Your Dog’s Home Away From Home

As much as we would like to, we can’t take our loveable dogs everywhere we go.

When your pup can’t tag along, leave them in the experienced hands of the staff at The Critter Cradle.

We offer 3 types of kennels, multiple times of outdoor play and plenty of pets and scratches for our dog day care.

We want to become your dog’s home away from home.

“This facility is awesome. Marlee, our rott/shep loves boarding here. It is well maintained, with complete array of kennels. The staff are superb. They really care about your pet.”

– Marie Satterly, Bardstown, KY

Who Loves Our Day Care?

Well every dog and human of course!

But in reality, not all dogs can handle being in a strange place for several hours.

Some dogs will get so stressed or anxious that they will refuse to eat or drink causing a health concern.

Whatever your reason for needing to put your pup in dog day care, be sure they can tolerate it. If you are unsure, it might be best to schedule a half day day care session before reserving a full day.

Our dog day care services in Bardstown, KY are a great option for the following situations:

1. You Have to Work: If you dog has separation anxiety, it might be best to not leave them alone all day, everyday. Our staff will comfort your dog through one-on-one time and plenty of cuddles.

2. Your Dog is High Energy: Enrolling your dog in day care at our Bardstown, KY facility will give them the energy release they need. Keeping a high energy dog alone at home all day could lead to damaged furniture and/or peed on rugs.

3. Home Repairs: If you are getting your roof repaired or a new HVAC system installed, this could either over excite your dog or scare them. For everyone’s safety and peace of mind, it might be best to drop your dog off at day care while the workers are doing their job.
