Pet parents know that sinking feeling of having to leave a pet behind when going out of town. Whether it be for a vacation or work trip, pet owners need to know their animal is happy and in good hands.
Gallatin will soon have a new option for dog owners to give their furry friends a luxury vacation of their own. K9 Resorts opens its newest location at 2021 Gorden Crossing, Suite #103, later this month, making it the company’s first location in Tennessee. The luxury pet hotel offers a variety of boarding and daycare options for dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes.
“We are all pet owners ourselves, and we know the importance of treating pets like family,” said Kevin Allen, business partner and co-owner. “We believe this is a needed and wanted addition to the community for those who are focused on the care and pampering of their pets.”
The non-cage facility provides a unique experience for its canine clients, including a wide range of amenities, highly-trained and passionate staff, and cutting-edge technology.
Michael Remick, another business partner and local co-owner, said the resort makes cleanliness one of its top priorities. From the state-of-the-art air filtration system that provides fifteen air exchanges per hour, to the antimicrobial surfaces, dog parents can rest assured their pet is in a pristine environment.
The resort is also designed with playtime in mind. To be around other dogs, the staff requires each to pass an evaluation. Owners can choose group playtime for their dog or private playtime with trained staff. With either, K9 Resorts promises constant interaction for its clients.
“If we are boarding a dog, the only time they will be in their room is when they are eating or sleeping, and the rest of the time they will be in daycare,” said co-owner Anthony Bringas.
Along with cleanliness and playtime, the resort also prioritizes diet. Dogs are fed Blue Buffalo brand, a gastrointestinal food designed to be easy on the dog’s stomach. Clients can also choose to bring in their own food and any needed medications.
What dog wouldn’t love a vacation filled with all-day playtime, yummy food and a loving staff? Allen states that as the dogs become familiar with the resort, you can feel their excitement to come back each time. The resort even offers discounts for members of the military who are going on deployments and need to leave their dog behind.
While a number of co-owners and partners made this location possible in Gallatin, many of the resort’s owners live in our area and are looking forward to serving their local friends, families and neighbors. Angela McCluskey, the resort’s primary owner, says she’s thrilled the city she and her family love will be K9 Resorts’ newest home.
“We have lived here [for] twelve years, and we love it so much,” McCluskey said. “I wanted to bring it to my community, so that’s why we picked Gallatin.”
Community members can be on the lookout for an official grand opening soon that will provide tours of the facility. In the meantime, the company is offering a variety of discounts for those who book before the facility opens.
