More pet resorts holding “Overnight Slumber Parties” for dogs
Denver,
CO ( SharewellNewswire.com ) September 19,2012 – Villa La Paws, a
nationally franchising pet resort featuring cage-free dog daycare,
boarding and grooming, is responding to an increasing demand for a new
breed of overnight boarding that eliminates traditional cages and
kennels. Instead, dogs are invited to an “Overnight Slumber Party”
where they sleep in a natural, home-like environment on comfy cots with
warm blankets, get plenty of love and human interaction (even during
the night) and have non-stop play with other dogs before bedtime and
when they wake up.
It’s
a new concept that’s changing the way dog owners are boarding their
pets. “People travel so much these days and they don’t like the idea
of locking their dog in a cage at night,” says ‘Top Dog’ Eileen
Proctor, owner of Villa La Paws-Castle Rock and nationally known pet
lifestyle expert. “Having your dogs sleep in a large, open room, with
comfortable cots and beds but without cages or kennel runs, reduces
stress for the dog AND the owner. It’s like a home away from home.”
The
idea of cage-free boarding is becoming more popular nationwide as more
pet owners make dogs true members of their family. Villa La Paws
originated this revolutionary service in its Phoenix, AZ resorts more
than five years ago, and is now bringing the idea to Colorado, with its
first out-of-state franchise. The company plans to expand to more than
200 resorts .within the next 10 years
The
cage-free overnight boarding includes 24/7 supervision. There is
someone on staff round-the-clock to monitor, play with and comfort the
dogs. “It makes for a very safe and stress-free environment that both
dogs and their owners feel good about,” says Proctor. The idea is to
eliminate common problems that can happen when boarding your pet
overnight, such as separation anxiety and stress. Dogs are pack
animals and feel safer and more at ease when they’re among other dogs.
When they’re confined to a cage and forced to sleep, it can often
result in stress, depression or even a refusal to eat.
At
Villa La Paws, cage-free boarding is limited to social dogs that have
been spayed or neutered and are up to date on all vaccinations.
Customers can call to schedule a free temperament evaluation to see if
their dog is a good match for the overnight slumber party. For more
