Pleasant Paws Pet Center

Pleasant Paws Pet Center handles dog boarding and daycare in Newtown, CT, from a building at 94 S Main St that also houses a veterinary practice. Overnight guests are not limited to dogs. The center also boards cats, birds, reptiles, and pocket pets.

Services

• Luxury overnight dog boarding and open-play daycare
• Kitty Condos and a spacious cat playroom, separate from the dog area
• Grooming and dog training
• On-site veterinary care, laboratory, and radiology suite
• Physical rehabilitation with an underwater treadmill, laser therapy, and massage

Daycare is open play, with dogs free to run and play together.

What sets it apart

Boarding and medical care share one roof here. The veterinary team, the on-site laboratory, and the radiology suite sit in the same building as the boarding areas. That combination is unusual for a boarding kennel. Staff give medication and manage special diets, which matters for senior dogs or any dog on a prescription food. The Pawsh Pet Store on site stocks food, treats, toys, and supplies.

Practical details

Published boarding rates run $18 to $34 per night. Reservations are made online, and vaccinations are required before a stay or a daycare day. The center is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday, with Sunday closed. Anyone planning a weekend return should build around that schedule.
