Frequently asked questions
We will try to answer the most important questions for you here. However, if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.
Request
In any case. If we still have capacity for your darling, we are also happy to accept spontaneous bookings. Just send us an inquiry.
Make sure you have a place before flights/hotel are booked! The more important the trip is to you, the earlier you should enquire. Under Holiday care you will find a booking calendar. There, time slots are marked in red where Buddy & Friends definitely has no more capacity. If it is not yet blocked in red, we would be delighted to receive your individual request.
Care
We offer care at the standard price from Monday to Friday.
Care at weekends and on public holidays is also possible, but at an extra charge. (see prices and surcharges for day care and vacation care)
No, we do not offer a drop-off/pick-up service. However, this service can be requested for individual situations.
Yes of course, anything is possible. Please contact me and we will discuss it together. There may be additional costs.
Sure! Buddy & Friends attaches great importance to good communication. Just as we would wish for our own dogs, you will receive regular and individual updates so that you can enjoy your time without your four-legged friend with peace of mind.
Yes, please bring your own food. Your dog and his digestion are used to this.
All dogs sleep in our house, either in one of the dog rooms (normal bedrooms set up for dogs only) or in our living room. Where your darling is most comfortable.
Passport and vaccination card (or copies of it), collar, collar, food (please bring more food than necessary for safety) and emergency contact (in case I can't reach you in an emergency).
Organizational matters
Your dog must be officially registered in Switzerland. I also need the completed and signed contract and copies of the vaccination card/passport before I can start looking after your dog.
Basically not. However, every new dog should fit in with Buddy & Friends. That's why there is a trial day in advance and, if desired, a short introduction.
Costs
A trial day, if desired, is free of charge at Buddy & Friends.
The dogs will stay overnight in the private premises of Buddy & Friends. This will result in additional cleaning work in addition to evening/morning care, updates and feeding.
About your dog
All sizes are welcome. The service is customized.
NO PROBLEM. Medication is quite common in our everyday life with Ecco and I will administer it as prescribed. This of course costs nothing.
No. Dogs with infectious diseases must stay at home.
In principle, however, diseases that are not contagious are of course not a problem.
Yes of course, he is not let off the leash and I recommend a GPS on an additional collar. I use Tractive to always know where my four-legged friend is.

Yes, at the moment we are still accepting unneutered dogs as "friends".
It is possible that this rule will change over the years and/or additional costs will be incurred.
