We know you hate to be away from your dog, we feel exactly the same! But life gets in the way. Business trips, vacations, and family obligations can make it impossible to keep your best friend by your side. So you have to leave for a bit, but what kind of experience do you want your dog to have while you’re away?

  • Safe, secure, clean accommodations
  • The right food and medications at the right time and in the right amount
  • Friendly, conscientious, and knowledgeable human helpers
  • 3 long off-leash romps each day with interesting things to do and smell
  • Optional spa treatment, including bath, ear cleaning, toenail trim, and hair cut
  • Play Dog eXcellent is all about… Peace of mind!

We can do all that and more! You can leave with confidence and peace of mind. Your dog will have a great time with plenty of distractions to keep from worrying about you. When you come back, your friend will happily tell you all about the new and old friends, fabulous service, and captivating entertainment that is just part and parcel of the Play Dog eXperience.
