The Pet Lodge’s newest location opened in Saratoga Springs on June 17 at 3320 Route 9, joining locations in Latham, Glennville and Clifton Park.
“We’ve had, over the years, a lot of requests to open up here,” Matt Sames, the Lodges’ owner, said. “The demographics work, it’s a great community.”
Sames said that he had been trying to open up a location in Saratoga for over three years and that the reason that it took so long was due to a “very thorough” approval process.
“We just opened,” he said. “People have been excited, we’ve been giving a lot of tours.”
Jake, Shift Supervisor at the Lodge, said that the most dogs that had been in daycare at once thus far was around 16.
The new Lodge has a doggy daycare, boarding and grooming and obedience facilities. Dogs left in daycare are free to roam outside in the 3,500 square foot fenced backyard area with turf as desired, while dogs in boarding are taken out three to four times per day.
Sames said that they scoop and disinfect the yards to keep them as clean as possible, and that the backyard’s turf was an experiment to see if it was cleaner than the pea stone used at previous locations, and that if it was not that they would rip up the turf and replace it.
The building also has an exhaust fan on either side, to keep air fresh and circulating, and keep the dogs healthier.
“Each dog has a kennel card, which gives us instructions for medication, feeding instructions, all that good stuff,” Sames said.“If they need nature walks, if they’re going to be in doggy daycare or if they’re going to need baths, it's all right here."
"The community's been amazing since we've been here," Jake added. "Everybody's been super energetic and happy, like 'oh, we're so happy that we have a location that's closer to home,' and they love the facility."
