The Bone and Bed

The Bone and Bed offers cage-free, in-home dog boarding and daycare in Allentown, PA, from a home at 958 Barnside Rd. There are no kennels or runs here. Dogs spend their days and nights in a home environment and are supervised around the clock.

The tone of the place is calm and structured. The stated aim is to be a dog's home away from home, with a steady routine that helps dogs settle instead of a free-for-all that leaves them wound up.

What does a typical day include?

Daycare and overnight guests follow the same basic rhythm. Walks, play, and rest are built into the schedule so dogs stay active without getting overtired.

• Structured daily walks with the pack
• Two scheduled nap times
• All-day access to a fenced-in yard, plus indoor play space
• Park time for play and socialization
• Supervised care day and night

How does it handle nervous or anxious dogs?

Not every dog does well in a busy group right away. The Bone and Bed sets aside one-on-one time for nervous and anxious dogs, which gives a shy dog room to adjust at its own pace. Because care happens in a home rather than a building lined with runs, the setting can feel less overwhelming for dogs that are new to boarding.

What should owners know before booking?

New clients must complete a meet and greet before their first stay. After that, bookings are handled online. The Bone and Bed is open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, seven days a week.

Published rates run from $30 to $40 per night. Questions can go to 484-273-2415 or info@boneandbed.com.
