What is the place like?

The team describes its goal as a safe, clean and comfortable place where each dog is treated like family. Their website has a warm, personal tone and talks about paying attention to the details of every stay. The staff are described as experienced, and dogs have room to play both indoors and outside.

The party rentals are a less common extra. Owners can reserve the indoor or outdoor playground for a dog's birthday or simply a fun get-together with other dogs.

Practical details for owners

The resort is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and on Saturday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The early weekday opening makes morning drop-off easier for people heading to work. All dogs must be current on their vaccinations before they board or join daycare.

Owners who want to look around first can schedule a facility tour by appointment. To ask questions or set up a visit, call 479-763-1188. The resort also has a Facebook page under the name Bowz and Bones Pet Resort.
