Does your pooch need a getaway? Smith Farms is providing a $1,350 gift certificate for boarding services in 2021 for your dog.

Smith Farms believes that both physical and mental stimulation are the keys to happy dogs, so they offer community playtime three (3) times daily while boarding.

Community playtime is a group of dogs of similar size and temperament, together in one of their many play/exercise yards. Playtime is supervised and activities can include a dip in the pool, a game of friendly chase, and lots of sniffing around.

Smith Farms also offers VIP upgrades for their guests. The activities include cuddle time, extra playtime, fetch, or a mile-long leash walk.

Additional services are a departure bath and/or nail filing.

Certificate is not eligible for use on dog training. Dog must meet Smith Farms boarding criteria See website for more information
