ABOUT US
Our five-star accommodation facility is located in the Raleigh/Durham area and specializes in individualized boarding and grooming. We have sized accommodations for up to 70 dogs and 20 cats, and a separate facility for birds, guinea pigs and other exotic pets. While at Creature Comforts Inn, our dedicated staff will provide to your pet the finest care tailored to his special needs. We ar

e located adjacent to Cornwallis Road Animal Hospital; therefore, your pet is just next door in the event medical treatment should ever become necessary. Creature Comforts Inn is a proud member of ABKA (American Boarding Kennels Association) which provides a set of standards to bring professionalism into the boarding kennel industry and “state of the art” in animal care and management. As a member of the American Boarding Kennels Association, this kennel freely acknowledges and willingly accepts the serious responsibility involved in the care of your beloved pets. CCI is regularly inspected by the veterinary division of N.C. of Agriculture and the Durham County Fire Marshall which only confirm our demand for excellence by receiving the highest accreditation. ABOUT OUR FACILITY
You will find accommodations to be first class in our facility. We offer two sized runs from which you may choose for your boarding needs. The smaller run is 3x10 and has room to board two small dogs under 15lbs. For the more active or larger dog, we offer the 4x12 run and can accomodate 2 large dogs. We also have 6 luxury suites located in the front of our inn that have a window, toddler bed, and calming music streamed into the suite. The entire kennel is large and open complete with high ceiling fans for air movement. The inside temperature is held at a comfortable 70-72 degrees year round. Soothing music is played throughout the facility, providing a calming atmosphere for all our pets. Cats board in a separate area of the facility, where they cannot hear or smell the dogs. Our feline suites include the option of either a condo or stainless steel kennel. The condos give your finicky cat plenty of room to move about with a nice window view of the outside bird and squirrel life. The stainless steel kennels are a little smaller, but provide safe adequate housing for your feline friend. A luxury suite is also available (complete with cat condo tree, window view, cat toys and comfy bedding) for your cat who is accustomed to the finest accommodations. We provide playroom time daily to all our feline boarders to allow time to stretch, climb and play with toys. POLICIES
It is very important for the health of your dog or cat that they are current on all vaccinations: DHLP-P, Rabies, and Bordatella for dogs; FVRCP and Rabies for cats. If your pet has never had a bordatella vaccine we require that to be given 2 weeks prior to their stay or groom with us. If your pet has had the Bordatella vaccine and it has been more than one month past due on it we require it to be updated 48 hours prior to you stay or groom with us. If your pet is to be groomed and is not current on vaccinations, we will need to reschedule the groom or bath once the animal is current. We want to ensure that your pet’s stay at Creature Comforts Inn is as comfortable and pleasant as possible. We encourage you to come by anytime to take a tour. A member of our staff will give you a detailed tour, during which he/she will answer all your questions. You will see why Creature Comforts Inn is the “Inn Place to Be!!”

Holiday Boarding Preparation

Tips and tricks!

As the busy holidays approach, we have some tips to help the check-in process go as easy as possible!

1) Less is best! Make sure you only pack the essentials for your pet, such as food and medications. We provide comfortable sleeping quarters and bowls for your pet, so unless they need something for health reasons, it's best to pack less. Exotics are the exception as we ask you bring plenty of necessary supplies for them!
2) Verify your information via the online portal! For your convenience we offer the ability to view and modify your boarding reservation online. Add services like daycare, put in feeding/medication information, list the belongings you plan to bring, give us other important notes, and even sign our contracts digitally. This will save you a lot of time and the info can be saved indefinitely for future visits!
3) Check over your invoices! At the time of creating the reservation you should've received a preliminary invoice estimate. If not, please request one before drop off to make sure your pending charges seem accurate to you.
4) Come early if possible! Due to the high volume of pets staying with us over Thanksgiving and Christmas, we ask that you refrain from coming close to closing time if at all possible. We understand many people are planning around work and travel schedules, but if you can come earlier in the day the process might go a lot quicker for ya!
5) Please be patient! During these busy times our crew is working feverishly to attend to everyone in a timely manner. We ask that you please be patient when dropping off or picking up. We are doing our best!

