AnimaLodge Pet Resort

AnimaLodge Pet Resort is a pet lodging and grooming facility on Allendale Road in Laurel, Montana, handling dog boarding and dog daycare for area owners. Reservations are made by phone, and the facility keeps hours seven days a week.

What they offer

Overnight guests go out to outside runs a minimum of five times per day. Day camp is four hours of off-leash group play. Dogs that aren't a fit for a group setting can be booked for individual playtimes instead. Food, bedding, and bowls are provided, and staff will feed a pet's own diet from home when the owner sends it along with feeding instructions.

• Overnight boarding with food, bedding, and bowls provided
• Four-hour off-leash group day camp
• Individual playtimes for dogs not suited to group play
• Grooming on site
• Live webcam access

What sets it apart

Guests are separated by size and temperament, so a small dog is not turned loose with a group of much larger ones. Webcam access lets owners look in on their dog during the day rather than wondering how it's going. Grooming happens at the same address, which keeps a bath and a boarding stay on one trip.
