Pamper your pet at 'Home'

For the devoted pet owner, a simple kennel doesn't compare to a true treat — a pet resort. With a new business in town, pampered pets get daycare.
At Home Sweet Home Pet Resort, 2140 Haskell Ave., dogs enjoy supervised care, interaction with other dogs, TV featuring the Animal Planet channel, an 8100-square-foot outdoor play area and wading pools.
Home Sweet Home owner Tiffany Saturday, a former firefighter and paramedic, opened the resort in July. She said she opened the resort because of her love for animals.
"Here we don't treat the animals like people's pets, we treat them like people's children," Saturday said.
Heidi Hillman, Gardner grad
uate student, takes her 2-year-old Australian Shepherd/Labrador mix, Max, to doggie careat the resort three times a week.
"Home Sweet Home is unsurpassable by the other pet daycares we've tried," Hillman said, "We get much more for our money here."
She liked that the dogs were allowed to run free all day and interact with other dogs, instead of being cooped up in a pen.
Saturday said the daycare was a good idea for any pet owner who worked or took classes all day, so they could come home to a relaxed dog.
"Our job is to wear the dogs out for the owners so they're calm at home for their owners," she said.
Hillman said doggie daycare was beneficial for Max because it let him socialize and get exercise at the same time. The daycare helped curb Max's negative behavior such as chewing, barking and jumping
while at home, she said.
Lily Gruber, Home Sweet Home employee, said she had observed just one major tiff between dogs.
"For the most part, we have no problems though," Gruber said. "The dogs really love it here."
Carrie Stockton, veterinary technician at Wakarusa Veterinary Hospital, said daycare was healthy for dogs.
"It teaches them socializing skills and it keeps them out of the house where they may get themselves in trouble," Stockton said.
Saturday said the daycare could raise confidence and coordination levels in dogs and increase their health by lowering their weight.
