About us

THERE'S A REASON WE CALL IT THE WATERING BOWL For us, it’s all about socialization. Dogs need it, and so do humans for that matter. It encourages healthy interaction and much-needed exercise. And water is a great facilitator for interaction. Just ask the kitchen in your house or the upside down cooler in your office. Animals of all species congregate around water—or watering holes if you will. And that’s exactly what we provide for your dogs, a common place to share experiences, burn energy and feel safe to enjoy the company of friends. For these reasons, we offer multiple places within our facilities for man’s best friends to hang out. First and foremost, we provide plenty of climate-controlled, indoor space where they can sniff out new buddies, unencumbered by leashes. We also provide expansive outdoor areas to run and play. And in the summertime, they can even splash around in our doggy pools, or as we refer to them, oversized watering bowls. Plus, we offer a relaxation room where dogs can go to get away from the pack. It’s still cage and leash-free, but for some of our older patrons or smaller pups, it offers a breather from all the crazy fun we’re having with the bigger group. The result is a happy a dog. And hopefully, a happy owner who appreciates that their pup has been running and playing all day with newfound pals. Just know that a nap on the way home is their way of saying thanks. All dogs go to heaven. The lucky ones go to The Watering Bowl.

The young dogs were fine. My 13 year old was so dehydrated after his stay his vet put him on IV hydration for 24 hours. Not for older dogs.q

During an extended "Sniff Around" one of the staff physically drug my very scared K9 (2x abused rescue) by her leash into their fenced area. After posting a negative review on their FB page, someone decided to call me. When I stated what happened, she literally asked me, "How do you think we should have handled this to get your dog into the fenced holding area?" I was floored that she found this acceptable. We will NEVER board our dogs with The Watering Bowl.

My 12 year old dog spent a day and a half there. As a result, he had to be put on IV liquids and stay overnight at my vet's because he was so dehydrated. Not suitable for older dogs.

Have been wanting to tell others this time came home with a huge hot spot on her chest. She could not reach it, so had to be done by another dog. Discovered when I got home no one said a word. This is just a nasty place. Been there three times and each time got worse.

They are really good and I would recommend them to everybody. I did a six weeks basic obedience course for $149 and some individual private lessons for $25 each. The training was great. Unfortunately they are an expensive service.

I did review The Watering Bowl's services before but this is in regards to their grooming services.
On Thurs 12/5, I had taken my dog to the Hanley location for doggy daycare. An employee asked if I needed any other services such as a bath or nail trim. I am glad she did because my dog needed maintenance on his nails. When I picked him up after work he had a fun day of play and a nail trim.
On Sat 12/21, I took my dog to the Lindbergh location for a half day of play. I asked if they could bathe him as well, my pup was very stinky. When I picked him up he smelled soooo good and still does. It was a nice to get back a clean dog.
I would use both services again. The employees at both locations have been so nice. I like that I am leaving my dog in a pleasant place.
I appreciate the employees enjoying the dogs and being polite in general.

We have used The Watering Bowl for daycare and boarding and have had great experiences each time. Our dogs come back exhausted but energized. They have a great time playing outside and roaming around with their friends. I also like being able to see pictures of the girls on Facebook. And most importantly, the Watering Bowl is vigilant about kennel cough, which means that I know my dogs will come home healthy. The locations are so much more attractive than their competition, as well. Overall, it's been great experience and I will not take my dogs anywhere else for these services.

I love the Watering Bowl for doggie daycare!
My dog loves it and is happy and worn out when I pick him up.
I will use them again and have recommended them to others.

My overall experience with the Watering Bowl was great. They allowed the dogs to run free instead of keeping them caged up. The staff was professional was and friendly. I would highly recommend them to others in the future.
