The Dog Lodge at Dandy Acres

01/29/2025

🐶Attention all clients!🐶
We have an exciting announcement to make! The Dog Lodge has entered the FUTURE and now has a new digital software, PawPartner, designed to make managing your dog’s care easier than ever. With PawPartner you can:
🌐Book & cancel reservations for Overnight Lodging up to 1 year in advance
🥎Book Daycare reservations up to 1 month in advance
🌐Upload your own vaccine records (Including for the now required 👾LEPTO VACCINE👾- read more below)
🥎View pictures of your dog during their stay
🌐Message us directly at the Dog Lodge!

We’ve done most of the work by already creating you a client profile, updating vaccine records, and all information we have on file for your pet INCLUDING any and all reservations already booked with us! However, we’ll need your help with the following:
📧Provide us us your preferred ELECTRONIC MAILING ADDRESS so you can connect to your account
💾Check and update any information that is missing
👾Leptospirosis (Lepto) Vaccine Requirement👾 We now require the Lepto vaccine for all dogs. This vaccine is highly recommended by most veterinarians and is often paired with DHPP. If your dog already has the vaccine, simply let us know (or upload your own vaccine records) and we’ll update the record. If your dog doesn’t have this vaccine yet, you’ll have time to schedule it with your veterinarian
🐶While we are not currently requiring a reservation for all dogs in our Small and Extra Small playgroups for Daycare, we do ask that clients using PawPartner begin putting their planned daycare days in the system.

If you would like to set up your own account, please click the following link: https://pawpartner.com/pz/book?p=2074310
*Please note if you set up your own account and you have brought your dog here before, one of our employees will need to manually mark that your dog has passed their introduction day on our end. Once we do so, you will be free to book! Just let us know and we will adjust that for you 😁

🤖Prefer to keep things simple?🤖
Not to worry! You can utilize this system as much or as little as you like. Our staff is still happy to book your reservations over the phone, over email, or in person. We're always here for you!

It’s time to welcome 2025 with our January Dog of the Month, the Zealous and Zestful Zoey! This lovely red Labrador Retriever has a lot of spirit. Like many Labs, Zoey loves her people! We always love showering her with extra attention, who could resist that face? When she’s not getting the affirmation that yes, she is a good girl, she loves romping around with a few of her regular buddies. You’ll often see her play-bowing and bouncing around with Elway or chasing a Kong with Beretta- it’s so cute! She’s a big goofball when she’s playing with her friends and we love having her in our playgroups. Congratulations Zoey, for earning your spot as our first Dog of the Month in 2025!

We had a blast today with Ugly Sweater Day! 🎀 Although, if we're being honest, it's hard to label any of these sweaters 'ugly' when these cuties pull them off so well! 💅

Happy National Ugly Holiday Sweater Day! We are celebrating here at the hospital, along with our friends over at The Dog Lodge at Dandy Acres 😄⛄🎉 Check out our sweaters and share pics of you and your pet's sweaters too!

Meet our December Dog of the Month, the wily Willow! Miss Willow is a lovely 3 year old German Shepherd. Like all German Shepherds, she has a drive to work and is eager to please! You can often find her trying to help our staff manage the play group. But don’t be fooled, her job isn’t actually work-intensive here; she just plays with the high energy dogs to give them something to do. Willow is one of the more accepting dogs; she gets along with just about anyone she meets! Because of this, her father occasionally will foster homeless dogs to help them on their way. Willow is a wonderful foster-sister, guiding these lost spirits and helping them build confidence! We truly appreciate Willow for the spectacular dog she is and are so proud to announce her as our December Dog of the Month! 🐶🩷 Congrats! 🩷🐶

Meet our November Dog of the Month, the charming Charlie! Charlie is a 5 year old Cocker Spaniel/King Charles Spaniel mix. Obviously he’s quite the looker! Charlie is definitely one of the most handsome dogs in our playgroups, with his long well kept ears and big brown eyes. Charlie isn’t just a pretty face; he also has an all-star personality to back it up! He gets along with just about everyone and easily makes friends with all other dogs. He’s just got that cheerful, affectionate Spaniel demeanor that draws both dogs and people to him. We always know when Charlie comes in, our day will brighten! For that, we are so happy to name Charlie as our November Dog of the Month! Congrats!

To all valued clients-

After 10 years of running The Dog Lodge, I come on here today to say my goodbyes. I am stepping down from my position. If you knew me as the manager, you knew how very important all your dogs are to me. I worked very hard to provide them my very best and have been honored to watch them all grow. I took care of them as my own and will always hold close the memories I shared with all of you.
I thank you for being a part in my journey ♥️
I wish you all the best ♥️

Jamie

Meet our October Dog of the Month, King Kelso! This Labrador Retriever mix is confident, sturdy, and resilient. Kelso is a more independent fellow, but he’s no wallflower. Despite his more solitary nature, he greatly enjoys socializing at daycare with all his friends! Especially with the staff! If you don’t know where Kelso is, just wait a moment and he’ll pop right up between your legs waiting for some good pets. You can always spot him with a Kong in his mouth and a spring in his step. Kelso loves the extra attention and it’s hard to resist his sweet face and bright eyes! Congratulations on earning your spot as our October Dog of the Month, Kelso! We’re so excited for you!

Meet our September Dog of the Month, Silly Billy! Billy is a Shih Tzu who has been a long term Daycare regular. Nothing perks him up more than when his mom asks him “Do you wanna go see the puppies?”. Billy jumps right up and runs to the door! We’re always excited when he struts in. Billy is a pretty special little guy- he’s confident, happy, and an all-around delight to be around. Billy loves to socialize with his buddies but is also always ready to ham-it-up with whoever can give him the best scritches. It’s hard to resist those big, brown eyes! We are so excited to name Billy as our September Dog of the Month! Congrats, Billy!

Meet our August Dog of the Month, the confident & charismatic Crimson! Miss Crimson is a three year old mini Goldendoodle with a lot of s***k. She is well known for her long dancer’s legs and bold personality. Crimson struts into daycare in knowing she’s the Queen of the Small Dogs! She’s often spotted bouncing around with her buddies, especially her Doodle doppelgangers. When she’s not running around with her friends, Crimson is found snuggling up with the staff here. She’s incredibly affectionate and loves to hug our legs while we give her extra scratches. We are so excited to name Crimson as our August Dog of the Month! Congrats!

Meet our July Dog of the Month, the large & lively Louie! This handsome boy is a black Labrador Retriever. Though he’s definitely one of our beefier Labs and can put on a tough front, Louie is actually very sensitive. He loves hamming it up to our staff to get extra love! When he’s not taking advantage of getting extra pets, Louie is often seen chasing a Kong- or more likely the dog carrying it! He loves to buddy up with other dogs over the toys and is often spotted playing ‘keep away’ with his pals. It’s all in good fun though, as you’ll often see him ‘accidentally’ drop his toy to keep the game going! Everyone loves partying it up with this goofy guy! Congrats to our lovable lug, Louie, on becoming our July Dog of the Month!
