Just for Fun! Dogs of The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa

March Bowser Report

by

March madness is in full swing at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa. Between the warm, sunny weather and the chilly rains, it’s a madhouse at The Ranch. And by madhouse, we mean these dogs are living it up to their fullest, and we wouldn’t want things any other way!

March Bacon Bubble Party

March began strong with our Bacon Bubble Party One of our most popular events, the Bacon Bubble Party drew in a crowd of canines eager to get their chops on our doggie safe, bacon flavored bubbles. Let the pictures speak for themselves.

Both Bigs and Littles got in on the Bubble Fun! Thank you to everyone who participated in the bubble fun!

March Madness Celebrates Freya’s Birthday

Our doggie daycare guests get treated like family! When there’a a birthday to celebrate, we make sure the guest of honor feels special. Happy March Madness Birthday to our gal pal, Freya! She is a beautiful chocolate lab celebrating one years of puppyhood. Her special wish is playtime, and we made sure her special wish came true!

March Madness with the Dogs of The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa

We have to say that our dogs of The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa are some of the goofiest, silliest, tail- waggiest, tongue-hanging-outiest pups of all time. Here for March Madness are some special guests. Whether you are a doggie daycare visitor or a doggie boarder, we think you’re pretty special.

The Nose Knows

This snooper has his nose to the ground and is quick to pick up on any scent-hooman or canine.

The Eyes Have It

We are simply mesmerized by this guy’s eyes…we think he’s got a future in hypnotism because suddenly, we feel very sleepy!

Simply Sophisticated

This Dobie is a natural at posing for the camera! She even got photobombed by a Golden Fan!

Nothing But Legs!

Our Great Dane guest shows off her elegant legs, leaving some of the Corgis and Schnauzers bitter. At The Pet Ranch Resort and Spa, we find beauty in all of our canine guests.

January Bowser Report

by

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!

December Bowser Report

Here at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa we are checking our Naughty and Nice list to update Santa as he is getting a copy of our December Bowser Report.

There is a lot of activity at The Ranch, and it appears that everyone is getting along for now; we are pleased to report that all our daycare, boarding, and grooming pooches are going to be on Santa’s Nice List.

Update on the Smalls at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa

The smalls are loving time together at The Ranch. Some are sporting their winter wear while others are just way too cool to admit the cooler weather is upon us.

We got to celebrate Chewy’s 11th birthday on December 3 which made us all happy! There’s nothing like sharing a birthday with your friends!

The Biggies are Acting Like it’s Summer

The warm weather keeps the Biggies playing in our one-of-a-kind water feature! Nothing says, “It’s December!” then a bunch of dogs enjoying our water feature. Then again, labs are huge hunting and water dogs so no weather is too cold for them to join in on any water activity!

The Newbies are Fitting in at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa

We are often asked how a newbie fits in with the regulars. We can honestly say that most newbies fit in very well at The Ranch. Between our well-mannered dogs and our staff, we keep a careful eye to make sure our newbies feel right at home at The Ranch.

Take a look at this video of our newbie, Sophie, enjoying her time with the regulars. It’s heartwarming to see our regulars making everyone feel right at home!

Look, Mom and Dad, I really want to go to Doggie Daycare at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa! So I’ve compiled a list of fun local, Livermore activities to keep you busy while I’m in Doggie Daycare!

I know you’ll miss me, but with all the activities The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa plans for us, all the great adults playing with us, and all the groovy friends I have waiting for me, it’s only fair that you get to have fun, too!

So, grab some friends or go by yourselves and check out these fun local, Livermore activities.

Wine Taste in Livermore

Glass Of Wine With Grapes And Barrel On A Sunny Background. Italy Tuscany Region

You don’t have to be as smart and refined as a poodle to know that Livermore has some of the best wine tasting in the Bay Area!

The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa is in the heart of wine country, so when you drop me off to play with my pack buddies, you can smell, swirl, sip, or spit that juice made from grapes all you want! Just don’t give us any grapes because they are toxic to dogs.

Golf in Livermore

I’ve heard people yell, “Fore!” when they swing at this little, tiny ball with what looks like a stick. I’m not sure what “Fore” means, but when that word is said, a bunch of people run and cover their heads. What a funny game you play!

I’d love to chase that ball on those rolling green hills and dig in the sand! Maybe one day you can take me with you so that when you hit the ball in the water, I can retrieve it!

Speaking of retrievers, have you seen some of them at The Ranch? They love to play in the water park that is unique to The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa.

So why don’t you check out the Golf courses in Livermore? I hear some of them are the best in the country!

Hike in Livermore

Oh, boy, do I love a good hike! But I’m ok with you dropping me at doggie daycare so you can hike without me sniffing out snakes or other dogs or needing to stop at every bush, twig, plant, and blade of grass to sniff who dared come before me on the trails.

Livermore has some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the area. Check them out! You can even run, jog, or ride your bike!

Shop in Livermore

Talk about premium shopping in Livermore! The San Francisco Premium Outlets have so many chic, trendy, name brand stores with discount prices! I’m almost as excited about you shopping as I am about meeting my friends on the play structures at the dog park at doggie daycare!

Stay awhile and eat at the many eateries when you tire from shopping. Just don’t forget to pick up something for me! Afterall, I am your best friend!

Hoomans, Treat Your Dog to a Fun Time at The Ranch Pet Resort’s Doggie Daycare!

For a fun-filled day, morning, or afternoon while you wine taste, golf, hike, shop, dine, or play with your own best friends, sign your pooch up for doggie daycare at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa!

Vet approved and loved by hoomans and pooches, The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa in Livermore offers a safe, fun, monitored playground for all of man’s best friends. Don’t wait! Make your reservation today!

July Bowser Report!

by

It’s heating up 🔥 at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa! Our dogs are loving this summer weather so they can splash in the pool, play chase with their friends, frolic at the dog park, and have sleepovers with bedtime stories!

We recently came across a hooman who didn’t know The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa existed! Can you imagine that? Their poor pooch was boarded at another kennel and showed so much anxiety and stress he barely ate and slept.

So what makes The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa stand out from others? We thought we would show you using some of our canine visitors!

What Makes The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa Different from Other Dog Boarding Facilities?

Our Dogs Photobomb. Take a look at this cutie as he jumps right in front of the action during a friendly game of tug-of-war! Our doggie daycare visitors enjoy playing with each other and our doggie managers.

Our Dogs Speak French

C’est Vrai! (French for it’s true!) Our dogs are some of the most eloquent Frenchies in the land. It shows in their demeanor, their style of sitting, and their attitudes. Just look at those faces! Nous amions nos Frenchies! (We love our Frenchies!)

Our Dogs Have Style

Presley is the coolest of the cool dogs, sporting The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa hat. He’s got style and fashion in his genes…just look at the coat. Stripes are always in at The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa!

Our Dogs Have Attitude

Take a look at this guy-he’s not afraid to tell our doggie managers what he thinks about nap time, the ball hog who doesn’t share, or the littles who need their own time at the daycare center.

Our Dogs Know How to Read

This Pom chose this book to read before bedtime. He wants to make sure every dog knows he or she is loved for what they are and what they do. At The Ranch Pet Resort and Spa, all dogs are welcomed and loved! Bedtime stories are a big deal at The Ranch.

Check out our Facebook page to see more dogs loving story time!
