The Red Hydrant Lounge & Suites

The Red Hydrant Lounge & Suites is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 3180 Gateway Dr in Grand Forks, ND. It also offers grooming and training, so overnight guests can get a bath or a nail trim before heading home. Dogs stay in private suites, and there is outdoor space on site.

What they offer

Owners can book any of the following:

• Overnight stays in private suites
• Daycare with small-group play matched by play style and energy level
• Grooming, including boarding baths, nail trims, and nail grinds
• Training, with a certified dog trainer on staff
• Medication administration and cold storage for special-diet food

How play is handled

Play is organized in small groups, sorted by play style and energy level rather than lumping every dog into one room. Dogs who would rather skip the group get one-on-one time in a private yard, with fetch, toys, puzzles, and pools. Owners get photo report cards from the stay.

Extras for overnight stays

Boarding stays can include bedtime snacks, bully sticks, stuffed Kongs, and lickmats. Dogs on special diets are covered as well, since the facility keeps refrigerators and freezers for food that has to stay cold.

Booking and requirements

Reservations and account management run online through Gingr, so owners can set up an account and handle bookings from a phone. Vaccinations are required, so owners should have current records ready. The Red Hydrant is on Gateway Dr in Grand Forks, and the front desk can be reached at (701) 757-0101 or RedHydrantGf@gmail.com. For owners weighing options in Grand Forks, the combination of small-group play and a certified trainer on staff is the practical difference here.
