Fusion Pet Retreat

Fusion Pet Retreat provides dog boarding and daycare in Minnetonka, MN, from its facility at 14901 Minnetonka Industrial Road. It accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds to giant ones, and also boards cats in private condos in a dedicated kitty wing. Rabbits, hamsters and other small critters can stay as well.

Services and amenities

Several services run out of the same building, so a dog can board, get groomed, and take a class without changing locations.

• Boarding in private kennels, private suites, and non-social rooms for dogs who prefer no dog interaction
• Daycare with playgroups capped at no more than 10 dogs
• Grooming and training classes
• Medication administration and special diets for dogs who need them
• Climate-controlled indoor play space plus 8,000 sq. ft. of privately fenced outdoor play yards

What sets it apart

Dogs sleep in private kennels outfitted with raised Kuranda beds and their own water and food dishes. Geriatric suites sit in a quieter area for older dogs who do better away from the noise. A 36-camera surveillance system covers the facility. The stated approach leans toward individualized care, with small playgroups, frequent rest breaks, and staff who get to know each animal rather than running everyone through the same routine.

Training is led by CPDT-KA certified trainers, and the pet care staff is trained by a certified behaviorist. The grooming side includes a Pet Stylist certificate from the Paragon School of Pet Grooming.
