Great question! Their spaces are very spacious (4 x 9 feet) and are made of masonry block walls with glass block at the top to maximize lighting along with Individual TVs in them.
Our gates are vinyl-coated micromesh and that is great because it allows for max airflow and easy interaction by sound and touches even with the gates closed. Pups LOVE it! Walls are 6 feet high and have a lifetime epoxy coating.
The floors were prepared and coated with NON-Slip epoxy also! ALL surfaces are NONporous and that means max and easy to clean.
Each suite is independent of the others so no worry of cross-contamination like other setups. Each and every suite has its own floor drain.
With each suite independent, we hose, we spray foam sanitizer (Pet safe and best in the industry) over 100% top to bottom of each suite, we scrub, we hose to rinse and then we squeegee dry! Let’s see others try that…
Some have “Kennel” systems that are sometimes NOT tight to the floor (cross-contamination to say the least) and in most cases, no way to give a thorough cleaning (like above).
Imagine, no floor drains and using spray bottles and rags… what if a dog has a big upset belly mess or can’t hold their bladder????? Also, some are even set up with glass doors, opposite the above…
Another great question! We are a leash-free facility because we have space and great design but more importantly. The Dogs LOVE it! Our suite layout along with our perfectly situated relief yards allows us to let our guests out one at a time and direct them exactly where we want them to go.
They can RUN or WALK to the relief yard, either way, they are not pulling, yanking, or tugging and potentially hurting themselves and even getting more anxious and frustrated.
