Before your stay

Questions & answers

The things owners ask us most. If yours isn't here, call or write — we're glad to help.

Are you open for stays yet?+

Not yet. Thornstone is in its pre-opening stage. Join the founding waitlist and we will contact you with our opening date and first available dates before we advertise more widely.

What vaccinations does my dog need?+

Please bring current vaccination and parasite-prevention records from your veterinarian. We will confirm the full list of required vaccines with you before your first stay.

What should I bring?+

Your dog's usual food, any medications in their original labelled packaging with written dosing instructions, and your vet records. A familiar blanket or toy is welcome.

Can you give my dog medication?+

Yes. Medication is given within our written policy and your veterinarian's instructions, and recorded at each dose. It is $5 per day.

When are drop-off and pick-up?+

Drop-off and pick-up are by appointment, so there is always someone ready to receive your dog and go over their notes with you.

Can two of my dogs stay together?+

Yes. Dogs from the same household can share a suite. The second dog sharing is $30 per night.

How much does boarding cost?+

Standard overnight boarding is $42 per night, a premium suite is $52, and day boarding is $24. These are our planning rates for the opening season.

Can I visit before booking?+

Yes — farm visits are by appointment only. Call (615) 598-2441 or email Admin@thornstonefarmstead.com to arrange one.
