Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a "small dog" at Riverside boarding facilities?

Most Riverside facilities define small dogs as under 25โ€“30 pounds, though exact cutoffs vary. Dogs are typically grouped by size and temperament for safe play.

Why do small dogs need a separate play area?

Small dogs can be intimidated or accidentally injured during play with larger breeds. Dedicated areas in Riverside facilities let small dogs socialize safely with similarly-sized dogs.

Can my small dog still interact with larger dogs?

Some Riverside facilities allow supervised mixed-size play for dogs that enjoy it. Staff will assess your dog's comfort level during the temperament evaluation.
