Owned by Kelly Cullum, Best Friends Fur Ever serves dog owners in the Joppa, Maryland, area. The facility offers overnight boarding, daycare, grooming stations, training programs, and large play areas, both indoors and outdoors. Other services include pet homecare when dogs are not suitable candidates for boarding. Best Friends also maintains a store stocked with flea and tick prevention products, nutritional foods, and all-natural dog treats. The dog care center?s knowledgeable staff members are experienced working with puppies, special needs dogs, and geriatric canines, as well.
For dogs that are boarded overnight, the Best Friends staff treats them as if the stay is a vacation. All dogs are provided exercise and playtime and regularly scheduled meals. V?RUS premium dog food is provided; however, pet owners may bring their own food and the staff can accommodate special dietary needs, as well. Dogs sleep in ?Suite Crates,? which are climate controlled and offer comfortable bedding. Each pet is secured in the suite throughout the night while soft classical music plays in the background to ease them into a restful sleep. The staff periodically checks on the dogs, ensuring 24-hour care for them. In addition, dogs are not placed in traditional runs during the day or in the evening. Instead, they enjoy playing in the 1.5 acre outdoor camp when the weather permits, or indoors in the 5,000 square-foot, 72-degree climate-controlled playroom.
For pet owners who prefer that their dogs stay at home when they leave town, Best Friends provides pet home care services. During these home visits, bonded caregivers give dogs and cats food, water, medication, and plenty of attention. House sitters also clean up accidents, water plants, clean crates and litter boxes, take out the trash, and bring in the mail.
In addition to 24-hour care and dog home care, Best Friends Fur Ever offers dog training and grooming. Dog training packages include group instruction, one-on-one lessons, and in-home teaching. The salon and spa at the care center are equipped with professional tools to bathe and style any breed. Pet owners also have the option of bathing their dogs at two do-it-yourself stations.
