Daycare/Boarding
The Pet Hotel of Milford is your one shop stop for doggie daycare and boarding. We currently offer half days and full days and drop off for pet parents on the go. During this time, we will group dogs according to age, size and temperament and will play together while being observed by one of our counselors . In between play sessions and walks dogs are provided with cots in our beautiful state-of-the-art suites. All toys and puppy playground areas are disinfected between groups of dogs. The hotel is equipped with an outdoor fenced area, as well as a Modular Playground and tunnels for our guests to enjoy. If you are signed up for our Vax4life program or have the Puppy Good Start Program you will receive an extra 10 % off boarding or daycare.
Grooming
The Pet Hotel is happy to announce that we have added a fantastic groomer to the staff! Linda has 30 years of experience grooming both dogs and cats and is very excited to prove her services for your pets. Here at the Pet Hotel, she will be able to accommodate all types of grooming and cuts that will include nail trims and ear cleanings. We have two packages:
Luxuary Packages: This is your all inclusive spa treatment day (cucumbers not included) Which includes a bath, haircut, deshedding, ear cleaning, nail trimming and of course your pet will leave smelling great and wearing a cute bandana! A great package to clean up all those tangles and mats and get your dogs looking good for the holidays or just looking prim and proper for everyday life.
Pampered Pooch: An equally luxurious package, but without the amenities of a haircut and ear cleaning. This package includes a deep clean bath, brush out, and nail trim. This is a good package for your shorter haired pups that just need a nice bath.
For any detailed questions or to book an appointment, please reach out to the Pet Hotel and one of our staff members will be happy to answer any question.
