Dear friends,

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the loss of our dear friend, Hilary. Hilary spent the last four years with both us and you, bringing so much energy and love to every single morning and night that she was here.

She loved all of you, and your pups, more than words can say. We are so heartbroken to deliver this news, but hope to keep honoring her memory by loving you all just as much as she did.

Thank you Hilary, for everything. We will forever feel your absence, and never be the same.

The summer staycation rush is here. If your dog needs a safe place to stay while you're away, now's the time to lock in those dates. They'll spend their days playing, get plenty of love and attention from our experienced team, and have a comfy place to relax when it's time to rest. They’ll enjoy their vacation, and you’ll enjoy yours.

We appreciate everyone sticking through this chaos with us, and are so grateful for our team and everyone at Dogaholics and Stay Dog Hotel. for helping us & our doggies out in a time of need. We hope to see you and your pups very soon!!!! 🐶❤️

These babes sure are grateful for the sunshine! Did you know you can add on an outdoor playtime to any daycare or boarding stay? For a small addition charge, a handler will take your floofer out and play with them one on one or they can bring out one of their besties from “class”. Each playtime is 20 mins and done sometime throughout your pups day. Ask one of our amazing desk workers to get your pup added onto our list for their next reservation today!

Due to the events of the F3 tornado that hit the Valley View & Sanger, TX area, the Animal Hospital on Milam Road's wonderful staff has gone out into the community & rescued many fur babies and brought them back into the clinic for shelter and care.

There are many pups that they have under their care as well as that have needed treatment. One of their lovely guests is named Willow & was found on the side of the road by a wonderful human & she has a broken leg & pelvis that needs an important extensive surgery! Funds will go towards Willow's surgery, vaccinations, medications, & other treated injuries! They also have some pups that have found their owners but will be staying at the clinic at no cost due to their homes being destroyed or them being hospitalized themselves that funds will go towards.

We would love your help in raising money! These sweet babies have been through so much trauma already & we appreciate absolutely everything that this community has already done to help them!
