BlueHerons Posted April 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Need a really safe, secure, loving caring place to board my small dog in Miami. Any suggestions out there? Thanks, Kaye I don't know anywhere in South Florida but wouldn't it be better to board your animal in your hometown where chances are you know the people? Or at least get first hand experience from people you know? Miami is a shady place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywood Posted April 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Need a really safe, secure, loving caring place to board my small dog in Miami. Any suggestions out there? Thanks, Kaye Shall we play the "one of these words does not belong" game :rolleyes: Maybe someone will come on with a suggestion of a veterinarian's office that also boards non-patient pets. Even then you need to vet (pardon the pun) the heck out of them: license current, complaint history, citations against owner/operator. There are unsanitary, unlicensed groomer/boarder businesses all over south Florida. You will probably do no worse picking a random name offering pet sitting services on Craig's List. But have you asked your hometown vet? They may be affiliated with a national organization that has a legit member's office they can refer you to.

Thanks, Kaye Have you asked your own vet and/or boarding kennel if they have any recommendations? Perhaps they know of one or belong to an association/trade group that can give you a listing.

fireofficer5 Posted April 26, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) If your driving to south Fl. via. I95 or the Florida turnpike, I recomend the Hollywood Animal Hospital. 1/2 block east of I95 on Hollywood Blvd. So. Fla. is not as bad as some of the wriers make it out to be. Must have a bad taco. The Hollywood Animal hospital is where I bring bring my Yorkie, plus the Hollywood K9's go for their visits too. If your flying into MIA, find out where the Miami PD brings their K9's.

Perhaps they know of one or belong to an association/trade group that can give you a listing. Have you tried Angie's List? I live north of Fort Lauderdale and found my vet/boarding kennel that way (Seiler Animal Hospital). They are wonderful but it is quite a bit north of Miami and I don't know their policy for boarding an animal that is not an existing patient.

I went to Angie's List for you and found the following "A" rated (with at least 10 reviews) vet/boarding kennel listings in Miami. Maybe you could start with them... Coconut Grove Animal Clinic http://www.coconutgroveanicmalclinic.com, 3200 Grand Ave, Miami 33133 Knowles Animal Clinic http://www.knowlesanimalclinics.com, 1000 NW 27th Ave, Miami 33125 South Beach Animal Hospital http://www.southbeachanimal.com, 1874 West Ave, Miami Beach 33139 Waggle Brothers Pet Resort http://www.wagglebrospetresort.com, 10801 Biscayne Blvd, Miami 33161 Hope this helps!

brunello22 Posted April 28, 2015 #13 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Rather than boarding your dog in a kennel, you can look into another option such as Dog Vacay or Rover.com. Both of these sites offer many options for pet-sitters that will care for your pet in their own home, in a cage-free environment. You can research sitters by location, read their profiles, and reviews. There are many questions you will need to ask to ensure you are comfortable leaving your dog in their care. http://dogvacay.com/ https://www.rover.com/ I take my dog to Furry Paws in Fort Lauderdale for doggie day care. They also offer overnight boarding. The staff there is amazing, very attentive, and while some days my dog is there almost 12 hours while I am at work, I know she is in great hands. They are staffed 7 days a week. If your dog is well socialized, he/she will love it. They have separate indoor and outdoor play areas for small and larger dogs, swimming pool, toys, exercise areas, etc. Wonderful place and better than leaving your dog in a vet's kennel. http://www.furrypawsftl.com/ Edited April 28, 2015 by brunello22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted April 29, 2015 #15 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ok. Enlighten me. Fort Lauderdale? Orlando? We've had fantastic luck with Barkers on 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale. They even have a pool for the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
