In addition to our boarding facilities for dogs of all sizes and our separate cattery, we also offer a variety of individual activities such as nature walks, play times, TLC Times, etc. We also offer delicious treats such as FrostBites, MeowBites, Cookies, and Stuffed Kongs (made in-house with love!).
