Hops N' Paws

Hops N' Paws is a dog park and taphouse in Idaho Falls that also runs dog boarding and daycare at 1810 W Broadway St. Boarding is available 24 hours a day by reservation, and daycare runs Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Dogs are grouped by size, activity level, temperament, and age, so play groups are matched rather than thrown together.

Services and amenities

• Cage-free boarding in private suites, with 24-hour overnight stays by reservation
• Dog daycare weekdays from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM
• A large fenced off-leash outdoor dog park with obstacles
• 2,500 square feet of indoor on-leash space with plenty of seating, plus a dog-friendly patio
• 24/7 supervision and vet-grade cleaning products used throughout the day

What makes it different

Most kennels expect owners to drop off and go. Hops N' Paws is set up so people stick around too, with 12 rotating craft beer taps, wine, non-alcoholic beer, and dirty sodas on the human end of the leash. The indoor room is on-leash and the outdoor park is fenced for off-leash play. An owner can bring a dog by for an afternoon of running, or book that same dog for daycare or an overnight stay and pick them up after work.
