First Choice Grooming & Boarding, LLC

First Choice Grooming & Boarding, LLC provides dog boarding and dog daycare in Appleton, WI, at W6387 County Road JJ. The business also boards cats and small animals and runs a grooming shop at the same location. Dogs stay in their own kennels rather than in group play rooms, and that choice shapes how the whole operation works.

How boarding works here

Boarding is non-communal. Each dog gets an individual kennel with its own indoor/outdoor run, so there is no shared space with dogs from other households. The building is temperature-controlled, and the heating and cooling system exchanges the air four times per hour. Dogs, cats, and small animals are boarded in separate rooms, and the air system is state-approved so the dog and cat areas do not share air. Total capacity is 27.

Staff take dogs for daily walks and let them out at least five times a day for bathroom breaks. They feed the food owners send along, following the feeding instructions given at drop-off, and they can handle special diets. Medications are administered as directed. Someone is on the property with the animals around the clock.
