Why Choose Canine to Five for Overnight Dog Boarding?

Going out of town and need a place for your pup to stay? Canine To Five offers dog boarding in Detroit, Ferndale, and Commerce MI. Whether you’re heading out for the weekend, or planning a holiday getaway, our dog boarding facilities are so much more fun than a traditional dog kennel!

If you know when you’ll be leaving, we recommend booking your reservations a month in advance to ensure your pup will have a clean, safe, and fun place to stay. Canine To Five does not charge any additional fees to board over a holiday, but we do require a 50% deposit to hold your reservation during Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Reservations canceled with less than 48 hours notice will not be eligible to have their deposit refunded. Two of our core beliefs at Canine To Five are that we care and we are flexible, so if you do have a last minute boarding emergency, give us a call and we will do our best to accommodate your needs!

High Standard of Care

We have a very high level of monitoring throughout your dog’s stay. Each meal is tracked as appetite is sometimes a challenge for pups being away from home. If your dog takes medication and is cleared by your veterinarian to stay in a dog boarding facility, our trained team will happily administer your pup’s medication is administered at no additional cost, and will track each administration daily. If your dog has a special diet, let us know and we can accommodate any reasonable request. Let us know how we can prepare food the same way you do at home.

Activities, Games, and Play

Our Pawsitive Enrichment Boarding guests get ample rest in their enclosures and will be taken outside three times a day as a standard, plus given three enrichment sessions during each day! Additional one on one play times can be added to their stay which includes fetch, playing with the flirt pole, or just spending extra time with cuddling with their human buddy.

Dogs that have passed their daycare evaluation are able to be part of our Group Play Boarding. During the day they get to play, socialize, and make new friends in our indoor and outdoor play yards! Dogs are separated into groups based on their age, size, personality, and play style. This full day of play ensures a restful night sleep in a private enclosure.
