Dog & Cat Boarding Report

South Paw Bed & Bath's low-stress atmosphere yields pets that are happy, eat well, enjoy their visit, and are eager to return to our kennel. Our experienced staff is trained to identify any warning signs or potential health problems. We are well educated to care for and monitor geriatric and "special needs" pets.

Grooming Report

Grooming sessions being with a pre-bath trim and check for fleas, ticks or any ear problems. Potential health problems or concerns are noted and explained to the pet owner with our opinion if a visit to the veterinarian is recommended. Next pets have a nice, warm hydro-surge bath in an all natural, pesticide free shampoo.

South Paw always does an amazing job taking care of my two large breed dogs (95 pounds and 120 pounds). My boys always come back tired but happy, so I know they are getting the attention and exercise that they need while I'm out of town. The prices are fair and reasonable, and there is even a discount when boarding more than one animal. I'd absolutely recommend South Paw if you need to board your dog; I definitely trust them with my babies!

All four puppies and I love this place! I use them every time we go out of town on a long trip. Sometimes we leave all four, sometimes a variation of the four, but my puppies are all happy and well taken care of here. The owner, Angela and her "helpers", especially Mary, make sure that my requests are heeded no matter how large or small. Thanks guys, from Zuri, Zeus, Max, and Lulu!
