Paws on the Pass

Paws on the Pass is a full-service pet center in Pass Christian, Mississippi, offering dog boarding, daycare, and grooming at 400 Clarence Avenue. Dogs and cats both stay overnight, and staff are on site 24 hours, so boarders are not left alone after the front door closes for the night.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats, with 24-hour staff supervision
• Doggy daycare with indoor play space and outdoor play time
• Grooming, plus a pet shuttle that handles pickup and drop-off
• On-site retail store for pet food and supplies
• Medication administration and feeding on each pet's own diet, with refrigeration available

What stands out

The outdoor play area is turfed and enclosed by an 8-foot fence, with a doggy tunnel and water play for warm Gulf Coast afternoons. Indoor play areas keep the day going when the weather does not cooperate. Cots come standard for overnight guests, and owners are welcome to send a familiar blanket or a few toys from home. Dogs who eat a specific food keep eating it here, and the staff can refrigerate what needs it. A 15% military discount is available.

The facility is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Saturday, and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday.