As a reminder, here are the only holiday hour changes you can expect at this time:

Thanksgiving Day - CLOSED (technicians will still attend to your pets)

Christmas Eve - No changes

Christmas Day - CLOSED (technicians will still attend to your pets)

New Years Day - CLOSED (technicians will still attend to your pets)

Some other important notes regarding other services during the upcoming holidays:

We will NOT be accepting drop-off daycare from Tuesday, November 23rd through Monday, November 29th due to the high volume of boarding dogs in our care. We will resume those drop-off services Tuesday, November 30th. We will conduct daycare activities for boarding pets as normal during this time.

At this time we do not have any daycare updates for Christmas, but stay tuned!

On behalf of the entire Creature Comforts Family we would like to thank you for your continued support and we hope to see all of you soon!

All the best,
The Creature Crew

To our valued Creature Comforts Inn clients and pets,



Here at Creature Comforts Inn, we constantly strive to provide the best possible care for your furry and feathered family members. We are excited to announce some upcoming changes to our line of services to improve that care.



As of Monday, September 13th, 2021, we will be launching the following services changes:

Dog Boarding:

We will walk all dogs a minimum of three times a day. Now that it is included, we will remove the option to add that extra potty walk.
After five consecutive nights with us, eligible dogs will receive a complimentary go-home bath. Eligibility is based on behavior assessment and health status.
Suites will remain all-inclusive, with the option of group daycare or personal playtime included.
We will still have some great al le carte service options, such as:

Frozen mid-day treat
Daily picture updates (coming soon)
More in the future!
There will be a slight increase in boarding costs and suite pricing to help us better serve you and your pup. Please see our website at https://creaturecomfortsinn.com/ for updated pricing.
Doggie Daycare:
Group Doggie Daycare and Personal Playtimes will be merging into a single service. Personal Play Times will be considered a daycare option for pups that can't be in a group. Dogs will receive 15-20 minutes of playtime twice a day.
Unfortunately, with the expanded playtime, we can no longer combine Personal Playtimes with Group Daycare.
Group Doggie Daycare will continue to be offered twice a day.
There will be a slight increase in Group Doggie Daycare/Personal Playtimes costs and suite pricing to help us better serve you and your pup. Please see our website at https://creaturecomfortsinn.com/ for updated pricing.
We will not be performing daycare activities on Saturdays, Sundays, or national holidays. You will not be charged for these days. Suites include daycare as a complimentary service so the overnight charge will not change on weekends.
Grooming:
For the foreseeable future, we will not be offering grooming services that include trimming, shaving, and de-shedding
Bathing:
We are excited to expand our bathing services. Our premium bathing services will be split into the following categories:
Basic Bath: oatmeal shampoo, conditioner, and cage dry
Deluxe Bath: premium shampoo, conditioner, cologne, blow dry, brushing, and bandana
We are still offering the following add-on services for baths:
Nail trim or Dremel (no longer included with bath)
Toothbrushing
Ear cleaning
Medicated shampoo option
Please see our website at https://creaturecomfortsinn.com/ for updated pricing.
Cat Boarding:
Unfortunately, we will no longer be offering suites for cats. However, our condos are a fantastic option.
Cats will be receiving 1-2 private playtime rotations into our new cat playroom!
Exotic and Avian Boarding:
We will not be changing any pricing for our avian and exotic friends



On behalf of all of us here at Creature Comforts Inn, we want to thank you all for being such a fantastic, supportive community. We are ecstatic to venture into these new waters with you and take our level of care and enrichment to new heights. Please reach out to us with any questions, concerns or to share your ideas of what you'd like to see from us in the future.



Thank you for trusting Creature Comforts Inn with your pet's care.

Hello friends and family of Creature Comforts Inn!



We are reaching out with an important update regarding our lobby hours during the month of August.

Beginning Saturday, August 7th through the end of the month we will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays for staff training and operation updates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Rest assured your beloved pets will be cared for by our wonderful kennel staff each and every day they are with us, we just won’t have our reception department operating. If your pet is staying with us during August and you have a scheduled Sunday pick up then we will be getting in touch with you to make arrangements very soon.



We anticipate that our lobby will resume normal operating hours in September but we will stay in touch to let you know if that changes. Thank you all for your ongoing support and we look forward to exciting new adventures in the near future!

For daycare pets, all social times will be performed in our indoor play area.

For boarders that are staying overnight with us, the thermostat is currently turned up even more to combat severe conditions. In the event of possible power outage, the backup generator turns on automatically. Our dedicated staff will be on site promptly at 7 am to check on everyone.
