Which yard a friend plays in is decided based on personality NOT size. We are a training based facility and want to ensure friends know how to play and interact with friends of all sizes. This way when they go on a walk or to the dog park they are not afraid or unsure how to play with a friend bigger or smaller than they are.  

All friends are given an assessment when they arrive for their first play day. During this assessment staff will establish which of our 4 yards your fur child plays best in.

We love helping our furry friends build the best relationship and respect for each other possible. We are able to help with some socialization training, depending on the severity of the fur child. We have found most fur children do well in our structured play yard atmosphere, however we do not allow human aggressive friends.

Not at this time, as we do not have the space to store your plastic containers. We have an airtight container for your friend's food already at the facility. Using our containers allows for us to ensure all our friends food is organized and separated from other friends' food. Please only bring enough food for your fur child's stay and a couple extra meals in case you are delayed.

Not at this time.

We have a Ruff Life kibble mix available for $3 per meal if you don't want to provide food for your fur child however we do recommend bringing your dog's own food so that your dog's tummy doesn't get upset.

The State of Utah require all furry friends to have at least an up to date rabies vaccination to be on the property for any reason. The Rabies tag will NOT be acceptable for proof of vaccination. We MUST have a digital or paper copy of the records with a clearly stated expiration date. We recommend that you speak with your vet about keeping up to date on all other vaccinations.

Yes exceptions can be made. If your fur child is younger than 16 weeks a rabies vaccination is not required as all vets will not vaccinate until a furry friend reaches 16 weeks. We recommend you speak with your vet to know if your fur child is healthy enough to socialize before being fully vaccinated as fur children who have not had all three rounds of shots before socializing with a number of friends are at a high risk. 

Exceptions are also made for furry friends due to health reason; though a vet note is required. ​

Yes, we accept intact dogs of all ages. For intact dogs eight (8) months old or older, we do charge a $10 fee for each visit/day the fur child is with us. We have multiple yards that allow us to separate intact dogs of opposite genders.

Beds/blankets are welcome though not required for you to provide. We have cots, and blankets on hand that are washed daily and ready for furry friends staying with us overnight.

Friends get to play in a group setting starting at 7am and ending at 7pm.  Friends are brought inside to their suite for breakfast, lunch/nap, and dinner.

Our Paw-sidential Suites are 10ft x 4ft  with large elevated cots in them.

Our Junior Suites are 5ft x 4ft with a large elevated cot,

Our Family Style Suite are 5ft x 4ft with a large elevated cot in our team member's home on property.

Yes. Most of the time, they are things that have nothing to do with us humans. A few examples:

     ~Dogs playing together nicely may still be poked/cut/scratched by an untrimmed nail or an accidental tooth scratch.

     ~A playful puppy may get too far into another dog’s personal space causing the other dog to snap back out of reaction (not aggression).

     ~A pair of dogs might play, chase and jump off a platform or run too hard and sprain an ankle.

     ~Additionally, it is important for pet parents to be aware of dogs’ ability to share the doggy equivalent of the common cold (kennel cough) and other mild illnesses with each other. Because dogs play with their mouths and because most of these viruses are airborne, it is more likely for dogs in off-leash play settings to catch bugs like this.

Monday - Saturday we have 2 drop off/pick up time frames. 7:00am - 12:30pm, 4:00pm - 6:30pm. Closed Sunday ​

Our office closes promptly at 12:30 PM and 6:30 PM. If you’re unable to arrive during your scheduled time, you are welcome to come during the next available office hours window. We apologize for any inconvenience.

However, we do have one after hours kennel that may be available for a fee. (Not available on Sundays) Though with only having one suite, the space is very limited and would need to be prearranged.
