Why Choose Us?
Because we are quite possibly the world’s happiest dog hangout!
We’ve created an exceptionally caring, joy-filled environment where dogs have the freedom to play, rest or interact with others at their own pace. You won’t find kennels here, we are a free-range, kennel-free environment. We have staff with dogs while in play, and we make sure dogs are fed and loved and kept safe while they play. A PupTown dog is a blissfully happy, thoroughly-exhausted-by-the-end-of-the-day dog!
Playcare
Hug play yard ensures dogs run freely under dog handler’s supervision.
The PupTown play yard boasts 14,000 sq ft of area for ample space for dogs of all shapes & sizes to run freely with direct supervision. 8 ft Fences safely secure dogs. Dog handlers are trained to actively manage dog groups large and small, and staff genuinely cares about each dog as if they were their own.
PupTown is dog-centric facility with pup-friendly areas for play.
Dogs have unlimited access to all spaces of the building, which means you will know you have a well-played dog at pickup. Interior rooms are used to split into dogs into suitable groups of similar play styles for safe play. Window light indoor spaces bright, but spaces are temperature controlled for comfort. Dogs can play at various play levels with breaks as needed throughout the day. Play yard is completely carpeted in artificial turf, which ensures dogs well played and clean. No Muddy Dogs here! In warmer months we enjoy the activities of swimming pools where dogs play, relax and stay cool in hotter temperatures. Dog have continual access to water bowls, which automatically refill as they are used. In cooler months, we have rooms where dogs can cool down, and enjoy breeze by a fan or AC climate control.
