📸🐾 Daycare Fun at The Crate Escape! 🐾📸

Today our pups had a blast posing for Snapchat photos while practicing their sit & stay skills 🐶✨ (smiles, wiggles, and a few goofy faces included!). Training meets fun = the best kind of school day. 🐾🍎

After their “photo session,” everyone enjoyed playtime both inside and outside, making sure tails wagged nonstop. 🌞🏠

At The Crate Escape, our enrichment activities aren’t just about cute pictures (though we love those too!) — they also help build manners, focus, and confidence in everyday life. 💕

📚🍎🐾 Bark to School Grooming Day at The Crate Escape! 🐾🍎📚

Our students were looking paw-sitively polished for their first day back! ✂️✨ Whether it’s the “golden” honor roll, the doodle club, or recess zoomies, these pups passed their glow-up exams with flying colors:

🐾 Finnegan the Golden Retriever – Class president vibes with that shiny coat!
🐾 Reese the Sheltie – Report card reads: A+ in fluff management.
🐾 Maisie the Doodle – Teacher’s pet with her perfect curls.
🐾 Ocean the Pitbull – Star athlete, ready for gym class!
🐾 Sprinkles the Mixed Breed – Brought the sparkle to picture day.
🐾 Lady the Golden Retriever – Straight-A student in elegance.
🐾 Brie the Terrier – Top of the class in sass and style!

Every pup got their back-to-school glow, so they’re ready for recess, naptime, and all the head pats in between. 🐶💈

👔🐾 National Bow Tie Day (…sort of 😅) 🐾👔

Today we celebrated National Bow Tie Day—but with a twist! Instead of bow ties, our stylish daycare crew sported regular ties like the true professionals they are. From business casual to CEO of Treats, these pups (and even our cats!) looked ready for the boardroom. 🐶🐱✨

Enrichment activities like dress-up might look silly, but they’re a great way to:
✅ Build tolerance for handling (perfect practice for grooming & vet visits)
✅ Boost confidence with new experiences
✅ Create fun, positive memories for both dogs and cats

Every participant strutted their stuff, proving that whether it’s a bow tie, a tie-tie, or even no tie at all, confidence is the best accessory. 😉

📞 Want your pet to join in on the fun AND come home looking fabulous? Call or text us at 814-651-6793 to book daycare or grooming!

📚✂️ Back to School Picture Day at The Crate Escape! ✂️📚

It’s that time of year—fresh trims, polished looks, and everyone ready to shine for their “yearbook photo.” Today’s lineup of perfectly groomed pups looked like they were headed straight to the honor roll:

🐾 Ziggy the Schnauzer – rocking the “most likely to be class president” look.
🐾 Bowie the Schnauzer – definitely voted “best hair.”
🐾 Mika the Springer Spaniel – glowing with “most photogenic” vibes.
🐾 Rosie the Golden Retriever – always the “teacher’s pet.” 🍎
🐾 Louie the Beagle – our “class clown” with the best smile.
🐾 Dixie the Schnauzer – neat and tidy, “best dressed.”
🐾 Tucker the Schnauzer – “most likely to steal your lunch.” 🥪

Fresh cuts, wagging tails, and A+ style—our grooming crew is ready to start the school year off right!

📞 Call or text 814-651-6793 to get your pup on the grooming schedule—because every dog deserves their own picture-day glow-up!

🐾✂️ Roman made history today at The Crate Escape! 🐾✂️
He was our 970th walk-in nail trim of the year! 🎉

Not many people know this… but yes, we actually keep track. Why? Because every pawprint matters, and regular nail trims keep dogs healthy, comfortable, and safe (good traction = fewer slips, less strain on joints).

✨ And guess what? We’re closing in on 1,000 nail trims for 2025! ✨
To celebrate this milestone, we’re planning a special giveaway when we hit 1,000. The lucky “Golden Paw” winner will score a prize fit for a VIP (Very Important Pup) 🐶💅.

📞 Walk in for your dog’s next trim Monday–Friday, 6:30a–5p.
(Just $10 for dogs & $7 for cats!)

❓Tell us in the comments: How does your dog let you know it’s nail trim time—zoomies, tap-dancing on the floor, or giving you “the look”? 🐾😂
