There will be special strawberry treats, a kissing booth, and a special Valentine keepsake! This event is so much fun as the dogs feel the excitement and are eager to spread their wet, sloppy kisses among the staff and their friends.

January Bowser Report

January 28, 2022 by Michelle Bedard

It’s the start of the new year and The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa is excited to be offering on site training sessions again for those of our pups who are well…in need of some “manners.”

What started last year as an opportunity to teach old and new dogs manners has made its way back to The Ranch, and we couldn’t be more pleased!

“The dog training lessons were very well received by our existing members as well as new guests,” comments Michael Gamache, owner and Dog Hero of The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa.

“We recognize that some dogs and pups need some training to make life easier on their owners and make them more acclimated to socialize with others. We are proud to offer Dog Training by professional dog handlers trained to handle our beloved doggie daycare campers and boarders.”

If you think your dog might be a good candidate for some training or you have questions about the training program, please feel free to reach out to us! Just mention on site dog training and we will be happy to assist you!

Puppy Bowl 2022 is a Huge Success!

We at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa are all wiped out! Puppy Bowl 2022 went down in history as one of the most fun events of the year!

The day began with the smalls warming up for the game with some a little more aggressive than others and some just happy to participate from the comfort of the sidelines.

The bigs took some extra strides along the dog park in anticipation for a fierce competition. We heard some smack talk, but all in all, the warm up session went well beyond our expectations!

By the look of the days’ Game Faces, we knew we were in for a great Puppy Bowl 2022!

Puppy Bowl 2022 Game Faces

Excitement and Penalties During Puppy Bowl 2022

The dogs were definitely geared up for Puppy Bowl 2022, with all eyes, nose, and tongues awaiting the ref’s calls. Sadly, it looks like not all pups were good players as there were some penalties on the field.

Ref calls a time out to assess the penalty on the field.
Penalty called! Unsportsmanlike conduct. Luckily, the player wasn’t down for long!

The Winners of Puppy Bowl 2022 Have Been Named!

Congratulations to Sugar for being named MVP for the second time in a row. This feisty pup may be headed for bigger things, but we want the scouts to know she learned all she knows from The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa’s intensive training program.

Congratulations to all our MVPs-you are all winners in our eyes!

Check out our Facebook page for More Pictures and Videos of Puppy Bowl 2022

We just can’t get enough of the many pictures and videos of Puppy Bowl 2022. Check out the hot dog catching competition, half-time singing, and adorable photos featuring YOUR pups on our Facebook page.

Here’s to all of the participants of Puppy Bowl 2022 and our amazing staff who put on the Biggest Show of the year!

Puppy Bowl 2022! Sign Up Today!

January 11, 2022 by Michelle Bedard

Word around The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa is that the dogs are gearing up for the most anticipated event of the Year: Puppy Bowl 2022.

Last year’s event drew crowds of onlookers, cheerleaders, Puppy Bowl wanna-be participants, our entire staff, our own Michael Gamache as referee, and a singing hot dog. Yes, you heard us! A signing hot dog that sauced up Bruno Mars’ songs like a champ!

This is THE event of the season and one not to miss!

Puppy Bowl 2022 will Take Place on January 27, 2022

The entrance fee is $15 and covers a tailgate party with mouthwatering, irresistible food, MVP awards, full press opportunities on social media and email for those pups hoping to be drafted by the DFL (Dog Football League), live cheerleaders, bandanas to separate the teams, and a whole lot of tail wagging fun.

Does Your Dog Have What it Takes to be Part of Puppy Bowl 2022?

We are currently recruiting all dogs and puppies to be a part of Puppy Bowl 2022. No pupper is too slow, too agile, too plump, too perky, or too shy. Puppy Bowl 2022 brings out the best in all dogs!

We can’t wait to see the competition play out! Live coverage will be announced on our Facebook page where you can watch your dog tromp, tackle, run, intercept, fumble, or crumble into our side judge’s lap.

The fun and laughter never end as your dog can be the star of the show! Puppy Bowl 2022 proves to be a rip-roaring great time for all participants, and you are guaranteed to bring home a tired pooch.

Referees and side judges will be on hand to make sure the crowds and participants do not get out of hand and all dogs will come off the field feeling like a champion!

Do Not Miss the Biggest Event of the Year, Sign Up Today!

If there is only one event you want to participate in, it’s Puppy Bowl 2022 at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa. Contact us today and let us know that your best friend has what it takes to be the Star MVP of the game.

Need Costume Inspiration? Take a Look at Last Year’s Attendees

From the simple sweetie to the scariest monster and the sultry super hero, our guests brought their A-game to The Ranch!

Cute pumpkin!

Who can resist this irresistible pumpkin who apparently dislikes the photography part of the party? We sure can’t, and we think the expression is simply a crowd pleaser!

Monster! Boo! So scary!

We love any type of monster costume, especially on our biggies! He wants you to think he’s one big scary monster, but deep down, we at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa know he’s a marshmallow inside.

Super Hero Dog to the Rescue!

This pup’s able to leap over haystacks, strong enough to play tug of war, and fast enough to get to the water feature before the other dogs without ripping her costume!

We think she owned the look and self-confidence needed to wear this costume, which is why she won one of The Ranch’s most coveted prizes for best costume!

March Bowser News

March 11, 2021 by Michelle Bedard

dog credit to damedeeso

The dogs at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa are howling with excitement! Some of our more pampered pooches overheard our terrific groomers talking excitedly about the latest developments in the news! It appears our owners have been approved in limited capacity to eat indoors, workout at gyms, go to movies, zoos, museums and more!!!

We cannot stop wagging our tails and behinds because we know that this means our people will want to send us to doggie daycare at The Ranch! It’s a win-win situation! Our humans get a night out and we get to play, run, romp, chomp at the water, roll around with our favorite buddies and get all kinds of love, pets, and attention from the amazing staff at the Number One Veterinarian Recommended Doggie Daycare and Spa!

Imagine the Possibilities at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa

While it’s been fun to stay at home with our owners, we know our teens and kids want to get back to school, and we don’t blame them. From what we’ve uncovered with our wet, snoopy noses, our kids get to learn, play with their friends, have lunch, see their teachers, and be in activities when they’re in school!  That sounds like a whole lot of fun because it’s what we do in doggie daycare!

Have you seen the games we get to play? Have you spotted us on video? You have to check us out on our Facebook page! It’s updated throughout the day, so our moms and dads get to check us out! Bently “the girl” owned the place in this cute video from Monday’s daycare.

Make Reservations for Doggie Daycare at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa

Quick! Nudge your people to contact The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa. Michael and his team are ready to take reservations so our owners can go play with their friends, too in Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton, and beyond!

If you are new to The Ranch, you get a FREE day of play and evaluation. Show off your sweet attitude and earn a day of fun in this doggie daycare wonderland!

Canine Vacation for One or the Family, Please

If your family wants to go on vacation, beg them to board you at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa! New doggies get a free first night!

You get your own room with climate controlled surroundings and a raised pet bed! Just like at home, we get taken out for potty breaks, checked for wellness, and ohhhh our favorite part…soft, soothing music! You can’t beat The Ranch! Of course, we have additional offerings for pets who want more attention, more treats, more playtime, and more memories!
