Dogs will receive a minimum of five outdoor walks daily. All Preppy Pet locations have secure outside walk areas as some dogs will not want to go potty inside. Outside walking areas are needed, but they are difficult due to local zoning regulations and do require to be maintained, therefore many pet care providers including some large chain pet stores with a pet motel do not have outside walks.

What is the difference between Indoor play and Daycare?
Daycare dogs play in same areas but check-out before closing each day. Indoor play, Stay the Preppy Pet way with Indoor play is an option for our boarding guests. Our climate controlled indoor play areas are separated for toys, small, medium and large breeds. Our preppy theme play areas are named country clubs, yacht clubs and racquetball clubs.
Do you provide any other services such as grooming, training and adoptions?
Yes, we do offer full grooming and obedience training at select locations nationwide. With our adoption program we place pets with loving families, assist adoption agencies as well as sponsoring adoption days. Check with your local Preppy Pet for services offered and adoption day schedules.
Will I get the same type service at any Preppy Pet located nationwide?
Yes, the benefit to a franchise is consistency. So you can expect the same loving, caring services, options for you and your pets, although prices may vary with locations and some due to additional services that may be offered such as 24 hour true-care with some cage less options, airport lobby extended convenience hours and more.
Why are Preppy Pet rates lower than other upscale pet boarding providers?
We work hard to open our franchises effectively, train our Franchisees to manage efficiently, and provide the best pet care possible for the best price.
Some kennels smell bad! Why does Preppy Pet smell so good?
Preppy Pet only uses animal friendly cleaners, along with air purification systems, and our kennel suites do not hold germs and viruses that cause odors. Take our Smell and Tell Tour to learn more.
Why such big differences in local kennels we visited, where the dog sleeps in enclosed boxes with solid doors, like closets? Some even offer no cages with home type furniture, Why?
Our custom built large suites are all open view front and tops for your pet with privacy sides. The largest single cost to a boarding facility is the animal enclosures. Without having the animal enclosures also known as suites, rooms, villas, cabins or kennel runs, basically it is an empty building. To provide the best care, dogs must be separated while eating, napping and sleeping. ABKA Owners Bill of Rights states, “We will provide individual sleeping areas for boarding pets.” Preppy Pet has been a member in good standing since 2003 and always meets or exceeds the ABKA standards. To do this correctly, it is a major expense and some boarding facilities cut corners so they build something to contain the pets. Some out of wood and other home type building products then add furniture that may holds germs, viruses that can not be cleaned effectively. They usually have solid type doors in which can be very stressful on your pet if they can not see out. Please do not pay to put your dog in a box, closet or take a chance sleeping in a pack!
Why do some kennels restrict us from seeing in the back where the dog stays?
They may have several reasons why, however we are proud of our facilities and want you to take our Smell and Tell Tour. We do not have large fancy reception lobbies as we believe it is more important to see where your pet will stay, sleep and play. You are even welcome to place their toys, treats, bed and bowls in their suite.
Preppy Pet states that they are not a one price, one size fits all type pet care facility, what do you mean?
Most pet care providers do not care if you have a 3 lb Chihuahua or a 150 lb Great Dane, they do not care if your dog is an active 2 year old or a 12 year old with arthritis. They normally charge just one price with play included and they have one size kennel enclosure.
Preppy Pet charges by the suite size and we have 5 sizes to fit your pet and the size of your pet family. You will receive 50% off your second, third and fourth pets sharing the same suite! By letting us customize your stay you will not only get what you want and your pet needs, but you will save money every time with us.
How is Preppy Pet different from other pet care providers such as my veterinarian?
Many veterinarians do some boarding, most very limited with size and weight restrictions, and offer no play options. Some have no climate controlled facility, only small cages and maybe two walks. You do not stay at a hospital when you go out of town, why should your pet?
