GRAND OPENING
Be Our Guest
At the Uptown Hounds Grand Opening Celebration
Wednesday, November 19 through Saturday, November 22
We have been serving you since the early days of summer, but it is finally time for our GRAND OPENING!  Invite all of your canine-loving friends and come celebrate with us!  Stop in for a tour, enjoy specials at the café and boutique, and even receive a special discount good for your holiday reservations!

Current guests, we invite you to join us at our official Ribbon Cutting Friday, November 21 at 4:00 p.m.  We will be taking our family portrait as part of the ceremony and would love to include all of our clients and guests!  Please join us.

Holiday Boarding. Ease the Jitters!

Are you nervous about boarding your dog during the holidays?  Boarding can be a stressful experience; sometimes more for you than your dog!  Perhaps they have never stayed away from home, or just not at Uptown Hounds.  Uptown Hounds resort is designed to minimize stress for our guests, but we have another great way to ease your worries and prepare your dog for boarding.  Use our daycare program as a "warm up!"

Not only will your dogs learn that Uptown Hounds is a fun place to be, but since they will only be here for a short time, they will be assured that you do return.  When you pick up your happy dogs at the end of the day, you will both feel better about leaving them with us for a longer stay.

Here is the best newsyour first day of daycare is entirely FREE for a limited time!

You and your dogs start the day with a 15-minute interview, and then they spend the day being introduced to the play groups and evaluated to assure safe play.  When you pick-up at the end of the day, you will receive a report on how the day went, and they will be good and tired from a day of play!

Make your holiday reservations NOW!

YOU-PICK CHECK-IN

You decide your check-in time to be anytime during our opening hours (Mon-Sat 8am to 8pm and Sun Noon to 8pm), and your check-out time is just the same on the last day of your stay.  No-hassle convenience!


Once evaluated and approved, your dogs may participate in daycare which operates Monday-Friday, 7:00am to 6:00pm.  In addition, you may take advantage of daycare while staying in the hotel.  They play with the same buddies they're used to during the day, and spend the evenings in a private hotel room. Daycare and familiarization have many benefits for you and your dogs. Think how much better you will feel this holiday season knowing your dogs are having the time of their lives at their resort!

Contact reception at 859.255.2275 to reserve your FREE Daycare Evaluation before your hotel stay.

NOTE FROM THE CHEF

No Leftovers for Rover

The holiday season is a delectable time for feasting on all of our favorite indulgences. The desire to share these treats with man's best friend is very tempting. However, treating them to something special could actually be causing them great harm.

The rise of pancreatitis in dogs is most evident during this festive time of year. Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is in charge of the production of insulin, which controls the body's blood sugar level. It is also responsible for making digestive enzymes crucial to normal food digestion. When the pancreas is inflamed it prohibits the digestive enzymes from leaving the pancreas. The pancreas literally begins to "digest itself," damaging the tissues that created them.

Though the cause of this illness in dogs is not entirely known, dogs with a diet high in fat are known to be more prone to the illness. The best way to avoid pancreatitis is to stick with your dog's current low-fat diet and keep all the leftovers to yourself.
