The Canine Resort & Daycare

The Canine Resort & Daycare is a dog boarding and daycare facility on Fairview School Rd in San Angelo, Texas, taking small, medium, and large dogs for overnight stays and day play. Grooming is available on site, so a dog can head home clean after a longer stay.

What the facility offers

Kennel runs are climate controlled indoors and open onto covered outdoor runs, which keeps dogs protected from the weather while still giving them fresh air. The facility describes its indoor/outdoor runs as the largest in the San Angelo area. Play areas are laid with artificial turf and shaded by sun shade sails, with cooling fans running for the hot months.

• Overnight boarding for small, medium, and large dogs
• Daycare with scheduled nap times
• Pool play in the turf play areas
• Grooming
• Medication administration by staff

What stands out

The emphasis here is room to move rather than a wall of small kennels. Beds and blankets are provided at no charge, so owners can leave bedding at home. Early drop-off is offered for people who need to leave a dog before the start of a workday. Boarding dogs and daycare dogs both get access to the shaded turf yards and pools, which matters in a West Texas summer.

Practical details

Boarding runs $20 to $30 per night depending on the size of the dog. Reservations are handled online. Proof of current vaccinations is required before a stay, so owners should have records ready ahead of the first visit.

Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The facility is closed Sunday, so pickups and drop-offs need to fall inside those windows. The address is 1530 Fairview School Rd, San Angelo, TX 76904, and the phone number is (325) 651-6223. Questions can also go to thecanineresort@gmail.com.
