Doggie Dude Ranch

Our dogs add a great deal of joy to our lives, but there may be places we need or want to go where it is difficult to bring our dogs along.

When this happens, it is time to decide how our furry friends will spend their time while we are away.

Some have friends or neighbors check in on their dogs for feeding and bathroom breaks, but staying at home without their owners can make a lot of dogs nervous, and can potentially lead to destructive behavior.

Another option is pet boarding at Doggie Dude Ranch in Ames, IA.

Doggie Dude Ranch in Ames, IA is different than many other boarding services.

Some boarders keep dogs in small kennels and let them out for limited amounts of time for feeding and bathroom breaks.

Often, staff at these boarding facilities are not equipped to deal with potential medical issues that can arise either due to a dog's general state of health or dogs’ reactions to being away from their owners.

At Doggie Dude Ranch, your dog will have access to 24/7 veterinarian care, because we are also breeders and veterinarians.

The dogs that board with us have plenty of space to move around in their fenced kennels. They will be free to "talk" to other dogs, yet will stay protected against any potential altercations.
