U Lucky Dog, Denver

Pet owners know that the best thing a doggie daycare can provide is peace of mind. At U Lucky Dog, they do more than promise that dogs will get lots of exercise and human interaction; they allow owners to check on their four-legged friends with live streaming video on their website, with cameras situated on all play areas in the 18,000-square foot facility. Because of this, 5280 magazine named U Lucky Dog its Editor's Choice for Best Doggie Daycare 2012.

In 2016, The Littles Dog House was recently added to the award-winning daycare. It is a separate building completely dedicated to dogs under 40 lbs. and has already become the place to be for the lucky little dogs in town. Before admitting a pup to dog daycare, knowledgeable staffers evaluate its temperament to determine its best playmates. During the day, dogs frolic in indoor play areas as well as outdoor ones with elevated turf, obstacles to climb, and more. Overnight guests enjoy private enclosures with elevated beds and a schedule that includes play and nap time
