Wellen Park pet parents now have a convenient location for daycare and overnight boarding. Bayside Pet Resort is hosting a grand opening event Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and it will be open to the public. Attendees will have an opportunity to tour the new location and win a variety of prizes. This is Bayside Pet Resort’s fourth location at 8800 South Tamiami Trail – a freestanding 16,000-square-foot building offering overnight accommodations for 100 dogs and 18 cats, two doggie daycares for large and small dogs, grooming, and obedience and agility training. The grand opening event will have a variety of raffle prizes for attendees to win. Guests could win a discount on a reservation, a gift basket full of dog toys and treats, lottery tickets and more. The building, situated on 2.5 acres, is a new prototype with larger dog runs and outdoor spaces. It will have various-sized kennels, including overnight boarding in 100 air-conditioned dog suites – most with popular indoor-outdoor runs – and 18 kitty condos and penthouses. The kennels are humidity-controlled with fresh air circulated every 10 minutes and are equipped with webcams for owners to check in on their pets. Bayside Pet Resort also provides fresh linens and soothing music. Bayside Pet Resort also accepts turtles, fish, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, rabbits and hedge hogs. A pot-bellied pig is also a frequent guest. Horses, birds and poisonous animals are not accepted. For more information, visit baysidepetresort.com.
