Boarding Preparation
Caring for your four-legged family members is our top priority! Paws and Claws' boarding is available 7 days a week to provide a vacation for your pets and peace of mind for you! Our dedicated staff knows the key to your pet's happiness while staying with us is getting to know them and providing care customized to suit their individual needs. Our Chippewa Valley facility offers clean, spacious rooms and suites with features that will remind your pet of home.
Our Boarding Difference
Pamper your pet during their stay with individual activities or by joining in on the fun at doggie daycare or group play on the weekends! From getting to know you and your pets, to the meticulous safety features, to subtle touches, we've thought of all the little things, so you don't have to worry.
All boarding reservations require a 50% deposit at the time of booking. This deposit is 100% refundable as long as you cancel with at least 24 hour notice.

*Please note that pets checking out after 12:30pm will receive an additional half-day boarding charge. If your pet has a bath, full groom, or daycare on their departure date they will NOT be charged the half-day fee.
Boarding does not include a departure bath. We take a number of measures to prevent the rooms and suites from becoming smelly, with heated floors to ensure they stay dry and frequent potty times to avoid accidents.
Please call ahead if you'd like to schedule a tour.
