South Paw Bed & Bath's low-stress atmosphere yields pets that are happy, eat well, enjoy their visit, and are eager to return to our kennel. Our experienced staff is trained to identify any warning signs of potential health problems. We are well educated to care for and monitor geriatric and "special needs" pets.

                          

                                                 STANDARD BOARDING ACCOMMODATIONS

Each dog has an individual spacious, climate controlled, indoor and outdoor accommodation. The indoor sleeping quarters have been built with your dog's comfort in mind. Solid partitions separate each run allowing for privacy, preventing cross-contamination, and discouraging fence fighting. Each inside run features a special made resting bench for bedding and sleeping quarters off of the concrete floor. Barking noise is kept to a minimum by sound-absorbing panels hung inside the kennel. The pet can go to the outside of their run through the door. The outside run is a covered, concrete patio protecting the pet from inclement weather conditions. These accommodations allow our guests to run in and out during the day. The country setting is a peaceful environment which provides our vacationers with lots to look at throughout the day. They enjoy the interesting sights and sounds of the abundant wildlife that they can observe from their patio. Each guest is exercised individually in the large, fenced play yard. Each quest enjoys two play sessions per day that is included in the boarding fee. Extra play sessions are available upon request at an additional charge.
                      
                                                                        SUNROOM SUITES

These deluxe accommodations were designed for that dog that feels more comfortable in a more private, quiet setting away from the noise of the standard runs. These sunny rooms are ideal for the pet that is needing a little more TLC or that stresses easily while being away from home. For the meek, timid, shy, old or just for the pet that is in need of a little more pampering during their stay.........a deluxe suite is the answer. Our guests are sure to enjoy the new state of the art accommodations made just for them. In the sunroom, your pet will enjoy these features at no extra charge:      

                   Premium food/treats                Climate-controlled
                   All indoor accommodations                Window view from each suite
                   More "home-like" atmosphere                Kuranda beds with fleece blankets
                   Three play sessions per day                Daily fresh blanket changes
                   Soft music                Bedtime tuck in with biscuit

Our visitors comfort and well-being is very important to us and we cater to their individual personalities. If you would like to bring personal possessions from home, we often recommend a shirt or hand towel that has your scent on it. Dogs have a tendency to chew so we cannot guarantee that objects you leave with the pet will return in the same condition as left. We discourage bringing large, cumbersome bedding to the kennel because if soiled, the large bulky bedding is difficult for us to wash and disinfect. For those pets that need bedding we provide clean, warm blankets and towels.

We provide the food during your pet's stay unless he or she is on a prescription diet. If you wish to bring your pet's food, please bring food in a labeled zip lock bag or a sealable container. If your pet needs medication while at the kennel, you must provide the medication with instructions and method of administering medications. There is no extra charge for administering medications. We make every effort to keep guests on their accustomed routines, so inform us of any special needs your pet may have such as certain feeding or exercise times.

You may want to receive a spa treatment while you are away. Regardless of our efforts to keep the kennels and yards clean, there may be times when your dog may get dirty. For example, while spending time in our grassy play areas they often jump, roll, dig and just have fun being a "dog". We are happy to provide our grooming service while you are away. Please reserve, in advance, a time for your pet's grooming session.
