Cassio Pet Resort & Training Center

Cassio Pet Resort & Training Center is a boarding kennel, daycare, and training facility on Mount Pleasant Road in Newtown, CT. It handles dog boarding in Newtown for small, medium, and large dogs, and cats stay in a separate quiet room with windows. Grooming and training run out of the same building, so a boarding stay can also include a bath or a lesson.

What the kennel offers

Dogs get individual guest rooms rather than shared runs, each with its own indoor and outdoor exercise area. The boarding areas use a UV-C germicidal air filtration system, and the building is climate-controlled. Staff live on the premises, which means someone is on site around the clock.

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats, plus day stays
• Private suites with personal indoor and outdoor exercise space
• Full-service grooming
• Group classes and private training lessons
• Medication administration and special diets on request

What sets it apart

Outside, there is a Play Yard surfaced with clean "Natura" grass for dogs who need room to run. The K-9 Kabanas are private 20' x 20' outdoor areas where a dog can rest and watch the day go by. There is also a spring-fed swimming pond with a dock for dogs that like to jump.

Practical details

The resort is open every day, 8:15 AM to 6:00 PM. Published rates run $40 to $50 per day. Reservations are taken by phone at 203-426-2881, and every dog and cat needs current vaccinations before arriving. The property sits at 173 Mount Pleasant Road, Newtown, CT 06470.
