What do you do with your dogs when you go out of town?
If you are like me I don't feel comfortable leaving my dogs home alone for extended stays. Sometimes getting friends, neighbors, or family to drop by and check on the dogs can be a hassle. So when you have to go out of town at the last minute... What the heck do you do?
What about booking them a room at the local dog hotel? The what?
Yep that is right... I guess you did not know that Elk Grove has brand new dog hotel! I remember when the first McDonald's was built on Elk Grove Blvd... now we have a Pet Hotel...I have seen it all!
Franklin Ranch is a brand new facility that has everything a Elk Grove dog lover would need! Not only do they offer a full service hotel with grooming, training, and luxury accommodations... they have a full service Pet Hospital lead by Dr. Tom Zehnder.
We have personally brought our dogs Ben and Jerry to see Dr. Tom Zehnder (when he was over at Bradshaw Vet) and was impressed with how much he cared about our dogs.
Speaking of my dogs!... You did not think I would pas up the opportunity to share pictures did you? Meet Ben and Jerry!
We got Ben and Jerry at the Stockton SPCA about a year ago after we lost our dog Benji. We were not planning on two dogs, but once we say them... we knew they were ours! OK... OK back to the Franklin Ranch!
Franklin Ranch Pet Hotel offer 3 types of accommodations:
Lofts
Small: $30/night | Large: $35/night
Lofts are available in two sizes, small is 18 square feet and large is 24 square feet. The lofts feature an elevated fiberglass floor, privacy walls, a platform bedding area, secure latching, and secured food dishes.
Window Suites
Small: $35/night | Large: $40/night
Window suites are available in two sizes, the small suite is 15 square feet and the large suite is 20 square feet. They have an elevated fiberglass floor, privacy walls, a platform bedding area, secure latching, and secured food dishes. These suites feature a glass door allowing for plenty of natural light and a wonderful view of the grounds, bringing the outdoors in.
Luxury Suite
$55/night
Each luxury suites offers individual rooms for added privacy and relaxation. Ken Bailey's whimsical artwork has been added to each suite to create a touch of home. Guests enjoy a Kuranda® bed for maximum comfort and sanitation. As an added level of ease, we provide orthopedic cushions with a classic ottoman-style slipcover made of a soft suede fabric. For entertainment, all suites offer flat screen televisions, soothing music, and two indoor/outdoor playtimes. Perhaps our most important feature, the 24-hour pet cam service, allows you to keep your pet just a few clicks away regardless of the distance.
Now I can tell you Ben and Jerry stay in the loft rooms and are just fine! But, if you really want to have the piece of mind your dogs are OK I guess the pet cam in the Luxury Suite could ease your mind! To be honest... that is way over the top for me!
All dogs get walked a couple times a day and they even have a play ground. Their is full time staff available and the facility is immaculate!
Here is a picture of Ben and Jerry checking out the grounds before their recent stay!
