🍂 Tuesday Tip: Fall is in the Air—And Your Dog Feels It Too! 🍂

As the weather shifts from summer sunshine to crisp autumn mornings, our dogs notice the change just as much as we do. Here are a few ways the season can affect them:

🐾 Energy Levels – Cooler temps often mean extra zoomies! Many pups feel more playful and energetic when it’s not so hot.

🐾 Shedding Shifts – Dogs shed their summer coats to make way for their warmer winter fur. Regular brushing can help keep your home (and your pup) comfortable.

🐾 Joint Comfort – Just like us, older dogs may feel stiffer as temps drop. A little extra warm-up on walks and cozy bedding can help.

🐾 Seasonal Allergies – Fall pollen and mold can trigger sneezing, itching, or watery eyes in some dogs. Keep an eye out for signs.

🍁 With the days getting shorter, reflective gear or lights are a smart way to stay visible on evening walks!

Even the most energetic pups can’t resist a good nap after an adventure with The Houndry—even before we pull out of the driveway!

Our hikes are designed to give dogs the exercise, enrichment, and social time they crave—so they come home happy, content, and (most importantly) tuckered out. 💛

🐾 Tuesday Tip: Keep Those Nails Trimmed! 🐾

Long nails aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they can cause real problems for your dog.

When nails get too long, they can:
✂️ Change the way your dog walks, putting strain on joints and muscles
✂️ Cause pain or even split and break
✂️ Increase the risk of getting caught on carpet or trails

💡 Tip: Check your dog’s nails regularly—if you can hear them clicking on the floor, it’s probably time for a trim. Keeping nails short keeps paws healthy and adventures more comfortable! 🐶✨

🐾 Dog Ears: Nature’s Superpower 🐾

Ever notice how your dog hears the treat bag before you’ve even touched it?
That’s because dogs can hear up to four times farther than humans and can detect frequencies we can’t even imagine!

👂 They can hear sounds as high as 65,000 Hz (we top out around 20,000 Hz).
👂 Each ear moves independently, helping them pinpoint exactly where a sound is coming from.
👂 Their incredible hearing helps them pick up on tiny noises—like a squirrel rustling leaves—from far away.

So the next time your pup c***s their head at a faint sound, remember: they’re basically hearing in high-definition surround sound. 🎧🐶

Our Story

We strive to be THE place where you can leave your dog while you are away for your long shift and not have to worry about them for a minute! You can check in on your dog via live video and get a detailed up-to-the-minute report via our app. We wish to provide our community of dog lovers a service that is unlike any other in Oak Ridge. The Houndry has two separate areas for big dogs and little dogs (based on size AND temperment). The large dog space is over 2400 sq ft Indoors with 2500 sq ft outdoors as well, and the small dogs will have their own separate space and outdoor area away from the larger dogs. Our pick up and drop off hours run from 7am to 7pm with the option of extended hours for those working longer shifts for $3 every extra 15 minutes (per family). We have crates for rest breaks, lunch time (if you provide lunch) and time outs for rough play. ALL dogs will need to be FULLY vaccinated with Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella, and also be Spayed or Neutered if over the age of 6 months. Go to our website and fill out our New Client form on our website. Evaluation Days are $15 per family and every dog will need to be evaluated before they are accepted into the daycare program. That $15 then gets applied to their first full day! Call ahead to schedule a tour!

We are not a boarding facility and do not provide overnight care.
