APDC Discount Programs for Seniors and Frequent Barkers 
 
Senior Discount Program:   Been a while since you've been carded.... Clients (human clients) over the age of sixty-five are now elible for a 10% discount on all services effective April 1st, 2010.  Let Mandy, Megan or Adele know about your "seniority" and they can tag you in our software system so that you can automatically receive this fantastic, deserving deal!
 
Frequent Barker Program:  Get rewarded for being an awesome, regular client.  All you have to do is show up... a lot
With each boarding reservation, you earn a point.  After 10 separate boarding reservations, you will have earned 10 points and receive a discount of $1 off each boarding night. 
After 20 separate visits/ 20 points earned, you will receive $2 off each boarding night.
Example:  Lola stays overnight with us a lot!  On her 11th boarding reservation, she stayed with APDC for 2 nights.  Her bill was for $26 each night instead of $27 each night. 
On her 21st boarding reservation, she will be charged $25 each night. 
 
So, it isn't about the number of nights - - it is about the number of separate stays. 
Each separate reservation = 1 point 
10 points = $1 off each night
20 points = $2 off each night
This offer has already started.  In fact, our new software system began tracking your visits since November 2009.  So... you might be saving before you know it.  Go ahead, take that short weekend trip!  Take a lot of them!  You can start earning those points and saving money while your dog is having a blast at our outstanding facility!!
