My Frenchie LOVES Hounds Town. She's always super excited when she realizes that she's going to daycare. The staff are so friendly and know all of the dogs by name. I can't recommend this doggo daycare enough.

My Moka always has a great time at hounds town boarding when we go on vacation. They take good care of her and post pictures throughout her stay. She loves to socialize with other dogs. They also do a great job with her exit bath so she smells good after her fun.
