Pawz Inn

Pawz Inn is a family-owned kennel offering dog boarding and daycare in Madison Heights, Michigan. Dogs stay cage-free, spending the day in group play instead of individual runs, and cats are boarded overnight as well. The approach is hands-on and homelike rather than institutional.

Services and amenities

• Cage-free daycare with indoor and outdoor play areas
• Overnight boarding with individual, secure sleeping areas
• Pet spa work: baths, nail trims, dremel, teeth brushing, ear cleaning
• Daily walks and playtime included with a stay
• Medication administration for dogs that need it

What stands out

Outside, there is more than 2,500 square feet of fenced play space, plus pools for hot afternoons and toys and jungle gyms for the rest of the year. Indoor play space means bad weather does not cut a day short. Staff are certified by the American Red Cross in Pet First Aid and CPR, a useful credential anywhere dogs play in a group.

Owners who come often can buy discounted packages in blocks of 10, 20, 30, or unlimited visits. Pawz Inn also puts on customer appreciation events for its regulars, which fits the small, familiar feel the place aims for.

Practical details

Overnight boarding runs $55 to $95 per night, based on rates published on the kennel's own website. Hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Booking is handled by phone at (248) 583-9663 rather than through an online form. The facility is at 275 W Girard, Madison Heights, MI 48071, and it posts updates on Facebook and Instagram.
