A bath before pickup. A ride in the Pet Taxi. A brain game, a birthday party or a bedtime story. Every extra is added to a day your dog already spends with us, so they get more out of the visit and you skip the extra stop.
5729 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth. Add an extra when you book online, at drop-off, or with a quick call.
Three favorites, each done while your dog is already here.
Go Home Clean and Fluffy
A soapy bath, a blow-dry and light brushing by our team, timed so your dog is dry and ready when you arrive. It is the extra most often added to a boarding stay, and a favorite after a big daycare day.
Our Pet Taxi picks up and drops off seven days a week, 8am to 5pm, in a van fitted with canine seat belts and driven by Pack Leaders your dog already knows. Daycare days, boarding drop-off, boarding pickup: your call.
Scent games, puzzles and problem-solving built around your dog, as part of this month’s adventure in Barksville. Each day is a new activity, and happily tired goes home with them.
The extras that turn a good day into a story they tell at home.
Throw Them a Birthday or Gotcha Day Party
A doggy cake, toys and cake-scented bubbles, playtime with their best friends and a digital party picture to keep. For the day they were born, or the day they came home.
A cozy blanket infused with natural, soothing lavender, a bedtime story read by one of our Pack Leaders, and gentle cuddles from our team to end the day. For daycare days and boarding stays. Just ask at drop-off.
