Daycare, Boarding, the Dog Wash and Grooming, all under one roof
Two things happen at 161 Main Street. Dogs play all day with people who know them by name, and dogs get clean. We have been doing both in Medway since 2009.
Texts answered in about 15 minutes. Emails within one business day.
Four services, one place, one set of people
Your dog does not get handed off to a stranger between services. The same staff who watch the play groups are the ones who towel your dog off.
Dog Daycare
Play groups matched by size, temperament and play style, indoors and out, in a climate controlled building with a lot of natural light.

Overnight Boarding
Climate controlled kennels with modern fire suppression and alarm systems, for dogs who have already passed their daycare assessment.

The Dog Wash
Wash your own dog in a waist-high tub with everything provided, or drop off and let us do it. Neither one needs an appointment.

Grooming
Full grooming by appointment, one dog at a time, plus walk-in de-shedding for the season when your dog is redecorating the house.
See groomingThe same faces, every single day
Nobody hands your dog off to a stranger here. The people watching the play groups are the people who towel your dog off at the end of it, and most of them have been doing it for years. Your dog gets known, not processed.
Staff are trained in dog CPR and canine first aid.
Play groups are matched by size, temperament and play style, and staff stay in the room.
Owned and run by the same family since 2009, and still independent.
Getting started takes one morning
We like to meet a dog before they join a play group, so every new dog does an assessment day first. It costs nothing, and your dog is welcome to stay the whole day once they have settled in.

Send your dog's records
Rabies certificate, bordetella, distemper, and a copy of your town license. Your vet can email them to us directly before you come in.
-
Come in for the assessment
We run assessments every day and mornings work best. Plan on leaving your dog at least four hours. There is no charge for the assessment day.
-
Book whenever you need us
Once your dog is assessed, daycare is open Monday through Friday from 6:30am and weekends from 9:00am, and overnight boarding is available by reservation.
Know which one you need
A wash gets your dog clean. Use a waist-high tub yourself with everything provided, or drop off and we will do it. Neither needs an appointment, and the self-serve side is the reason a lot of Medway found us in the first place.
Grooming is the one that includes clipping. Brush out, bath, dry, ears, nails and a haircut, booked in advance and done one dog at a time. No assembly line, and your dog goes home as soon as they are finished rather than waiting in a crate.
Come see the place
The best way to know whether we are right for your dog is to walk in. Book a meet and greet, or just call. We would rather talk it through than have you guess. We are on Route 109 at Medway Mills, a short drive from Millis, Franklin, Bellingham and Milford.
