| - Pet Paradise is new on the dog boarding scene and honestly I can't remember where I heard of it first. But it is so convenient I just had to give it a try (twice now).
They are a hop-skip-and-a-jump from the airport, so it wins major points for that. Nothing worse than driving an hour to drop your pooch off before leaving for the airport. They also have a partnership with a Park 'n Fly - new customers get free parking with boarding. Granted this only saves you a few bucks a day, but it's still a nice amenity.
Now enough about my selfish self, what about the dogs? Well, they let you put 2 to a run, which is nice (the second pet is about half the price). Your furry buddies can sleep in the same room! They also include outside play time with other dogs in the price - not this a la carte business so many places do! You can bring their own food, or not, and I can tell you they give the dogs lots 'o treats while they are there (based on the empty bags that have come home). As far as "doggie jail" as I lovingly call it goes, I think dogs approve.
Other things I like...they have late night potty breaks, you can add a bath on the last day, they are SUPER friendly when you go or call (plus they seem genuinely happy), and they have a manager who lives on site. That means there's always someone there in case of an emergency, and by appointment, you can pick up your dog whenever! You do have to pay for the day if you pick up after noon, but I still appreciate the fact that I can pick up on my schedule. Some places are so strict about that!
Check them out the next you're heading out of town!
