Dear Fellow Pet Parent,

Thank you for taking the time to look at our website and learn more about what we offer. I decided to open Playful Paws
because I have a dog whom I treat as my child and a part of the family. Baxter is a Puggle who loves people, but most of all
loves other dogs. He is always on the lookout for new playmates and I hope your four-legged kids will join us. In building and
planning Playful Paws Doggie Daycare and Boarding I used Baxter as my benchmark. Would I feel comfortable sending him
here? Would he have fun and make friends? Is there enough for him to do? I made sure all the answers would be a resounding
yes.  

I believe a clean and sanitary environment is crucial to the comfort, safety and health of our all of our guests. For this reason
every night all floors are cleaned and sanitized using special high-grade commercial floor scrubbers which kills any potential
germs. We also require that all playmates and boarding dogs are up to date on all vaccinations including Distemper, Hepatitis,
Parvo, Bordetella, and Rabies. We keep careful records and send out an e-mail reminder to every parent 30 days prior to the
expiration of any vaccine. We also offer Frontline and Advantix applications in-house, which can be scheduled ahead of time on
a monthly basis. Our outside play area consists of special antimicrobial K9 grass. By taking all of these precautions we can keep
kennel cough outbreaks often seen at other places to practically nonexistent.
For the times when you need to board your dog be it for vacation or a work trip, I have done everything I can to ensure and
environment that is as much like home as I could. We have set up the evening area to feel like a living room, with leather
couches and a TV. On many occasions I stay over with the dogs who are boarding, on other occasions one of the crew from
Playful Paws will stay. I can guarantee whoever sleeps over will take care of your dog as if they were their own.
I invite you to call to set up a tour at any time and I hope you and your dog will choose Playful Paws as your daycare and
boarding facility.

Best regards,

Johanna Kerr
