In 2009 I adopted Miss Addy. I call her my princess, best in show, the best and most beautiful dog in the world…all kinds of silly names. Miss Addy is a mutt and a “rescue”. I think she was about a little over a year when I adopted her. Here is her photo. She is a little Diva now. She learned quickly.
Word of mouth is everything. So, when my friend, Renee told me about Doggies at The Beach, I thought it would be the perfect place to leave Miss Addy when I was traveling for a day or overnight. It would give me a piece of mind. Not everyone can or want to travel with their pooches, so be sure when I tell you that they will be well taken care of at Doggies at The Beach.
Doggies at The Beach is located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway (Rt. 24) in Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-644-8200 Website? http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com. Doggies at The Beach is open 7 days a week. You can leave your dog for overnight care, day care, and grooming. Throughout the year they hold training classes and they also hold vaccination days at a discount rate.
At times, when I come in the customers make me laugh. Here are some of the photos.
There are no cages here. What they do have are 6 separate play areas that are small, medium and large. 24-human supervision is one of the services that they are so proud of. They play with the dogs, take them out for walks and give them a treat here or there, as well.
With 3,500 square feet they have plenty of space for all their customers to have a good time. They will be comfortable since the location is climate controlled and with purified air. There are 5 web cams….just in case you want to follow your pooches daily activities. Names like Little Dippers, Moon Doggies, Big Kahunas are the names they give to the play areas which are assigned according to size. They even have a Puppy Palace, just in case your pooch demands a suite. The last day of your adorable pet stay, they will give him or her a bath…a scarf and they will be ready to go.
Miss Addy just spent a week at Doggies at The Beach, while I was in Charleston. My cousin was so jealous because where she lives she does not have this type of care for her dog. So, when I got a few texts from Doggies at The Beach sending me photos of Miss Addy….she was like….what?
Before you start leaving your pet at Doggies at The Beach there are procedures to follow. A temperament evaluation…no agressive dogs, please. Shots and any other pertinent info. Best if you call them at 302- 644-8200.

On another note…Jim and his staff at Doggies at The Beach are so involved in the community, here at the Delaware Beaches. They help raise funds for charitable organizations and I think the world of them.
If you think your dog is just not having fun, think again, because he or she might might be having more fun!! Talk to you later.
