TLC Pet Lodge Adds Pet Activities to Lodging Services at Request of Pet Owners
Pet Lodging Facility in Mentor Offers Dog Owners Option of Additional Play Time
MENTOR, OHIO (June 29, 2010) – TLC Pet Lodge, a pet lodging and grooming facility located in Mentor, has added more pet activities for the dogs to enjoy during their stay at the facility. Pet owners who want their dogs or cats to have more one on one attention or special upgrades make the selection when they are reserving their pet’s accommodations at the pet lodge.
“Although we have offered activities for the dogs for the past three years, we’ve recently expanded our activities programs after comparing the results with other industry leaders and from a test during the holiday season this past year,” explained Marj Green-Beyer, Manager of TLC Pet Lodge. “Pet owners who had their pet involved in our pet appropriate activities during their visit found that their pets stayed happier and healthier. The owners reported back to TLC Pet Lodge how much more easily their dog adjusted to their visit.”
One of the ways that TLC Pet Lodge sets its services apart from traditional boarding kennels is by allowing owners to incorporate activities in to their pets lodging stay. They recognize that activity is one of the keys to offering an environment that encourages happy, healthy pets. TLC Pet Lodge customers consider their pets as part of the family and want their dog to have a fun experience, filled with pet appropriate activities so they feel like they had a special vacation too.
There are several activity package programs or an owner can totally customize their pets stay. The design of each package program depends upon how much attention or activity the dog normally gets at home and how much excitement the owner wants the dog to have during their stay.
“One of our pet owners favorite choices, called Spoiled Rotten, includes multiple one-on-one playtimes throughout the day, a luxury suite upgrade, special tender loving care at bedtime and extra potty times,” said Green-Beyer. “Some of our customers have compared it to going to Grandma’s house with lots of interaction between the pets and humans.”
The staff at TLC Pet Lodge treats the dogs like they are a part of the lodge’s family. They are only half joking when they say that “TLC means Treated Like Children.” Because they want owners to have confidence in the level of care, they have established guidelines to allow for only dog activities that are one on one with human interaction, not a group. Group activities are only offered among dogs that are part of an existing “dog family.”
