Dog Boarding
Voted one of the Best Pet Boarding Facilities in the Chippewa Valley!
Your dog deserves a vacation, too! At Paws & Claws, we offer two lodging options to cater to our canine guests’ preferences. Boarding stays can be enriched with playtime and extras for an even more personalized experience!
Boarding Options
Canine Rooms With Private Patio
Our standard rooms offer the comfort of a raised Kuranda bed, in-floor heat, air conditioning, and soothing music. Each dog has an indoor room with access to their own private 5' x 6' outdoor patio with cover to protect them from the elements. Standard rooms provide a more social atmosphere: your dog will be able to see other doggie friends relaxing in their rooms around them. Playtimes are not included in the price of standard rooms, but you are more than welcome to add them to your dog’s stay! Dogs staying with us 2 weeks or longer are required to add at least 1 outdoor playtime per week.

One dog is $44/night. Each additional dog is $39/night.*

Deluxe Canine Suites With Private Patio
Our deluxe suites offer more space and privacy with less noise and disruption. Each dog will have a comfortable raised Kuranda bed, in-floor heat, air conditioning, and soothing music, along with access to their own private 6' x 8' outdoor patio with coverage to protect them from the elements. Each suite guest receives daily one-on-one interactive time with our caring staff for playing, swimming, or cuddling -- whichever is your dog's preference. Additional playtimes are available by request.

Extras
Food
While we encourage you to bring your dog’s own food to minimize the chance of upset stomachs during boarding, we can provide our house food, Fromm Classic, for $4.00 per feeding per dog.
Grooming Services
You are welcome to add grooming services during your pet's stay, provided our groomers have availability. We recommend booking these services the morning of check-out (or if checking out on a Sunday, book on Friday or Saturday). Please refer to our Grooming tab for more details.
Dog Boarding Add-Ons
Our dog boarding guests can also enjoy add-ons and playtime while they stay with us! We have large indoor and outdoor play areas for dogs to run, either with a staff member or with other dogs. Playtime is a great way to keep your dog happy and ensure a restful afternoon nap!
Backyard Buddy: Outdoorsy pups will love being off-leash in one of our large play yards! Whether your dog prefers chasing a ball, getting tummy rubs, or simply sniffing around, Backyard Buddy is sure to please. 15 minutes, $17/session.
Puzzling Pooch: What better way to occupy your dog’s mind than with a yummy puzzle? We use rubber Kong toys and add peanut butter or canned food to the inside to keep your dog busy for hours. $6/Kong.
Snug as a Bug: Your dog can end their exciting day with a belly rub, an all-natural biscuit, and soothing aromatherapy. Sweet dreams! $7/session.
Fluffy Blanket: If your dog likes to snuggle under the covers, a soft and fuzzy blanket is the perfect topper for their raised Kuranda bed. $5/stay.
Cozy Cuddles: Does your dog just love to snuggle in and get affection from humans? This is the add-on for them. Our staff will spend some relaxing quality time with your pup in the comfort of their own room. 15 minutes, $17/session
Splish Splash: Does your dog love to swim? Then book them for a refreshing splash in our climate-controlled indoor pool. They can fetch a ball or just swim around and enjoy the water. $30/10 minutes or $35/20 minutes.
Social Butterfly: Is your dog a social butterfly? If so, add this adventure to their boarding stay. Your dog will get to play with a bunch of like-minded dogs, off-leash in one of our extra-large outdoor areas. 30 minutes, $17/session (must have passed the Daycare/Group Play evaluation to participate)
Daycare with a Difference: Does your dog like to keep busy? Then try Daycare with a Difference when they are boarding. They will have a full day of playing with friends and exercising their muscles as well as their brain. Dogs must pass the Daycare/Group Play evaluation to participate. 9:30am-3:30pm every weekday, excluding holidays. $30/day if staying in the suites, $35/day if staying in the standards.
Daycare/Group Play Application
Report Cards: Each boarding report card is $2/card.
Required Vaccinations
Proof of a current rabies vaccine is required for all dogs over 6 months of age. We must receive the vaccine record prior to your dog’s boarding stay. Distemper and Bordetella vaccines, as well as a flea and tick preventative, are also highly recommended. For the safety of all our guests, we cannot allow animals with fleas into our facility. If fleas are discovered on a pet already checked in, we will give them Capstar (a fast-acting oral flea treatment) and then bathe them in a natural flea shampoo. Additional charges apply. Owners will need to follow up with a flea treatment, preferably an oral treatment like NexGuard or Capstar.
Potty Schedule
Potty schedules are kept as close to homelike as possible to avoid accidents. The first let out is at 7 am and the last is around 9 pm.
Medication Administration
We are able to administer medications while your pet stays with us, for $3 per medication administration. Please bring medications in their original containers so we have accurate instructions.
What to Bring
You may bring your pet's own food. We ask that you place each meal in a Ziploc bag or put it in gallon-sized bags. Our house food, Fromm Classic, is also available for purchase, but we believe keeping your pet on a consistent diet minimizes upset stomachs, so bringing your own food is usually the best option.
Dog boarding guests are welcome to bring any personal belongings such as blankets, toys, and treats. We provide our canine guests with stainless steel dishes and Kuranda beds. We are not responsible for lost or destroyed items.
