in the area. We cater to dogs while their owners are on vacation.
Our specialty is the comfort and
happiness of every pet that crosses our threshold. Our spacious suites
are comfortable while your pet is in them...and when they are not, they
are enjoying a romp in our huge play yard under the watchful eye of Gina and Patrick Fox.

will no doubt get the style you have always wanted on your pet! Just
ask she will follow your directions to the hair!

My Qualifications
I have been a
professional pet groomer since 1972, my first job as a kid of 15 was
at Shores Kennels, in
Clinton Township, MI. I have operated that all-breed pet resort
since 1986 in March we celebrated 26 years of providing a healthy, safe, clean and fun environment for family pets
to enjoy, while their owners have a relaxing vacation with peace of
mind knowing their pet is enjoying the same. That location is now
under the guidance of another "dog person" and I am in Northern
Michigan full time!
We have brought that same high quality
service and experience to Northern Michigan!
I am a Certified
Pet Care Technician., through the Pet Care Services Association
(formerly the ABKA) and
experienced trainer, breeder and handler of dogs and cats in all stages of
their life, from the newborn to geriatric individuals. We have over 25 AKC Champions to our credit in Conformation, Obedience and Hunt
Tests, Therapy Dogs and Search & Rescue.
We know from experience what works
and what it takes to keep pets happy and comfortable in their
temporary "home away from home". Pet accommodations and all-breed
grooming services are our core competency. We do not dabble in
retail, health services or other side businesses. Our focus is on
the safety, comfort and entertainment of our guests and peace of mind
for their owners while they are on vacation. Meadowpond is a twist
on a traditional kennel.
