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
Each private suite features automatic fresh water and privacy walls for a peaceful stay. Dogs enjoy daily playtime on our shaded lawn, plus premium meals served twice daily or according to their needs. Special diets can be accommodated with advance notice.
Morning Wake-Up
The day starts with a stretch and a potty break in the outdoor area of their suite.
Breakfast Time
Breakfast is served according to your dog’s normal routine and feeding instructions. We offer quality dry and wet food, or you can let us know about any special dietary needs.
Morning Yard Time
Time to sniff, potty, and stretch their legs in our larger shaded outdoor yard.
Rest & Recharge
After a busy morning, dogs can relax in their private suite with fresh water always available.
Afternoon Yard Time
Another chance to sniff, potty, and stretch their legs in a larger space before settling back in.
Dinner Time
Dinner is served based on your dog’s feeding schedule and any instructions you provide.
Evening Wind-Down
A final potty break and a chance to settle in before winding down for the night.
Room to Roam
Dogs can move freely between the indoor and outdoor areas of their suites throughout the day. Each suite includes automatic fresh water and privacy walls for a calmer, more comfortable stay.
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.
