Norwichtown Pet Resort & Spa

Norwichtown Pet Resort & Spa handles dog boarding, daycare, grooming, and training in Norwich, CT, and it boards cats as well. Dogs stay in private suites rather than open runs, and the day camp operates separately for dogs who come in just for the day. Reservations are made online.

What the suites are like

Every suite is climate controlled, with heated floors for cold months and air conditioning for warm ones. Each one opens onto a covered outdoor patio looking over a country meadow, so dogs get fresh air without leaving their own space. The Imperial Suites add Kuranda beds and flat-screen TVs for dogs who settle better with a little more room to sprawl.

What dogs do during the day

Doggy Day Camp has 1,200 square feet of indoor space plus five separate outdoor play areas, which means weather rarely cancels playtime. In warm months there is an in-ground shallow pool. Boarding guests can add activity packages such as nature hikes, playdates, and snuggle dates instead of spending the whole stay in a suite.

Practical details

Meals are prepared from the resort's premium food at no additional cost, which helps dogs who need a specific diet. Staff will administer medication for dogs that require it during a stay. Proof of vaccination is required before any dog or cat is boarded. Booking runs through the online system, and questions can go to (860) 373-2085 or info@norwichtownpetresort.com. The facility also posts updates on Facebook and Instagram, which is a reasonable way to get a feel for the place before dropping a dog off for the first time.
