Tucked tightly away in a nest of rolling hills, family farms, and quiet homes, you can find a place where every customers tail dances with joy. Welcome to Dog Party USA, a doggy day care and boarding facility that continues to set new standards and surpass expectation with every dog’s stay.
As you are buzzed in through the safely gated front doors you are likely to be greeted by Chadwick “Chaddie” Platt and her loyal companion, London, a beautifully groomed standard poodle. Since Chaddie was a little girl, she has always had a heart for animals, especially dogs. When asked – “what do you want to do when you grow up?” – Chaddie would tell you she dreamed of owning a “dog farm” filled with two of every kind of dog. While that exact vision might not be easily obtainable, Dog Party USA comes wonderfully close. Since opening in 2005 with her mother and Co-Founder, Priscilla Kumpe, Chaddie has created a safe, minimally caged environment where every dog is treated like another member of the family.
What makes Dog Party USA truly special is the warm, safe environment built with careful consideration and every dog’s experience in mind. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped into five packs: “itty bitty”, small, small-medium, large-medium, and large. This categorization is based not only on size but also temperament, ensuring everyone from the old and shy to the young and playful, have a place where they feel safe and understood. These groups rotate through large, green yards where they can sniff, run, roll, and lounge, while all the while always being well supervised by a trained team member of their loving staff.
But the magic doesn’t stop there.
One of the highlights for many pups is the doggy splash pad and swimming hole. This shallow, beach-entry pool was designed specifically with their four-legged client base in mind. Here, the dogs can cool off on hot days, chase each other around the turf-covered yard, or try tirelessly to catch the bubbling water fountains that spring up from the ground like mini geysers. It's not just play, it’s enrichment, stimulation, and pure joy wrapped into one experience.
The team at Dog Party USA doesn’t just show up to work solo, they also get to bring their own dogs along! This creates an environment where dogs aren’t just clients, but extended family and are treated with the same level of love and attention as the workers' own pets. Whether it’s Ron Kumpe, Chaddie’s brother and fellow Co-Owner, or one of the long-time caregivers, every team member knows the dogs by name as well as their quirks, their favorite treats, and who they love to play with.
To be sure of this, each dog has a printed out personalized profile, ensuring even the smallest details are remembered: allergies, favorite nap spots, best friends, and even what games they enjoy most. Whether your pup is staying for the day or bunking overnight, the goal is always the same: to provide a loving, low-stress, enriching and safe environment. Although each dog is sincerely remembered, some of the longer tenured pups are lucky enough to grace the walls in an ever growing mural.
So it’s no surprise that Dog Party USA has been voted Best Pet Boarding and Day Care in Northwest Arkansas for the last fifteen consecutive years. That kind of consistency doesn’t just come from their fancy facilities and wonderful care, but also from their deep-rooted love for dogs and their commitment to doing things the right way.
Dog Party USA isn’t just a business, it’s a passion project, a family dream, and a haven for hundreds of furry companions who know, deep in their wagging tails, that they’re safe, loved, and being provided the best care possible.
So, if you're looking for more than just a place to leave your dog, if you’re searching for a space where your pup can swim, play, run, and be cherished, look no further than Dog Party USA. Just be warned: your dog might never want to leave!
