Our ranch has shaded areas and fenced-in play yards with natural grass, trees and plenty of room to run, wrestle and play!  We even have walking trails! Our goal is to give each canine guest the individual care and attention that they need...including raw feeding and all types of medication administration.

​

When you are looking for the best in accommodations in Northern Alabama for your dog(s), nothing less than DAK’s Dog Ranch will do!  We can pick up your dog(s) and return them to you at the end of the day or board them as many nights and days as you need.

Doggie Daycare at the ranch is a fun time for your dog(s) to run and play! All year long, your pooch can play on the canine obstacle course...and in the summer time, we have a dog pool for those dogs that enjoy escaping the heat to splash around in the water!

Time cruches happen, we understand. For your convenience, we offer pick-up and drop-off services for your dog(s). We will pickup and/or drop off your doggo(s) to or from your home.

Included

Some of our canine guests are on a special or raw food diet. We are happy to freeze or refridgerate your dog's raw food to ensure it stays fresh. If your dog is on a special diet, no problem, just bring us their food and feeding instructions when you drop them off.

Included

If your pooch is on medication, we are happy to administer their meds (pills, liquid or injections) during their stay. We ask that you provide instructions on dosages and how often to administer when you drop them off.

FAQS

Here are answers to some common questions

  • 1) What are your rates?

    Scroll right back towards the top of this page. The rates are right below the reviews section.

  • 2) Can I take an in-person tour of your facility?

    Absolutely! Just call me to schedule a mutually convenient time.

  • 3) Are all dogs welcome for boarding and daycare?

    I do not have breed restrictions for my canine guests. However, your dog does have to be friendly to me and if he/she has any personality quirks or traits, please let me know on the boarding contract. For daycare, your dog must be dog-friendly to participate in the playgroup.

  • 4) My dog is not spayed or neutered. Is that a problem?

    No it's not, however, if your female is in heat, she can not visit the ranch at that time.

  • 5) My dog is booked, what do I need to bring?

    First and foremost, you need to bring your dog. Also bring his/her collar, leash, enough food for their stay (+ 1 day), any medications (if required) along with instructions on how / when to administer, and any toys or bedding (optional).


    A signed boarding contract and proof of rabies vaccination must be provided prior to your dog(s) stay.
