What Makes Canine Country Club Special

At Canine Country Club, we’re more than just a place for dogs—we’re a trusted second home where your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first. Proudly woman-owned and locally operated since 2010, we are deeply rooted in the community and committed to providing the highest standard of care.

We offer daycare, boarding, grooming, and training—making us your one-stop shop for all your dog care needs. Whether your pup needs a place to play, a comfortable overnight stay, a fresh new look, or help mastering new skills, we’ve got it covered under one roof.

Our experienced and knowledgeable team conducts thorough and ongoing temperament evaluations, ensuring every dog is placed in the appropriate environment and playgroup—especially if they are social. We take the time to truly get to know every pup, allowing us to recommend personalized options and tailor each stay to suit their unique needs and personality.

Whether it’s playtime, rest, or enrichment, we focus on making your dog’s experience safe, fun, and fulfilling—just like home.

We offer three levels of dog boarding suites, ensuring every pup feels right at home. Our facility is equipped with UV ionizers and air scrubbers that eliminate airborne pathogens for clean, fresh air at all times, and we uphold daily surface sanitization for a spotless environment. Dogs with allergies, wounds, or skin issues and more can benefit from our Holistic Healing Bath, specially formulated to soothe and support healing. Canine Country Club is the only place in the metro that offers this special nanobubble technology bathing treatment.

At Canine Country Club, we adhere strictly to all State of Iowa laws and regulations to ensure the highest standards of safety and cleanliness—offering you peace of mind every step of the way. We understand that when you entrust us with your dog, you’re entrusting us with a member of your family. That responsibility is never taken lightly.

Transparency is one of our core values. Should any concern arise during your dog’s stay—whether it’s a change in appetite, an upset stomach, or even a minor scrape—you’ll receive a prompt and honest update from our team. Your dog’s well-being is our top priority, and we believe in keeping you informed at all times.

We are equally open about our facility itself. We proudly offer full tours of our entire campus so you can see exactly where your dog will be staying and playing. We welcome the opportunity to show you the clean, secure, and enriching environment we’ve thoughtfully created for your dog’s comfort and happiness.
