Happy Dog Ranch & Resort

Happy Dog Ranch & Resort provides dog boarding and daycare in Trimble, MO, on a secluded 40-acre ranch near Smithville Lake. The property sits away from busy roads and has multiple fenced outdoor play yards. Dogs move between those yards and climate-controlled indoor space through the day.

What's included

• Overnight boarding with two meals a day and water available all day
• Daycare with time in the outdoor yards
• Individual 4'x4' or 4'x6' areas for sleeping and eating
• Medication administration for dogs who need it
• Picture and video updates for owners while they are away

What sets it apart

Play groups stay small, at 8 to 10 dogs per yard, and dogs are grouped by personality rather than by whoever shows up that day. Dogs who would rather vacation alone can be kept separate, in their own space. Staff credentials include an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer and an Animal Behavior College Certified Vet Assistant. The ranch is licensed with the Missouri Department of Agriculture.

Hours, rates, and booking

Boarding rates published by the ranch run $40 to $80 per night. The ranch is open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Reservations are made online, and a free meet and greet is required before a first booking.

Vaccinations are required for both boarding and daycare, so owners should have records ready at the meet and greet. The ranch is at 7003 SW 214th St, Trimble, MO 64492, and reachable at (816) 922-9914.
