New Winter Hours

Uptown Hounds will be adjusting  our opening hours for winter.  Our new hours of operation beginning November 30th, 2009, will be from 10:00 am until 7:00 pm  Monday through Saturday and 12:00 pm until 7:00 pm on Sunday.  If you have previously made a reservation and planned a drop-off or pick-up between 7:00pm and 7:00pm for dates after November 30th, we will accommodate you.


Reception will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th, but don’t worry about your dog being alone for Turkey Day.  Our dedicated Pet Services Team will be here to pamper your pet while they are staying at our resort.  Reception will also be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day.

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.
With Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approaching, be sure to make your dog’s reservations soon!

Boutique

Don’t know what to get that special someone in your life?  Do they love dogs as much as you?  Take a look in our boutique for a wonderful gift selection. We also have gift certificates available for those hard to shop for people.

Grooming

 

It’s time to make those Holiday grooming appointments.  For glamorous dogs or cats try nail polish, bows, bandanas, scarves with bells or Soft ClawsÒ nail caps for the holidays.  The nail caps come in a variety of colors so your pet can match your holiday attire.

Also remember that throughout the remainder of the cold season, pets need to maintain regular monthly grooming appointments.  Skin, coats, and paw pads dry out and need moisturized.  Conditioners, hot oil treatments, oatmeal baths, and paw balm can all help.  Although haircuts in longer lengths can keep your pet warm, only brushed out, matt free hair can act as insulation! Double coated hair types like Corgis, German Shepherds, and Huskies need the loose shedding hair removed so that the skin can breathe and the undercoat has room to trap warm body heat. Matt-free coats also let the moisture resisting oils cover the whole hair shaft and not let body chilling snow and rain get to the skin.

We hope to see you in our grooming salon this Holiday Season!

Tracy, NCMG
