Blogs are considered diaries in many respects. With that in mind, I took my “rescued” Heinz 57, Addy, for a much needed day of grooming. I have posted plenty of times about Doggies At the Beach, located at on Rt. 24 at the Family Dollar Plaza, off of Rt. 1 (Coastal Highway). Tel. 302-644-8200. Website? http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com.
Doggies At the Beach is the premier dog boarding facility in Rehoboth Beach. Climate control, playing time and plenty of attention for that pooch in your life. This is the only place I have left Addy. The dogs have a great time. I had to laugh because when I took these pictures, the Bassett Hound, would not get up. He just wagged his tail. Finally, he came out, hoping no other dog would take his spot.
The new grooming facility is so nice. It is not just for dogs; cats are also able to come for some grooming, as well. Bright colors!! That’s where I met Teri. She is letting the public know what’s going on at Doggies At The Beach. Nice chatting with you Teri. And, thanks for the tour.
The actual groom room is also full of pinks and purples. There is even a ramp for easy climbing for larger dogs.
On Saturday, January 19th from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m there will be a Discount Vaccination Day. Doggies At The Beach holds monthly vaccination clinics. The difference, this time, is that it will 100% benefit the Georgetown SPCA. Vaccinations are administered by a licensed Vet. It will be held at Doggies At The Beach located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway (Rt. 24 for both dogs and kitties. Please have your kitties in a crate. First come; first serve.
New training classes by their new training partner; a certified professional trainer. Puppy Preschool, Puppy Kindergarten, Good Manners 101. You need to register and pay to hold a spot. The class size is restricted to 5 only, so your intense training will be a great value. More info? Please call 302-644-8200.
The 2013 Week-End Festival of the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge, which takes place on February 1 through the 3rd will bring new Plungers into the scene. It is the first time the festival will be holding the Pooch Plunge on February 2nd from 11 a.m. until Noon, starting on the Boardwalk at Rehoboth Avenue. All for Special Olympics Delaware!!

Have a great day!

“The name “Rehoboth Beach” was chosen for the Camp Meeting Grounds. The source for the name is the Bible (Gen. 26:22): In early Hebrew, Rehoboth meant “broad places”. English explorers had given this name to nearby Rehoboth Bay in the 17th Century.” history of Rehoboth beach…downtownrehboth.com

I cannot believe that Doggies at the Beach is turning 5 years old on March 1st. I have had my dog Addy, almost 3 years. Time flies by. I have also written posts about Doggies at the Beach in the past. But, even before I had AboutMyBeaches or even Addy, I passed the word around.
Thanks to Renee who also takes her dogs to Doggies at the Beach I learned about this cage free facility. That was the first thing that interested me. I thought Addy had been in enough cages to last a lifetime. Enough of them for her.
I fell in love with Jim and his staff. They really love pets. I feel very comfortable leaving her in their care.

If you are traveling, you can follow your pet’s daily routine; they have a webcam.
There are forms to fill out and vaccinations forms to be sent; a temperament evaluation also is required. This is just to make sure your dog gets along with other dogs.
Doggies at the Beach has grooming available and a vet day with discounted prices. You can visit the above mentioned website for more information.
