A cage-less doggy day care and grooming facility, AlphaDog pampers pooches with outdoor frolicking and sudsy shampoos. Before their stay at AlphaDog, all dogs must take part in a one- to four-hour temperament trial. Customers with crowded schedules can drop off their loyal labradoodles at 7 a.m. for a full-day stay that keeps them out of harm's way as their owners attend to important workday business, such as fomenting against widespread usage of split infinitives. As the dogs bound around the springy turf of the day care's 5,000-square-foot outdoor play area, canine companions can sample carefully selected crunchy treats and make new friends before the 7 p.m. pickup time.

Owners can also opt for an overnight stay that keeps Rover in the dark while they pop over to visit their secret dog in the next town over. Or choose a full grooming shampoo to treat dapper dachshunds and fashion-conscious corgis with fresh-smelling fur. Grooming services include a bath and nail-cutting along with a haircut and dry; they are offered Tuesdays through Saturdays.
