At Union Lake Pet Services, we have so many different ways of giving your pets a day to remember. What better way to showcase these amazing services than to give you a first-hand account of them? Follow along with a fun day in the life of Riley to see what Union Lake Pet Services is really all about.

A Day in the Life of Riley: Starting Off Strong

Riley’s day starts nice and early with a leash walk at 7:30 before joining lots of friends for group play at 8:30. Both our daycare and boarding services have options for individualized attention like walks with one of our caring team members, as well as potential for group play. As you can see by Riley’s smile, both options offer plenty of enrichment, attention, and fun for pups of all ages!

A Day in the Life of Riley: Training Time

At 10:30, Riley gets some one-on-one training with one of our amazing trainers. Using positive-based reinforcement training, we teach dogs how to behave, how to perform new tricks, and how to celebrate their accomplishments. On this particular day, Riley works on learning how to shake. There are plenty of treats and cuddles as a reward for a great training session.

A Day in the Life of Riley: Hot Lunch and a Treat

When your pet is staying with us at Union Lake Pet Services at lunchtime, they get served a hot lunch and have the option for additional treats like Kongs full of peanut butter. Riley enjoyed his! Don’t worry, if your pet has a particular diet or you prefer that they don’t have peanut butter, we can make adjustments based on his or her needs.

A Day in the Life of Riley: Individual Playtime

While playing in a group is a great way to socialize, we believe that individual attention is really important for the dogs who come to visit us (whether for the day or for longer periods of time). Check out Riley’s individual play session with one of our expert staff—they both look like they’re having the time of their lives!

A Day in the Life of Riley: Grooming Time

After a full day of running and playing, Riley needs a little bit of grooming. Our professional groomers can bathe pets, cut hair, trim nails, and even clean ears and anal glands. Riley is looking so fresh and clean after the grooming appointment; it might be time for a photo shoot!

A Day in the Life of Riley: Wellness Check

While your dog is staying with us, it can be convenient for you to have us provide a veterinary appointment. Look how calm and happy Riley looks to be visiting with our veterinary staff. After a clean bill of health, it’s on to the next part of Riley’s day!

A Day in the Life of Riley: Treadmill Therapy and Massage

Next up is some underwater treadmill therapy and massage to help Riley get rid of aches and pains and be ready for a full day of playing the next day. We have a full selection of rehabilitation services to help pets in a variety of physical conditions. After a brief consultation, our expert team can determine the right plan for your pet.

A Day in the Life of Riley: Dinner and a Treat

At 6:00 pm, Riley is ready to eat again! We serve dinner with a doggy ice cream treat. Riley is VIP boarding with us, so after dinner, it’s time to relax in our luxury boarding suite with one of our caring attendants and a doggy friend. Phew, even we’re tired after following along on Riley’s fun-filled day. 

What a fun day in the life of Riley here at ULPS! While every day might not look like this, Riley’s adventure is a great glimpse into the daycare, boarding, grooming, veterinary, and rehab services we provide at Union Lake Pet Services. Call (248) 363-6262 to learn more.
