CAC Member Services

Member Benefits and Programs
Official Members of the Canine Athletic Club are those who keep a weekly fitness schedule with the Club.   Members are picked up at their homes and chauffeured to the park, to our host locations for outdoor playgroups with other CAC Members or walked in their neighborhood and returned home at the end of their session. CAC Members are entitled to special benefits such as the ability to use their session time to go to the groomer or to the vet.  We ask that Members provide 72 hours advance notice of these appointments.  CAC offers pet sitting in your home as well as sleepover services.

Important Note about Membership Benefits:
Official CAC Members include Session Card holders, Monthly Members and frequent Pet Care Members. CAC requests that all Members provide two weeks notice of Pet Care requirements. Priority will be granted to Members for last minute service requests.  CAC will always try to accommodate unplanned trips to the best of our ability, and we strive to go the extra mile for our Members.  Our ability to make vet appointments on your behalf is limited by our preferred vet's schedule, so please provide at least three weeks notice if you wish for CAC to schedule a vet appointment. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

CAC's Flagship Club Programs

"Doggie Day Camp" & 'Club Day" Exercise and Socialization Programs

CAC follows a strict screening process for admittance into our signature Club programs.  Overly aggressive or fearful dogs may not be allowed to join, however, solo exercise sessions are always available.  Social Members are invited to join the daily outdoor play groups where the Members are able to interact, play and learn from each other. We find that this is extremely helpful for our younger Members who have not totally figured out what it is to be canine yet and for Members who come from single canine environments. Help your dog return to his roots by getting the "Pack Experience" offered by our Doggie Day Camp program.  Club Programs are especially effective with puppies and young, active canines both from an exercise and socialization perspective.  Obedience training is integral to our programs, but if you require classroom obedience training or personal training sessions, we urge you to contact dog trainer and behavior specialist, Sarah Hodgson at 914-241-1111 or www.dogperfect.com.

Qualified Members are invited to spend the day with the Club. The Doggie Day Camp program is available in the Connecticut and Westchester services area only.  These socialization and exercise sessions provide your canine with hours of  play and adventure with their CAC Fitness Trainer and other CAC Members.   CAC promotes structured exercise, socialization and obedience training in a natural, fun manner and its a great treat for your best friend. We recommend socializing your canine as early as possible.  Club Sessions and Doggie Day Camp are effective ways to introduce your canine to other dogs in a controlled, supervised environment. 

We are now accepting new, qualified Club Sessions and Doggie Day Camp Members.  CAC Members must meet specific CAC Admission Criteria which include:

• Well socialized canines and puppies only
• Current on all vaccinations
• Valid dog license and health certificate on file
• Non-aggressive temperment
• Free of all fleas and contagious conditions
• Appropriate physical condition for intense play

In Home Pet Care

In addition to our exercise and walking services, CAC offers great alternatives to traditional kennel boarding by providing daily pet care in your home when you are travelling.

In-Home Pet Care:  CAC will visit your home each day to provide TLC and exercise for your canine companion in your absence. CAC will follow your prescribed feeding regimen as well as administer any medications that are required. Cats and most other pets are welcome in our In Home Pet Care program. We find that this "stay at home" approach creates a much less stressful environment for your canine companion. They remain at home, where they are most comfortable, and generally there is less disruption to thier daily schedule and ultimately, less stress and anxiety.   Social canines may join the Club Sessions or Doggie Day Camp program as a treat during in-home services! CAC makes every effort to ensure your home appears to be lived-in by taking in the mail, adjusting the lights, watering plants and cleaning up after your pets.

New!  Sleepover Service: CAC now offers a sleepover option for in-home pet care.  A member of our dedicated and professional staff will sleep at your home while you travel.  This is the most favorable situation for many dog owners, as it most resembles your dog's regular daily schedule.  We recommend this option for puppies under 4 months old and elderly canines.

Vaccinations:  All Members of CAC must be up to date on all required vaccinations and free of all fleas and contagious conditions. CAC is experienced in caring for elderly and ill Canines as well as puppies and adolescents.    Required vaccinations include:  Rabies, DA2PLCPV, Bordatella, and Lyme. Lepto vaccinations are also highly recommended.  CAC strongly recommends the use of FrontLine, K9Advantix or other flea and tick repellant as well as HeartGuard, Interceptor or other heartworm and parasite preventative.

CAC provides In-Home Pet Care Service in two ways, per visit and daily.

The per visit rate applies to canines who require 4 or more daily visits. We do our best to maintain your home environment by including convenience services such as mail collection, plant watering, adjusting the lights, putting out the trash and daily clean-up as part of the package. CAC will also care for your cats, birds and fish as well as most other pets.  If you are planning a trip, it is always best to contact us and we will design a program around your individual needs.

CAC is happy to administer prescribed medication and most treatments at no additional charge.  Sub cutaneous injections such as Insulin can also be administered for a fee of $5.  All Members requiring special or post-surgical care should contact CAC to discuss details. CAC insists that any developing condition be examined by a vet and proper treatment prescribed prior to starting in home services.

Conditions which develop during our care will be addressed by contacting your vet or our preferred veterinarian Dr. Patrice Whittington at the Animal Clinic of Armonk  914-273-7878, or your own veterinarian if at all possible. 

Payments:
CAC accepts cash and personal checks made out to CAC.  We now also accept Master Card and Visa.  Monthly Members receive a monthly Membership Statement at the beginning of each month.  Payments are due within the first week of each new month.  Session Card holders purchase the card of their choice and renew when the current card expires.  Pet care and Sleepover services are to be paid in advance, prior to your departure.  CAC does not provide refunds for unused sessions or cancellations, instead, Members receive a credit toward future CAC services.
