Black Bayou Boarding LLC

Black Bayou Boarding LLC is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 8802 Roy Road in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Dogs spend their days in group play and sleep in assigned kennels that are air-conditioned and heated. For owners comparing dog boarding in Lake Charles, this place leans social, with a large fenced yard and a screening step before any dog joins the group.

What does a stay look like?

Much of the day happens outside in a 7,000 sq ft fenced play area. On hot days, dogs can cool off in a stock tank pool and baby pools. Smaller dogs get their own play area for pups 20 lbs and under, so they aren't mixing with the big dogs all day.

Owners can choose group play or private boarding. Either way, dogs return to their own climate-controlled kennel. Staff send photo and video updates during stays, which helps owners who are traveling.
