Why Choose Us?

Free to Roam

We have a free-roam environment, where dogs are kenneled only during feedings to avoid any food-related aggression. While we do have kennels available if your pup needs some alone time or if you prefer they are kenneld at night, all dogs in our care are free to roam throughout the play areas and pick their favorite spot to snooze. We even have real furniture (beds, chairs, etc.) to provide an environment as close to home as possible. Our goal is to make A Dog’s World your pet’s favorite retreat when they can’t be with you.

We work hard to ensure that there is an appropriate balance of play time and structure.  We take seriously our responsibility to provide an environment that promotes the happiness, health, wellness, and general welfare of all dogs in our care.  By allowing our dogs to roam in a safe, secure, and supervised environment, we provide necessary socialization, education, and exercise making them better canine citizens for us all.

Poop Happens!

Yep, it sure does!  We adhere to strict cleaning and disinfectant protocols – using only products that are safe for dogs, humans, and the environment.   All sanitizers used are PACFA approved and registered with the EPA.  We proudly use the following brands:

• Melaleuca, The Wellness Company – dedicated to safe, effective, and eco-friendly products for over 30 years
• Better Life – Made in the USA biodegradable, plant-based products provide clean without compromise
• Seventh Generation – plant-based products packaged with recycled materials meant to be recycled or degraded
• Earth Rated – supply compostable poop bags and those with an EPI additive which allows the bags to break down, is non-toxic, and produces no harmful residue

In addition to the above products, we’ve taken the extra step in dealing with outdoor pet waste.  Instead of bagging the waste and sending it off to the landfill where it can leach into the ground and surface water, we have installed a Powerloo. This in-ground pet waste disposal hooks directly to the existing sewer system and allows us to flush the waste in a sanitary, eco-friendly manner.

Last but not least, we have installed outdoor lighting in compliance with Douglas County guidelines and recognized by the International Dark-Sky Association in order to reduce our impact on the environment.  Using  this specialized lighting, we reduce light pollution, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. We love our community and the wildlife that surround us – and we’re doing all we can to protect the integrity and beauty of our neighborhood.  We live here too!
