We are a small, privately run facility focusing on quality, not quantity of pets served. Family Pet Lodge was started by a former no-kill shelter director who wanted a better solution for pets. Kennels are stressful, noisy, confined, and crowded. We want your pet to have a peaceful time when here. All animals have their own separate room. Cats ALWAYS have a large piece of carpeted cat furniture, all pets have a pet bed, and there’s a window in each room. Rooms are standard size, at least 8x10.

We are located in a large house with over 7 acres. Our goal is to have a close relationship with each animal we care for. It’s more like a week at grandma’s than being sent to a kennel. We only allow a limited number of pets which cuts down on noise and in turn limits the stress level of the animals. It also ensures each animal has plenty of space to play, run, and climb, and that we have time for each of them!

Our hours of operation don't work for all clients, so we will try to accomodate other drop-off and pick-up times as needed.

We are committed to the health and well-being of your pet, whether their stay is just for a night or over a month. We use pet safe cleaning chemicals whenever possible, because studies show cancer rates in pets increase with exposure to chemicals. When chemicals or bleach must be used for sanitary purposes, each surface is cleaned again with a pet safe cleaner.

Hills (makers of science diet) sells hundreds of food varieties and flavors and we can order most of them for you at a 10% savings.
