| - I was a little bit apprehensive about trying the Pudgy Pup at first because I was a new dog-mom and was afraid my puppy (who was 6 months at the time) wouldn't take well to the new environment. Once summer rolled around, I had to try it - he was used to going to the dog park 3-4 times a week, and he needed that playtime, but in an air-conditioned environment! One of my mom's coworkers recommended Pudgy Pup and I am SO thankful I gave it a try.
The entire staff know my pup Jethro and he is always greeted by name, and so warmly. The site keeps your paperwork on file, and all dogs are required to have all their vaccinations done and participate in a screening process to ensure they are capable of assimilating into a pack.
Another thing I love is that they do not kennel the dogs. Everything is out in the open. I can't tell you how many times I've walked in to pick up Jethro and all the dogs are just lounging around, hanging out, enjoying each other's company. They are well monitored, and you can tell the dogs love the people who work there.
On top of that, Pudgy Pup offers grooming services. I decided to have Jethro groomed for the first time there. They did a full bath and brush, plus clipped his nails, and even more. Again, they don't kennel them at all, which is great - I was going to take him to PetSmart originally, but I am not keen on the fact that PetSmart kennel-dries their dogs. Jethro was able to hang out with the groomers while he dried, and they trimmed his nails perfectly.
The best part is, they open early ... 6am weekdays, 7:30am weekends. This is so great for me, because Jethro and I are both early risers. It has been so wonderful to be able to have my quiet Saturday mornings, knowing Jethro is having the time of his life with his buddies. And it's only $5 for the first three hours!
I can't recommend Pudgy Pup enough. Check it out, you won't regret it, and your pup will love you even more for it! Even once the weather cools off again, we'll still be visiting weekly!
