Macon Pet Resort and Spa

• Cage-free boarding

What sets this kennel apart?

The resort is a member of The American Boarding and Kennel Association. Webcam access lets owners check on their dog while they are away, which helps on a first stay. The website describes the facility as set up to lower stress for pets and their owners during time apart. The overall feel is that of a small local business that wants families to stop in and see the place for themselves.

What should owners know before booking?

Boarding runs from $30 to $40 per night, depending on the accommodation chosen. The resort accepts small dogs only, so owners of bigger breeds will need another option. Current vaccinations are required for every stay. Reservations are made by phone at (478) 471-7388, and the site notes that calling is the fastest way to reach staff. Space can get tight around the holidays, so it pays to call early.

When is it open?

Business hours are 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday. The resort is closed on Sunday. Owners can also send questions by email to maconpet@aol.com.
