FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. OMG puppies! Tell me all about them… How many puppies will you bring? What kind of puppies do you have? How small are they?
Because we operate under the strictest of health/vaccine protocols to protect our puppies, we will not mix puppies from different litters unless they are fully vaccinated. Thus, we will guarantee 2 puppies for a party and will certainly bring more if we have eligible puppies at that time. Please note that we cannot confirm the number or types of puppies until a few days before your party as we have no way to predict what puppies will need rescuing and will be in our system until that time.
2. Can this puppypalooza be outside?
Please note that we permit outdoor parties only when the temperature is between 65 and 75 degrees. If the temperature is lower than 65 or higher than 75, an indoor location must be secured.
3. What do you provide for this amazing experience?
We bring the following items:
- puppies
- water bowls
- enclosure
4. What do I need to provide for these darling angels?
The host must provide floor covering. Newspapers and/or puppy pads are fine.
5. Can we let the puppies eat anything? Or are their sweet, wittle, round baby bellies too sensitive?
We ask that NO FOOD OR TREATS of any kind be given to the pups during the party.
6. What are your parking needs? Are the puppies being driven by a puppy chauffeur or delivered by drone?
For all parties, a secured and free (automobile) parking spot must be made available for the volunteer. If free parking is not available, it is the responsibility of the host to cover any parking costs.
7. How is payment handled? Please tell me how to give you my money so we can get these babies here to shower with adoration!
All puppy party payments must be made via PayPal invoice. You do not need a PayPal account to pay. You will receive an e-mail and invoice shortly after reserving the date of your party.
8. Can you provide insurance? (Who knew puppy party insurance was a thing? That’s so neat! We want some of that!)
If a certificate of insurance is required at your location there is an additional cost of $102.25. COIs must be requested and paid for no later than 5 business days before your event.
9. COVID, ew. How do we stay safe?
The volunteer bringing the puppies to your event will be fully vaccinated and masked for the duration of the party.
