What is included
Individual suites for dogs (not shared runs). Cats have private condos separated from the dog wing - no barking, no stress.
Puzzle feeders, interactive toys, and species-appropriate enrichment rotated daily. Not just a kennel - a genuine break for your pet.
Oral meds, insulin, ear drops, eye drops, subcutaneous fluids - our vet-trained staff handles complex protocols confidently.
Unlike a typical boarding kennel, licensed veterinary technicians are here 16 hours a day and a veterinarian is always a phone call away.
Every boarding guest gets a vet tech exam at check-in. We catch anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.
We text a photo at Day 2 and Day 4 of any stay longer than three nights. No news is good news - but we know you miss them.
