MILL HALL — Voted “Best Pet Boarding” five years in a row now, Sweet Dreams Pet Resort will be celebrating its sixth anniversary this June! Their slogan is “We treat your dog like family,” and if their four-legged clients could speak, they would certainly agree!

Sweet Dreams is your pet’s perfect home away from home. Located in Mill Hall, the facility features 12,000 square feet of outdoor play space, complete with tents for shade, splash pools in the summer and always an abundance of toys! The spacious suites for its boarders are made with vinyl and tile, a much cozier feel than the standard chain link fencing found in many kennels. They are climate-controlled and have raised beds for your pet’s ultimate comfort.

The pet resort also offers Doggy Day Care for people who want to drop their pets off during the day while they’re at work or running errands. It’s a great way for dogs, especially active ones and puppies, to socialize and burn off their energy. Stop by the facility any afternoon and you’ll see dogs having a great time… running, playing, barking and exploring all the interesting scents the yard has to offer — so much better than staying home alone waiting for their owner to return. Many clients comment on how much their pet’s behavior has improved since attending Doggy Day Care at Sweet Dreams.

A new service being offered this year is Dog Training. Good training is the key to your dog gaining confidence and reaching his or her best potential. Sweet Dreams’ dog training team uses positive, proven techniques to help dogs of all breeds and ages discover better obedience and manners. Each dog’s training program is fully customized and designed for lasting success.

Their award-winning dog grooming salon features everything from soothing baths to stylish haircuts, toe-nail clipping, flea treatments and more. Experienced groomers provide customized care so your dog can look and feel their best.
