We provide innovative, exciting and fun alternatives to leaving your four-legged friend alone at home. Dogs can run, play, splash in our pool, snuggle up with a buddy, get lavished with attention or simply hang out with friends in our indoor/outdoor playgrounds – all while under the close supervision of our trained and certified pet loving staff whose primary goals are safety and fun.

Doggie Pool

Included in All Daycare Fun-filled Days

Splashing with friends, bobbing for balls, leaps into the water – what could be more fun than Dogwood Acres' very own doggie pool? Our in-ground bone shaped pool has a specially designed filtration system, slip-resistant surfacing, and 4 fountains for even more splashing fun!

Daycare Guidelines

Our expert daycare team has advanced training in animal behavior, socialization, basic obedience, canine first aid, and CPR. We start by performing a comprehensive behavioral assessment to learn about your dog’s disposition and play style around other dogs and our team. We will let you know how the day went, what your dog liked most, and then we will recommend the daycare program that sets your dog up for success while promoting confidence and fun in a safe and secure environment.

I spent weeks touring and researching various kennels within a 60-mile radius of my home. For years, I've heard such great things about Dogwood Acres. So this was my first choice. When we arrived they gave me a tour and the place was immaculate! Thank you Dogwood Acres for taking such care of Ginger!
