Your Open House!

As valued members of our The Grinning Dog family, we're excited to extend a special invitation to you for our upcoming Open House events. This event is just for you - our existing clients!

Mark your calendars for Saturday October 19 & Sunday October 20, 2024, as we'll be opening our doors to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our unique facility, including our outdoor play yards, cozy boarding accommodations, and our sprawling 20-acre nature park.

During the Open House, you'll have the opportunity to:
  • Explore our facility and see where the magic happens
  • Wander the NaturePark
  • Get to know our dedicated team of pet care professionals
  • Learn more about what a day at The Grinning Dog looks like
  • Enjoy refreshments and mingle with fellow pet parents

Can I bring my dog?
Please note that, in the interest of safety, this is a humans-only event. While we love having our canine guests with us during their daycare or boarding stays, we understand that they may not always show the same enthusiasm when it comes to sharing their owners with each other. Therefore, we kindly ask that you leave your furry friends at home for this particular event.

Kids welcome?
Children are welcome, but do be aware that we will have some dogs staying with us who aren’t comfortable with kids, so please be sure to keep little hands out of the kennels.

What to Wear?
We will be outdoors most of the time, so dress accordingly! Expect some mud, some bugs and lots of uneven ground.

RSVP, Please
To ensure the best experience for all attendees, we kindly ask that you RSVP for your preferred time slot using the RSVP HERE button below.
If you find that all your preferred times are already booked, please don't hesitate to reach out to me, Alison, personally at 413 348-6688. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and find a way to fit you in.

We can't wait to welcome you to our Open House events and give you a glimpse into what makes The Grinning Dog such a special place.
See you there!

 Just as a reminder - because we generally take clients by referral only, we have limited signage on the street. Coming about a 1/2 mile  down from RT. 66, we are on the left. We have two driveways - one of them is the wrong one! We have a black, numbered mailbox on a stone pillar at the base of our private family driveway (the wrong one) and about 100 yards further south you'll see a small sign that says Paradox on one tree and another that say The Grinning Dog at the base of the public kennel driveway (the right one!). You won’t see the place from the road. Call 413 348-6688 if you get lost.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Alison and her staff provided exceptional care to not only my dog but also to me..." A. B.

"
The best. Alison and her staff are terrific. My dog, Rem, hadn't spent any time boarded before we got here and he loved it there. I don't know how the dogs are all so calm, but they are. I'm lucky this is near by me. " Betsy N.

"
We miss him, but we never worry about him when he's there. Wonderfully competent crew. Beautiful surroundings." Bruce K.
