CoolWag

CoolWag is a dog boarding and daycare business on a five-acre property at 210 Prairie Lane in Bentonville, Arkansas. It takes dogs of every size, from small to giant, and also boards cats and small pets. Dogs are grouped by size, age, and personality, and the grounds are divided into separate areas for play, enrichment, pool time, and agility.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding with staff on site 24/7
• Daycare with large indoor and outdoor play yards
• Training, including AKC Canine Good Citizen testing and a S.T.A.R. Puppy program
• Grooming
• Medication administration and special diet feeding

What makes it different

The training credentials are the clearest thing setting CoolWag apart from a straightforward kennel stay. Staff hold canine certifications through the International Boarding & Pet Services Association, and the team is PetTech CPR and First Aid trained. There is an AKC CGC Evaluator on staff and a NADD judge, which lines up with the dock diving and dog sports side of the property.

Indoor space is climate controlled, and there are both indoor play areas and fenced outdoor space, so a day here doesn't hinge on Arkansas weather. Dogs that need medication or a specific diet can be accommodated.
