The sound of happy, excited barks fill the air as you walk into A Dogs Day Out, a boarding kennel with a newtwist. It offers competitively priced boarding services for dogs for up to 30 days. In contrast to traditional boarding kennels, dogs are placed in one of three large indoor areas according to their size. Dogs spend 12 hours per day in these open areas, and are encouraged to play and interact with other dogs. In the evening, the animals are given their own crate in which to sleep.
