Welcome to
The Barking Birch Pet Lodge
Your Pet’s Home Away From Home
Why Our Dogs Love The Barking Birch
Our Suites
From Dachshunds to Danes, every dog will be comfortable in our suites. They’ll enjoy open air rooms, with space to stretch out with their comfort items. We provide music and TV for calmer and more comfortable pups and offer 24-hour staff response and video monitoring to ensure a safe overnight stay for your pup.
All-Day Play
Our indoor and outdoor recreation areas provide all-day play. We monitor the weather to ensure your dog’s play sessions are comfy. Our monitored play groups are arranged by temperament, age, and size, letting your dog choose their preferred level of action. When not playing, your dog can settle in for a nap and recharge.
Enrichment
Our facility sits on 14 acres of beautiful birch trees. Your dog will spend time playing with our exciting play structures and tunnels. There are also occasional activities like picture days and even a few pawrties. Our staff works hands-on to give your pet all the affection and attention they need.
Individualized Care
Every pet is unique, and we tailor care for each dog’s needs. Our staff learns your dog’s personality, favorite playmates, and comfort level while staying with us. We also learn your pet’s physical limitations, will administer medications as needed, and find the best way to show them love.
