F.A.Q
-
For the safety of all fur babies, dogs are equipped with GPS collars to keep track of any curious wanderers.
We also keep our excursions to small groups, in order for each dog to get the attention needed. However, if your doggie is known as an escape artist, Petagonia may not be a good fit.
-
Yes. Dogs older than one year must be spayed or neutered. This is for the safety of all dogs. Not only do we not want unwanted puppies, we don't want dog fights.
-
Yes. It is necessary that all dogs are up to date on vaccines including Bordatella (Kennel Cough), Leptospirosis, and CIV (Flu). We want to keep all the doggies running full steam ahead! By requiring these additional vaccinations, we reduce the chance of spreading viruses among our pack. In addition to the required vaccinations we ask that all doggies have seen their Veterinarian within the past year. Proof of vaccination required before booking.

Unfortunately, you cannot ride with your doggie. We promise to take care of your doggies as if they were our own!
-
We go in ALL types of weather however, if the road conditions are not good during a snowstorm or freezing rain, we will cancel. The safety of our staff and the doggies is always our primary concern.
We do recommend sweaters and coats for winter and rain coats for rainy days. (Please note that items of clothing will get dirty and could in a rare occasion, become damaged)
-
It is completely normal that doggie parents worry about their fur babies! Some doggies are nervous their first time on the bus, but once they get to play, they relax and enjoy themselves. In rare cases, we have had dogs afraid to leave their parents and get on the bus. Those same doggies now run excitedly to the bus!
We recognize, however, that some doggies may not enjoy themselves. Although this is rare, it can happen. We never want doggies to come if they don't relax after one or two excursions. We always communicate honestly and openly to owners about how their doggie is doing. We also share video and images of your doggie(s) during their excursion. If your doggie is clearly not having fun or is overly fearful, we will tell owners that we don't think this is a fit for them.
