What we do

Our Services

Lodging

Here at Big Creek Pet Lodge, we are dedicated to providing outstanding care for your pet while you are away. We focus on the individual needs of every dog in our care, and can assure you they will get the loving attention they need from us that they would get from you. With quality care and cleanliness in our facilities as our top priorities, we value the space we have to offer your pup to run around and socialize with other dogs. Upon approval of the owner, we desire that the dogs that come into our door will be able to be involved in group play as long as their temperament can handle this. This will be discussed with every owner before the dog will be checked into Big Creek Pet Lodge.

Requirements
-Up to date vaccinations for our records (Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella)
-Food for your dog’s stay. We provide food/water bowls, however we do require that you bring in the food your dog is fed at home being that it is much better on their stomach.
-Any toys/blankets from home to put in the kennel with your dog. We have Kurada raised cots available for each kennel to get them up off of the floor. It is our desire that the boarded dogs can rest in the kennel after getting exercise and socialization

Daycare

Does your dog need some entertainment during the day? Bring your dog to us while you are away at work for an action-packed day! Dogs will get the opportunity to play, exercise, and make new friends here, giving you a peace of mind while you work or away from home. If you work a long day, want to give your dog a chance to burn off some extra energy, or want to work on your dog’s socialization skills, we’d love for you to come in to Big Creek Pet Lodge as we can help in all of these areas!
