Santa Paws Pawty is a Huge Holiday Hit

by

Our Santa Paws Pawty event was a sold out success. Bigs and Littles come dressed in ugly sweaters, guessed how many treats were in the cookie jar, had pictures taken with Santa Claus, sang songs with Santa, and made a holiday craft!

Everyone from our staff, clients, and our beloved daycare dogs joined together to make our Santa Paws Pawty our biggest success yet!

Thanks to our dedicated staff who was definitely in the holiday spirit, The Ranch was a winter wonderland of festivity complete with a decked out lobby!

Santa Shared His Naughty and Nice List

Santa took time with each attendee to review the year and share whether or not the they made the naughty or nice list. With the exception of a few of the attendees who were given second chances to make the nice list, we are pleased to report that Santa deemed all dogs to have a special place on his Nice List!

And with faces such as these, even the Grinch would agree these sweethearts made the Nice list!

We Can’t Wait for Santa Paws Pawty 2026

As handlers, we come to work everyday with a love and passion for our clients’ dogs, and events such as our Santa Paws Pawty makes our jobs so much fun!

Thank you, everyone, for supporting the Santa Paws Pawty. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

Howl-o-Ween is Coming to The Ranch!

by

Dog owners, it’s that “wicked and ghoulish” time of year known as Howl-o-Ween! Our beloved daycare dogs transform from sweet, playful, bouncy, lovable and huggable fur babies to ghouls, ghosts, super heroes, athletes, monsters, and more!

Mark your calendars for Howl-o-Ween 2024. This fun event is a staff and owner favorite for daycare dogs who compete for the best Howl-o-Ween costume. Your fur baby will be captured in costume with a specially designed, spooktacular backdrop- just perfect for the occasion.

Big dogs, little dogs, dogs with hair, and dogs with flair pose playfully in some of the best costumes ever conceived. All of this is only available at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa!

Stay tuned for more details, as our staff is hard at work coming up with an even better party than last year. Competition is stiff, so we recommend you start planning your dog’s costume sooner rather than later!

Check our blog and social media sites for past year’s fun and excitement!

The Bubble Party was a Popping Good Time!

We want to thank all of the dogs who participated in our Bubble Party. Based on the images snapped and all of the snapping that went on as bacon bubbles were blown for our guests, everyone had a yummy good time!

The Ranch prides ourselves in creating events that make it fun for our dogs to be away from their families. We want our guests to feel at home while in our care, and the Bacon Bubble Party is always a big hit.

Honestly, we aren’t sure who had more fun-the staff or the dogs! With bubbles overflowing and dogs chasing them, we had a lot of laughs and wore out a lot of pups!

Here are just a few images of the great time. More images and fun can be seen on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Happy Halloween from The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa

by

From spooky sharks to Barbie, cowboys, Superheroes, farm, zoo, and wild animals and every idea in between, The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa‘s annual Howl-o-ween photos captured the spirit of Halloween.

As usual, some pets were more excited than others to be in the limelight and were quite at ease being photographed, while others just did the bare minimum to make Mom and Dad happy!

Nevertheless, this event is one of The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa‘s favorites as we really get a great shot of each dog, cat, or pair of dogs and their personalities.

While we don’t have a favorite Howl-o-ween costume participant, we are super excited to have the cats participate this year!

A Big Shout Out to our Amazing Staff who Made Howl-o-Ween Possible

This event could not take place without the patience, enthusiasm and creativity of our staff who love capturing the best side of each participant, even if it involves wrangling them in and grabbing their attention or taking shot after shot until we capture the perfect expression!

Take a Peek at Some of Our Howl-o-ween Participants

We just can’t get enough of this cuteness overload! For more images sorted by last name, please visit our Facebook page.

Please Keep Your Pets Safe this Halloween

Between the cars, Trick-or-Treators, candy and ghoulish activity Halloween will bring, please take a minute to make sure your dog or cat is safe and secure this Halloween.

It’s a good time to make sure your dogs and cats are safely inside and unable to run out the door as you welcome the ghosts, dragons and fairies that come knocking on your door for candy.

For dogs and cats who get especially nervous with activity, doorbells or strangers, a calming aid or Thundershirt may prove especially helpful.

Remember chocolate is especially toxic to dogs who may easily snatch a Snickers or two while no one is looking. Let’s keep all of our campers out of the ER and save you some money by putting all chocolate out of reach.

Light up the darkness with a glow in the dark collar while you walk your pooch around the neighborhood and remember to have anyone ask to pet your dog first to avoid any anxious dog behaviors.

Have a Safe and Happy Halloween

The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa wants to thank you for trusting us with the care of your dog or cat, and we wish you a safe and happy Halloween!

Thanks to everyone for allowing us the pleasure of enjoying another eventful Howl-o-ween photo day!
