What's included in Playful Pack's holiday dog boarding?

Our boarding facilities are designed to be your dog’s home away from home. During the day, pups are welcome to enjoy daycare with our PACKmates. During doggy daycare, our dog guests can enjoy a range of events and exercises, including specially designed canine play equipment, games, snacks, bacon-scented bubbles, and more. We plan exciting activities to stimulate our dogs’ senses and engage them physically and mentally. Our boarding guests have the option of morning and evening walks for exercise, and at night, they will rest in a comfortable, cage-free space all their own.

We can accommodate special needs as needed. Every dog is treated as the individual they are. We administer oral medications as prescribed at no additional charge and encourage pet “pawrents” to bring in comfort items, like special blankets or well-worn tee shirts, that can help dogs feel safe and secure.

Dogs are carefully weighed and monitored throughout their time with us, and we document any changes in behavior or eating habits. If we note any illnesses or injuries, we’ll let you know right away. You’ll also have webcam access that allows you to monitor your pup’s experiences 24/7, so you can check in any time you want.

What are the benefits of booking holiday boarding early?

  • Guaranteed spot: While we have multiple locations for your convenience, the high demand of the travel season means that spots often fill up early. When you book dog boarding early, you can have peace of mind that your dog’s spot is reserved in a location most convenient for you.
  • Time to plan: When you book early, you have plenty of time to schedule the pre-boarding vet visit, update the vaccinations, and plan for any special needs, such as for senior dogs or dogs with chronic health issues.
  • Less stress: Not only does booking early reduce stress on you, but it can also make the boarding experience less stressful for your pup. Dogs are welcome to visit Playful Pack for pre-boarding daycare visits or even overnight stays, which allows them to adjust to the routine gradually. This is especially important for first-time boarders and dog daycare guests.

The holiday season can be stressful, and dog boarding facilities can fill up fast. Playful Pack’s reputation for personalized attention and spacious cage-free rooms can offer you the peace of mind you need during what could be an otherwise stressful period. We will be your pet’s home away from home, whether you’re traveling for a few days or longer. Contact us today to book dog boarding for the holidays.
