The Barking Birch

The Barking Birch Offering personalized lodging, daycare, training and grooming for your furry family member to rest and relax. Frequent daycare programs available.

Welcome to The Barking Birch Pet Lodge: a comfortable, safe, and fun environment to make your pet’s “home away from home” a fun and stress-free experience. Located two blocks off Hwy 23, our 14 acres of secluded, whispering birch trees, provide easy, convenient access. LODGING
From the time they travel down the birch tree-lined driveway, your dog becomes part of our family. From dawn to dusk, affe

ction, love, belly rubs, and an occasional treat will spoil them rotten. Overnight guests partake in doggy daycare including up to 7 hours of playtime and have a scheduled “down time” from 1-3 p.m. Dogs are placed into the appropriate play groups to meet their size, age, and temperament. For safety, we ensure all senior dogs play and socialize with staff one-on-one. DAYCARE
While at work, you can relax knowing your pet is enjoying the day with us at The Barking Birch Pet Lodge. Daycare for your pet often prevents destructive behavior caused by boredom or separation anxiety. Those participating in daycare enjoy socializing with other dogs in a small, safe, controlled group. Each pet receives plenty of attention, loving care and an occasional treat. Playgroups are monitored and each dog is evaluated and placed in his/her appropriate group. For safety, elderly pets enjoy one-on-one time with staff. When dogs are simply to tired to go any more, its time for a nap. Those getting to the couch first, find themselves relaxing in the warmth of the sun. And, on occasion, you may just find the owner relaxing with them. What to expect at daycare
