CJ's Purple Paw

CJ's Purple Paw offers dog boarding and daycare in Fargo, ND, from a facility at 4306 76th Ave S that also takes cats and handles grooming. The approach here is holistic. Raw food diets, homemade meals, and quality kibble are all options, and visiting practitioners come in for homeopathy, flower essences, essential oils, and massage.

Where the dogs stay

Boarding guests get private 4x10 suites built with solid walls, so a dog can't see the neighbors while settling in. An indoor play area connects to outdoor space, and play time is arranged in small groups or one on one. That setup matters for dogs who do better away from a crowd. Staff also administer medication and work with special diets.

Cats have their own floor

Feline guests board upstairs in a separate cattery, each in a private condo. Both regular and jumbo sizes are available, which gives larger cats, or cats from the same household, more room to spread out.
