Two Weeks In at Koehler Pet Collective – What Have We Been Up To? 🐾
It’s hard to believe it’s only been two weeks since we took over the hotel… so we thought we’d share a little behind-the-scenes update on what we’ve been doing (besides chugging caffeinated beverages and learning new ways to function on very little sleep 😅).
✨ Lobby glow-up complete!
We revamped the entire lobby with comfy new seating — blankets included — because sometimes after-hours snuggles with our hotel guests just… happen. 🐶💛
🧼 Deep-clean mode: ON.
Every kennel has been scrubbed and sanitized with hospital-grade disinfectant. Clean, fresh, and safe is our non-negotia
Tech upgrades in progress!
We’ve been busy behind the scenes working on our website and software so online booking is here! (this is a BIG one 🎉). We also turned on our messaging system, so you’ll now receive appointment reminders and updates — because who doesn’t love fewer “oops I forgot” moments?
🧸 Daycare toy upgrade = huge success.
We added new toys for our daycare crew and WOW… the snuffle mats, stuffed ducks, and new balls were an instant hit.
Pro tip: Do NOT buy tennis balls. They lasted approximately 20 minutes with this crew. 😂
🐱 Cat boarding is officially a thing!
Our kitty boarding area got a deep clean and we welcomed our very first purr-fect feline guest. Yes, we melted.
🚪 Lessons learned (the hard way):
You do NOT open the daycare door that leads to the lobby.
“Who Let the Dogs Out” is now our unofficial theme song. 🎶🐕
👋 Meet the new faces!
We hired two new part-time pet care crew members who are helping us roll out our new valet service.
That’s right — text us your ETA and you don’t even have to leave your car. We’ve got you covered. 🚗🐾
🔥 And because it’s the little things…
We got a new dryer.
WOO. HOO. 🙌
👀 Coming up next…
• Floor updates for our new daycare area
• Installation of six new kennels
• A coffee bar for the humans ☕ (yes please)
Stop in, grab a cup, say hello, and check out the changes!
And if anyone wants to watch the place while we take a nap… please let us know.
Until next time, ✌️
