Amanda's Pet Salon

Amanda's Pet Salon handles dog boarding in Florence, MS, out of a storefront at 2617 Highway 49 S. The business lodges cats too, so a household with both can leave everyone at one address. Grooming is the other half of what it does.

Services listed

The service list is short and specific rather than sprawling:

• Boarding and lodging for dogs and cats
• Flea baths
• Flea control
• Nail clipping and trimming
• Clipping

That mix tells you something about how the place runs. A pet can come in for a bath and a nail trim, or stay for a stretch while the family is out of town. Owners fighting a flea problem can get the bath and the follow-up control treatment from the same business.

Booking and location

Reservations go through the phone: (601) 891-8229. The shop is at 2617 Highway 49 S in Florence, MS 39073. Calling ahead matters more at a small operation than at a chain, since a kennel run either has space that week or it doesn't.

What to ask on the call

Published detail about the boarding side is thin, so the phone call is where the real answers live. Worth asking: how the runs are sized, what the daily routine looks like, which vaccination records to bring, and what a night costs. Anyone with a dog on medication or a specific feeding schedule should raise it then, too. A five-minute conversation with the people who will be handling the dog beats any amount of listing copy.
