We started taking out puppy to the free Saturday puppy socialization sessions. our Lab puppy was always exhausted after and he had the best time playing with other puppies. (Super fun to interact with the puppies for us also) Once he was too old to participate we started taking him to daycare. just one - two times a week and he has learned to settle down a bit with other dogs. think the more mature dogs have helped to teach him some manners. The staff is always friendly, even at 6:30 in the morning! We may need some overnight care and I will not hesitate to use Fit and Fury! Highly recommended!

My pup, Izzy, loves it here! The staff are always welcoming and accommodating. I feel good knowing my pup has a good home away from home. They do fun activities once a month and even hosted a doggy birthday for my baby and sent over a whole bunch of pictures!

W/o stopped on without an appt. and they were very accommodating. Gave us a tour as best they could. We found the facilities very clean and the staff were all very friendly. Dogs being picked up seemed happy. The lady who gave us the tour was able to answer all our question. When needed we would not hesitate to leave our precious puppy with fit and furry.

We love Fit&Furry! We have a 3 year old 110lb German Shepard that a lot of people can find intimidating which can lead to him having some nervous energy. Every time we drop him off they know him by name and love spending time with him. He is also excited to have playtime with his favorite toys! They always promptly answer all check-up related questions via text and even send pictures of his day! We feel very comfortable knowing he's in good hands while we're away!
