What services does Pack AMO offer?

• Overnight boarding, including private suites
• Dog daycare with indoor play space
• Training, including board and train
• Pickup and drop-off service
• Medication administration for dogs that need it

What sets this ranch apart?

The setting stands out first. Boarding dogs have a standard outdoor area plus a 2,000 sq ft artificial turf yard, and the indoor spaces are climate-controlled. Play areas are sanitized daily.

Staffing is the other draw. Pack AMO keeps a 1:10 dog-to-staff ratio, and its staff are certified in doggie first aid and CPR. The facility lists 24/7 supervision. On the training side, the team includes a Method K9 Institute Level 4 Master Trainer.

The website describes a calm, individual approach to boarding. It says handlers work with anxious, fearful, and first-time boarding dogs, and that play and exercise are matched to what each dog needs.

What should owners know before booking?

Booking is handled online. Vaccinations are required, so have your dog's records ready before the first stay. Boarding costs $55 to $70 per night. Questions can go to the office at 319-499-9119 or packamo.office@gmail.com.
