Advanced Animal Care of Colorado
Dog Tales Lodging
Our family suites for multiple dogs are huge! We have a beautiful facility that focuses on a low-stress environment, a home away from home feel where the pets get the individualized attention and care that they would receive at home - possibly even more! Our dog suites are individual rooms with a full-height door that accesses a large exercise yard where pets get played with and get to romp off-leash safely.
Why Choose Dog Tales Lodging?
Our Day Lodging option is perfect for when you have to work a long day, your house is being remodeled, or you just got a new puppy, and your dog is not social with other dogs. With Day Lodging, your pet can stay in one of our luxury lodging suites, with access to our fenced in outdoor area, giving you peace of mind that they are well taken care of.
Our yard is partially covered for poor weather and those pooches that don't like to get their feet wet! On the other hand, the ones who love water can splash in our indoor, in ground dog pool for extra fun and exercise! Our suites have natural light from windows and have automatic water dispensers and specialized beds for lounging. We can individualize your pet's stay with activities that they prefer and will work with you to handle any special requests for feeding, medications, exercise or attention.
Our kitty condos feature multiple levels, fun climbing shelves and hide away litter boxes for privacy. Our kitties are housed on our mezzanine, with glass walls, overlooking our indoor pool - they will truly feel like they are on vacation with all the sun and fun they get to witness!
