Each inside run features a special made resting bench for bedding and sleeping quarters off of the concrete floor. Barking noise is kept to a minimum by sound-absorbing panels hung inside the kennel. Pets can access their outside run through a door during the day, the outside run is a covered concrete patio, protecting pets from inclement weather conditions.
The country setting is a peaceful environment which provides our vacationers with lots to look at throughout the day. They enjoy the interesting sights and sounds of the abundant wildlife that can be observed from their patio. Each guest is exercised individually in the large, fenced play yard. Two play sessions per day are included in the boarding fee. Extra play sessions are available upon request at an additional charge.

Our kitties and exotic friends enjoy a bright and sunny sound-insulated room which blocks out barking sounds that might disturb them during their stay.

Each cat vacations in a comfy "kitty condo" equipped with resting perches and a private litter pan area. Soft background music is played for their relaxation and enjoyment.
In an effort to reduce stress of vacationing pets, the lobby is closed outside of the normal business hours. We understand that there may be a need for an exception and will certainly work with you.
If possible, please have your pet here by 5pm for check-in, this allows our staff to get your pet situated & settled in before closing.
After-hours business related telephone calls will be promptly returned the next business day. In the event of an emergency or special circumstance, after-hours and Sunday-scheduled services will be allowed however an additional fee may be charged for this exception.
We are at South Paw MANY more hours than the listed times. Many hours are set aside for us to take care of our most important customers - the furry, four-legged kind. We live on the property and are almost always here. However, we set business hours in order to maintain our lives outside of South Paw.
Please try and arrange your schedule around our generous hours. We appreciate your respect for our privacy outside of business hours at South Paw Bed & Bath. THANK YOU for your consideration for us and the pets we are caring for.
What to Expect When Your Pet Returns Home After Boarding
- Your pet will undoubtedly be happy to see you after the trip. Follow a few simple tips to ease the transition back to home life.
- Over-excitement may make a pet pant a lot and act thirsty. He is probably not really thirsty & had plenty of water available at the boarding facility. Give him a few ice cubes to tide him over until he settles down.
- Food: ditto. But please be aware that excessive drinking and eating may lead to digestive upsets and bloating. Do not feed your pet for at least three hours after coming home from the kennel, and then limit the food and water you provide until he has settled back into home life.
- Walk your pet upon arrival or allow access to a yard area. Excitement may also cause a change in urination or bowel movements outside his normal schedule.
- Give your pet some personalized attention - some play time or sitting and petting or brushing him will help get through the excitement stage & calm down.
- Kennel life can be very exciting, and some dogs charge around barking at other dogs and have a wonderful time. These dogs often leave the kennel exhausted but happy, and sleep a lot the first few days they are home.
- Re-establish home patterns by following a normal schedule. Pets love the following of a schedule - it makes them feel safe and secure.
- After you pick kitty up from the kennel, be sure to keep him in the house for a few days before allowing him to go outside. Just as he had to adjust to the kennel, so will he have to adjust to being home again. Allow him to find that "at home" feeling again before letting him out of the house.
