Lucky Pawz

Lucky Pawz is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 130 Stevens Drive in Iowa City, Iowa, offering overnight stays for dogs and puppies along with supervised daytime play. Owners comparing dog boarding in Iowa City can pick a stay that includes daycare or a quieter boarding-only option.

What boarding options does Lucky Pawz offer?

Standard boarding includes daycare playtime, so dogs spend their days with a group instead of waiting in a kennel. The boarding-only option is for dogs that do better on their own. Those dogs get individual visits to an exercise yard during the day.

Every boarding dog has its own kennel with a blanket and water. Dogs from the same household may share a kennel if their owners prefer.

How does daycare work?

The kennel describes socialization and exercise as the main reason for daycare. Dogs are grouped by temperament and activity level, so energetic players and quieter dogs each end up with similar company. Staff post daily photos and blog updates, which lets owners check in on their dog's day from work or while traveling.
