Paws and Claws

Paws and Claws is a family-owned kennel at 1161 Worthington Road in Owensboro, Kentucky, offering dog boarding along with cat boarding and grooming. It has a country setting, and the boarding routine is built around time outside in fenced, grassy play yards. Rates run from $20 to $35 per night, and stays are booked by phone.

What does a boarding stay include?

Dogs stay in heated and air-conditioned kennels, each with fresh water and a comfy mat. Every boarding stay includes four trips a day to the play yards, so dogs get regular chances to run and stretch out. For dogs used to cooler weather, the kennel also has outdoor kennels.

• Heated and air-conditioned indoor kennels
• Multiple grassy, fenced play yards
• Four play-yard trips daily with boarding
• Special diets accommodated
• Pickup and drop-off service

Which pets can stay?

The facility accepts small, medium, and large dogs. Large dogs, small dogs, and cats each have their own separate boarding kennels, which helps keep a nervous little dog away from bigger neighbors. With a listed capacity of 29, it is a smaller operation than many city boarding centers.

Is grooming available too?

Yes. Paws and Claws grooms both dogs and cats, so a groom and a boarding stay can happen at the same place. The owners describe their approach as personal and hands-on. They say they treat the pets in their care like family rather than numbers.

How do owners book?

Current vaccinations are required for boarding, so it helps to have records ready before calling. Reservations are made by phone at 270-925-4558. The kennel can also be reached by email at paws.claws.llc@gmail.com, and it posts updates on Facebook and Instagram.
