Welcome to Gagnon's Pet Resort, where your dog can be a dog! Established in 1995, we pride ourselves on giving your pet the same loving care that they receive from you at home. While staying at our resort, dogs are able to interact with each other, play with our experienced kennel staff, or join in our daycare to play under the supervision of our 14 experienced dog camp counselors.

Our fully trained staff is pet CPR certified and pet first aid trained. There's a reason over 33 eastern Connecticut veterinarians actively recommend our services to pet lovers in Hartford, Tolland, Windham, Middlesex, and New London counties.

About Us

Report

John Gagnon, known throughout the Northeast as the Dogman, has been training dogs full time since 1994. The inspiration that started this unique Connecticut dog kennel was his desire to reduce the number of healthy dogs killed in Connecticut pounds, currently 15,000 annually. Finding dogs homes is a great effort taken on by many, but does not begin to address two primary root problems.

Boarding

Report

In 1994 I boarded my newly adopted Doberman, Payton, for a day in a kennel, which was really a glorified dog pound. He was so stressed by the experience that he vomited for days after. At the time I was just getting my training business off the ground, and vowed to never board my dogs again. Each passing year, my customer base grew, and with it, demands for more services. I had learned to groom by now, and had added dog daycare in the back yard of my home, where I was still running the business from.

DayCare

Report

Dog daycare is reservation only. Your options to schedule are to do so online through our online reservation (OLR) module on our daycare page. This is by far the most efficient and preferred way to schedule. Initial setup takes a few brief steps, but once set up, you'll have easy access to scheduling etc.

Grooming

Report

Kelly Fox, Abbie Abbott, & Ashley Field make up our grooming staff and together have 24 years of grooming experience. We cater to cats as well as dogs, and offer a wide array of shampoos to treat sensitive skin, flea and tick problems, skunk odors, or just a conditioner for that extra silky feel! Prices vary per breed, so call for a quote today!
