Pet Services in Lakeland

Since 1989, Three Dog Bakery's treat chefs have eschewed additive-filled dog treats to forge fresh baked, human-grade, and 100% all-natural canine cuisine. Fidos gleefully dig into oven-baked fare such as the vanilla classic crème cookies ($6.99) or apple oatmeal rollover rewards ($6.99), which can be used to reinforce good behavior or flawless slam-dunks. A handful of peanut wafers ($6.99) or cheese biscuits ($6.99) keep canines' tails wagging. Pet owners can take to Three Dogs' site to browse its hearty list of products and peruse the ingredient information, which includes such elements as apple, molasses, and mailperson shoes.

At Utopia Animal Hospital, Dr. Clay and her team of professional pet minders keeps furry companions fit and frisky with comfortable amenities and gentle care. Dogs hang their hats and unpack their suitcases for stays that include spacious kennels, exercise two or three times a day, and, for dogs boarding three nights or longer, complimentary baths. Feline vacationers lodge in luxury condos, obligingly enduring healthful and deodorizing baths before batting at toys or practicing serves on the racquetball courts.

As a member and former president of the Association for Veterinary Family Practice, Dr. Clay expertly performs annual exams, testing, and vaccines, a necessary prerequisite for pets looking to stay healthy or run for Congress. If problems arise, her staff can swiftly take action to remedy the issue through surgery, take-home treatments, and expert advice. While owners wait, they can munch on popcorn, sip complimentary beverages, and surf the lobby’s free WiFi.

Paw prints are everywhere within Doggtropolis—adorned on the floors, painted onto tables, and covering the feet of canine customers. Within the shop, self-service stations supply everything needed to clean pups, including shampoo and specialized blow-dryers that won't burn dogs' skin or resurrect the '80s perm craze. Onsite groomers can treat pets to express or full-service grooming packages. They trim nails, clean ears, and express glands, with optional services such as haircuts. To complement these makeovers, Doggtropolis can teach dogs basic obedience and how to plot successful coups against cats.
