Shoreline Pet Lodge Continued attention with lots of tail wags-tailored to your needs and your dog's personality. Lots of love and room to roam-cats have their own spacious sleeping area with comforts of home. Dirty dog? Give your pup the royal treatment with our bathing, brushing and nail trim services. My dog Buster has been going to Shoreline Pet Lodge for over six years now, and he loves it more and more each time he goes. The staff is excellent and there is nothing that makes me happier than a tired and smiling pup when I pick him up at the end of the day.

Services
Experience, love of animals and quality pet care are what you receive at Shoreline Pet Lodge, located on six acres of well-manicured property in the Pine Orchard neighborhood of Branford, CT. The owners live on the premises. Owned by Barbara and Dennis Butler for over 33 years, the passion of working in the animal care field started with Barb's family.
Each dog guest that stays with us has comfortable, private accommodations featuring sleeping area, attached exercise area, climate-control, skylights and soothing music. Two dogs in the same family enjoy a double-occupancy suite and rate. A clean and safe environment. Sleeping, exercise and common areas are cleaned several times daily using veterinary-recommended protocols.
Our feline guests are situated in their own private building-away from the dogs. Each cat guest has their own spacious sleeping area, and we provide litter boxes/litter, food, treats, fresh water and bedding. Sleeping areas are cleaned twice daily, during which cats have the ability to roam around the cattery and play with our toys.
Our doggy day care has both climate-controlled indoor and outdoor areas; our outdoor area is partially shaded by natural surroundings throughout the day. Your dog will have a fun-filled day romping with other dogs and interacting with our trained team who love to care for your pet. Our doggy day care is divided into 2-3 groups based on size, temperament and energy level.

The staff know all the names of the dogs even if they had only been there one time. It's the cleanest facility, the staff love what they do and pay a great deal of attention to all the dogs in their care. There are fun activities such as agility or puzzles you can add on to your dogs stay!

My 9 month old pup Dakota loves doggie daycare at Shoreline Pet Lodge. Your able to watch the your pup over the webcam, and see the incredible attention the staff gives each dog. The Shoreline Pet Lodge has made such a difference by taking the stress and worry away while I work by providing such a positive experience for my Dakota! I'm also impressed with the cleanliness! I'd like to thank the entire staff for providing such love and caring for my Dakota!

Our dogs Comet and Annie loved their stay, they didn't want to leave. It is always tough leaving your loved ones to be cared for by someone else but at the Shoreline Pet Lodge I have no worries, I know they're being loved and getting their play time so they can enjoy a vacation when I'm on vacation.

Best Dog daycare and boarding around! My pup comes home more tired than he did at his previous daycare. The extras offered at shoreline are awesome!(dog birthday parties, learn and play, and daycare extras.) I highly recommend Shoreline Pet Lodge!

I'm so happy I found Shoreline Pet Lodge for my high energy dog. He comes home everyday happy and exhausted, he sleeps like a rock, and I don't worry about him while I'm at work. I can watch him on the webcam during the day which always assures me that he's safe and happy. The grounds are beautiful, and the facilities are immaculate. The owners and staff are all very friendly and caring toward the animals.

I'm happy to know that Shoreline Pet Lodge also offers overnight boarding in the event I need to go away. I highly recommend Shoreline Pet Lodge to anyone looking for a reliable, clean, beautiful space for your dog to play.

My two bulldogs stayed for over a week and came back happy and healthy. Very friendly staff. I only wish I could have gotten more detailed responses on how my dogs were enjoying their stay or perhaps a text or photo. I would definitely recommend it and I'm sure we will use it again in the future

My parents recently boarded their bulldog, Katie, at Shoreline Pet Lodge. The owner personally made daily phone calls to inform my parents how well Katie was adjusting and bonding with the staff. Shoreline Pet Lodge's staff cared for, watched, and walked Katie often. And Katie LOVED being there. It really made a difference to be at ease knowing your dog, a very important member of the family, was being cared for so well. Shoreline Pet Lodge is HIGHLY recommended! Thank you!

We love Shoreline Pet Lodge! My dog Elliott goes there for daycare as well as boarding, he has a blast all day playing with other dogs. We have done a walk through of the facility it is very clean for having 30 plus sometimes dogs in there a day. I enjoy having the cameras in the waiting room. Elliott has even gotten to star in one of their ADs in shoreline times. Great place!

Barbara and her staff are amazing! My husband and I were recently deployed and left our elderly cat in Shoreline's care. They provided the best care possible. They brought him to vet appointments, gave him daily shots and medicine, and sat with him during meal time to ensure he didn't get lonely. They are very clean and a caring business. Our dogs also go to daycare at Shoreline Pet Lodge. They come home happy and tired! I can't say enough good things about this business.

Shoreline Pet Lodge is the best kennel facility we have ever used. Our dog is our baby and everyone at Pet Lodge knows him and loves him. They take great care of him. I can have him get walks and extra attention and play time. When I go to pick him up he is a happy dog and I am a happy owner.
