Bowsers By The Bay

Bowsers is Northern Michigan's premiere cage-free fitness and social rehabilitation center for dogs. We're cage free - and we're not just sayin' that! It's where dogs go to get away from it all! We have taken the ’doggy day care’ and boarding concepts and given them a twist. Your dog’s mental and physical fitness is our main focus. During their time with us we’ll gently shape their social skills with other dogs and reinforce (or teach) basic obedience. All dogs are expected to respect the boundaries of others within the pack. We provide structured, safe play activities geared toward keeping them physically and mentally fit - in short, we work with the 'whole' dog. Whether they stay for a few hours or a few weeks, they'll have a treadmill, agility equipment, trained staff, and over 4500 square feet of play yards in which they’ll eat, get daily mental and physical work outs, play, and sleep. Would your dog prefer to be a couch potato? No problem! Our Zen Den…a private, cozy room…is ideal for the dog who wants to lay back and watch from a distance. With a low staff-to-dog ratio, we promise to have plenty of one-on-one time with your dog. Your dog's Personal Trainer will ensure that there is a healthy balance of structured training-based activities and social free-time with dogs of their size and temperaments. For dogs who struggle to be social with some dogs, but not others, we offer a Transition Training program. We don't reject dogs with issues - we help them find their nitch so they, too, can be happy and cage-free. Last but not least, we also provide full-service grooming in our state-of-the-art grooming salon fondly known as 'Dirty Dawgs'. Our focus is to eliminate the stress that can make your dog's grooming experience an uncomfortable one. We work on just one dog at a time - no overly loud equipment noise, no barking dogs, no stressed-out groomers! More importantly - no all day stays, and dogs can roam our salon freely when not being worked on. With a professional, personable staff, we're sure it will be a one-of-a-kind grooming experience for you and your pets! Stop on by and see what everyone's talking about! Our regular Fitness Center hours are Monday-Friday, 7a.m- 6pm (Saturdays by request); Closed Sundays, and Boarding is 7 days/ week. Visit Website
