Happy Dog Hotel

Happy Dog Hotel is a climate-controlled dog boarding facility at 4406 NE Evangeline Thruway in Carencro, LA, serving pet owners across Acadiana. Owners Ginny and Herb run the place themselves and handle the daily care, so dogs see the same familiar people throughout their stay.

What kinds of rooms does Happy Dog Hotel offer?

Boarding comes in three levels: Standard, Deluxe, and Luxury suites. Every room has a Kuranda pet bed, and the hotel plays doggie videos, cable TV, and music picked with pets in mind. Dogs staying in a Luxury suite also get an evening treat left on the pillow. Published nightly rates run from $42 to $62.

How does the layout keep dogs calm?

The hotel doesn't keep every dog in one big room. Its suites are spread across six separate pavilions, so fewer dogs are within earshot of each other and the stay stays quieter. Private suites add to that calm, which can help dogs who get stressed around a crowd.

What else is available on-site?

• Private, climate-controlled suites at three comfort levels
• Kuranda pet beds in every room
• Grooming services
• Pet supplies for sale, including toys, food, shampoos, clothes, and deodorizers
• Boarding through the holidays
