What services does Central Paws Resort offer?

The resort handles the main needs of a traveling pet owner in one place. Dogs can stay overnight in a standard kennel or a private suite, spend the day at daycare, or get groomed before pickup.

• Overnight dog boarding in a climate-controlled building
• Luxury private suites with an in-suite TV
• Dog daycare with an indoor play area
• On-site grooming
• A separate, quiet cat boarding area

What sets it apart from other kennels?

The biggest difference is the veterinarian on site. That can be reassuring for owners of older dogs or pets with health concerns. Boarders also get three supervised playtimes each day, so dogs aren't left sitting in a kennel from morning to night.

The play spaces are a big part of the appeal. Along with the indoor play area, there is an AstroTurf outdoor yard with kiddie pools and ball pits. The luxury suites suit dogs that prefer more privacy and a quieter setup than a standard kennel. Cats stay in their own quiet area, separate from the dog side of the building.

What should owners know before booking?

Published nightly rates range from $25 to $70, depending on the service. Households with more than one pet can ask about the sharing discounts offered for multiple pets. Vaccinations are required, so it helps to have your pet's records ready before you reserve.

Bookings are made online. For questions, Central Paws Resort can be reached at 309-291-1994 or info@centralpawsresort.net.
