Doggy Day Care Opens Bone-Shaped Pool

New doggy day cares and pet boarding kennels are offering pups luxury treatment, and paving the way for puns -- an opportunity that several media groups seem all too willing to take. The doggy day care owners as well as several sources, including The Huffington Post, have posted pictures of dogs beating the summer heat with a refreshing dip in the provided pool. "It's a pool pawty," one caption reads.

What are some of the most unique (and sometimes most indulgent) day care and kenneling companies you may want to consider the next time you need to board Fido?

Luxury Dog Care Services
Yes, some doggy daycare centers have pools -- just for dogs! -- and sometimes they're even shaped like bones, too. Look closely at websites and any related publications to choose the best pet boarding kennels. They may not have pools everywhere, but there are a fair share of facilities that allow dogs to run freely, in a fenced-in environment, while you're away. Check to see if the clinic or kennel has emergency vet services and veterinarian supplies on-hand as well. Remember, dog owners make a trip to the vet at least 2.6 times per year on average. True, while you're away may not be the most convenient time, but sometimes things happen.

Nannies Aren't Just For Human Children
Yes, you can get a nanny for your dog. There are several professionals who are more than willing to come to you. This can be an especially appealing option if your dog has any special needs. Maybe he or she doesn't get along well with other animals. Other dogs have conditions like arthritis and need a little extra TLC when it comes to everyday activities, like playing, walking, and eating.

Before embarking on a much-needed vacation or an equally necessary (but less fun) business trip, carefully research your doggy day care options. Americans own 74,059,000 cats and 69,926,000 dogs. Make sure your pup is well-treated and loved while you are away.
