Dog Boarding
DOG BOARDING & DAYCARE AT THE CANINE CULTURE
When you’re busy or away, The Canine Culture™ is a great place for your dog to stay. We provide safe and loving overnight dog care. Let us give your dog a tail-wagging good time!
What do our facilities offer?
Every dog has its own spacious, comfortable and sanitary indoor/outdoor kennel suite. Dogs from the same family may share a suite if preferred. Each suite includes:
A climate controlled interior.
An automatic, fresh water system.
A large, shaded exterior.
A raised Kuranda™ bed and clean bedding.
Soothing music to drown out distractive noises.
Privacy walls between suites.
Daily Schedule for Dog Boarding Guests
Dogs are free to come and go between the indoor and outdoor sections as they please. Each suite has an automatic fresh water system, and privacy walls separate suites so there is no bickering with a strange dog next door.
All dogs have daily opportunities for zoomies and sniffs on our shaded lawn.
Quality, super premium food is offered twice daily, or according to your specifications. We provide dry and wet foods. If your dog requires a special diet due to a medical condition, please inform us when you make your reservation.
Additional Services
We offer several add-on services for your convenience.
Extra playtime sessions in our larger yard, one-on-one with a Kennel Technician. This is a great option if your dog is high energy, we will motivate the dog (ball, frisbee, etc) for 15 minutes of aggressive movement.
Pamper sessions: where staff sit with your pet, for a session of cuddling, tummy rubs, light play, etc.
Note: Every boarding stay includes two 15-minute playtime sessions in our outdoor yard each day.

Long overdue rating and review. I’ve had boarding, grooming and daycare experiences with Canine Culture and have been very pleased with their service, facility, friendly and caring customer care. I actually have another upcoming daycare date soon set for my dog and we’re looking forward to it.
