who just want to enjoy time alone.
