Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a "small dog" at Ann Arbor boarding facilities?

Most Ann Arbor facilities define small dogs as under 25–30 pounds, though exact cutoffs vary. Dogs are typically grouped by size and temperament for safe play.

Why do small dogs need a separate play area?

Small dogs can be intimidated or accidentally injured during play with larger breeds. Dedicated areas in Ann Arbor facilities let small dogs socialize safely with similarly-sized dogs.

Can my small dog still interact with larger dogs?

Some Ann Arbor facilities allow supervised mixed-size play for dogs that enjoy it. Staff will assess your dog's comfort level during the temperament evaluation.
