I have noticed the traffic on Coastal Highway, up and down the Delaware Beaches, might have slowed down a bit during the week…but, on week-ends, it is just as hectic as summer.  Getting out of town for the beaches for some fun and relaxation!  It is a great time to experience Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, and Fenwick Island.  These coastal towns have managed to capture the visitors’ attention.  Restaurants are open, tons of shops from boutiques to outlets, entertainment, including theatre, music, and fundraising events.  So, these are AboutMyBeaches picks if you are in Rehoboth Beach this first week-end of October.

Doggies At The Beach, Premier Boarding Facility, 5th Year Anniversary, Cage Free, Overnight Care, Day Care, Grooming, Training, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches

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.

Doggies at the Beach is located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway.  This is also Rt. 26.  It is right off Rt. 1.  Tel. 302-644-8200.  Website?  www.doggiesatthebeach.com.

Doggies at the Beach offers its customers a 2,400 square ft. indoor, cage free doggie day/night care facility.  Twenty four hour human supervision, 7 days a week.  The dogs are separated by size.  Plenty of toys available, as well as enough beds for their relaxation and comfort.  By the way, they also have private suites.  Climate controlled; your pooches will never be too hot or too cold.

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.
