Pet Services in La Vista

Three Dog Bakery unleashed its first tasty treats for man's cuddly companion back in 1989 and now has legs across North America, China, and Japan. The quickly expanding barkery takes pride in providing all-natural, human-grade foods to doggies—foods that will help them live long, healthy lives while keeping them fit and promoting a positive Air Bud-esque self-image. In addition to fresh, baked-in-store goods and refrigerated products, Three Dog Bakery treats furry friends to prepackaged all-natural rawhides such as the vanilla rawhide braid. To reward especially good behavior or console your pup after a nasty catfight, appeal to his or her sweetest incisors with some vanilla Lick 'n Crunch, apple oatmeal Jump 'n Sit Bits, Peanut Woofers, or carob chip Bark 'n Fetch oven-baked biscuits.

The crew at Miracle Hills Ranch and Stables includes passionate horse lovers and more than a dozen four-legged friends. Graceful steeds don saddles as students greet them for lessons and trail rides through Miracle Hills Ranch and Stables’ wooded trails. Miracle Hills also consists of an indoor riding arena, a viewing room, and 29 heated indoor stables, which house horses for boarding while also welcoming other critters such as resident dog, Buddy. The ranch also hosts birthday parties and camps for riders of all skill levels.

Wag’s staff aims to improve the quality of life for animals and their human fan base through personalized service and high-quality products. Aisles overflow with natural, organic, and premium pet food, treats, and supplements specially formulated to keep dogs in good health or make mailmen’s pant legs taste like broccoli. The store’s inventory of clothing bridges the gap between furry customers and their bipedal caretakers by stocking both human apparel and animal-size swag such as doggy boots and leashes, whereas its pet food contains no fillers, byproducts, or artificial colors or flavors. In addition to home delivery and pet-grooming services, Wag partners with local animal shelters for in-store adoption events, helping loving families find a use for those pet-size holes they accidentally blasted in their front doors.

For businessman Allen Tully, caring for dogs has always been a passionate hobby. Throughout the 1960s, Tully’s world-class afghan hounds garnered awards at shows throughout the United States. But most importantly, the pups became beloved members of his family. In 1976, Tully abandoned his career to pursue his passion: drawing on his love for dogs and his sophisticated knowledge of canine behavior, he opened Tully's Kennels.

Today, Tully’s Kennels matches pet owners-to-be with playful, healthy puppies and gives current pet owners peace of mind with overnight boarding services. Rigorous cleanliness standards—including daily pressure washing and sanitizing of boarding facilities—along with a strict code of ethics, a caring staff, and regular veterinary checks ensure that young pups and boarded pets stay happy and healthy. Tully's Kennels sources a range of pure and mixed-breed puppies—including shih tzus, beagles, pugs, bulldogs, and terriers—from local, licensed breeders who comply with standards set by the USDA, the Humane Society, cruelty-prevention societies, and Krypto the Superdog. And Tully himself continues to breed a few litters of puppies every year.

Dogs don’t see the full rainbow, so they don’t appreciate the emerald-hued walls at The Green Spot. Instead, pups follow in the smells of organic and all-natural foods and treats for canines and felines. The products are made without fillers such as corn, wheat, or teddy-bear stuffing, and colorful toys and supplies hang from the walls. Near displays of dog mats made from recycled materials, visitors flush dirt and debris from their pooches’ coats at the self-serve dog wash. The murmur of conversation drifts from the pet-friendly lounge, where owners meet up to sip coffee and discuss methods for training dogs to stop burying so many time capsules.

Pets require constant attention. Luckily, busy owners can turn to Bailey’s Bed and Bath, whose service boards, grooms, walks, and pet sits furry friends. An experienced staff gently snips away tousled fur, leaving dogs stylish enough to chase even the most stand-offish ball. Daily dog-walking services get four legs moving through the neighborhood while owners are at work. During humans’ vacations, pets are kept company with in-home pet sitting or a stay at the dog hotel, where separate suites house each pooch and an indoor play area and fenced backyard offer ample space to play poker.
