With the 2024 River Season just ahead, please take a moment to notice our Daycare, Season Pass, and Weekend Boarding Rates have gone up a smidge but no longer have a processing fee so the amount you see is what you pay! We have continually been updating our facility over the years and with those improvements this year we added a LARGE Water Feature! A 3 inch pump moves water from the reservoir, out a fire hydrant, under a shaded 25×35 structure into a lined Pond with Astroturf, measuring roughly 180 square feet and no more then 14 inches deep. From there it flows through a fence into the *Friendly Dog Yard and into a series of 5 pools and ponds no more then a foot deep. All Dogs in our care will get to experience the Pond or the Friendly Yard water Feature during their stay! As of March 2024,we will be implementing the new prices. Thank you supporting Ocoee Dogs and all of our Families.

We love sharing stories of your furry friends on Facebook and Instagram! However, please note that we cannot make reservations through social media; all reservation requests must come from the link above or by phone during business hours.  Thank you for understanding.

With the new dog virus that we don’t know much about, please be sure to take steps to ensure that your dogs are not drinking water from public dog parks or public spaces. Bordetella vaccinated dogs can still carry the virus and get sick.  The virus is dormant for up to a week before symptoms show making it possible to transmit quickly to any facility you visit. Do your part and Protect your pet from exposer and all Facilities that you visit!   We use atomized backpack sprayers and mop every kennel multiple times a day to ensure we are doing our best to prevent any spread , but a dog carrying the virus unbeknown to us in any yard can quickly cause a spread. Help us Prevent Bordetella.

About Ocoee Dogs

We are a locally owned and operated, free dog play and boarding facility near the Cherokee National Forest. We offer daycare to those going on the Ocoee & Hiwassee River for rafting and kayaking. 

Our spacious outdoor yards are perfect for anyone needing long term or short term boarding in the Chattanooga, Cleveland, Tellico and Ocoee area.  

Whether you’re on the Ocoee River for an evening or rafting the Grand Canyon for a month, bring your furry friend to us and we will keep them stimulated and free of boredom in our clean and safe environment! We only have 16 overnight kennels so you can be sure that your dog will get plenty of one-on-one attention from our staff and won’t be overwhelmed at night.

We have 4 large outdoor sections, and 3 slightly smaller sections on over 2 acres for dogs of all temperaments to play.  If your dog doesn’t like to socialize with others, you can leave knowing they can be separated and will be getting to roam free and safe. The yards have shade, fans, and pools for hot summer days!

WE  HAVE A PUBLIC DOG PARK FOR YOU TO USE AFTER A LONG CAR RIDE!!

We ask that you please use the dog park after long car rides to relieve your pet before coming into the lobby. This helps cut down on lobby messes and reduce excessive energy, which can help us place your dog safely in the correct play group. Thank you for your help!

If your dog is new to the daycare or doesn’t usually go hiking on rough terrain, please let our staff know to give them extra breaks and inside time. Our playful pups can spend anywhere from 4 to 10 hours playing outside on all kinds of terrain. Not sure what we mean by hiking rough terrain? Check out our photos and our Instagram!

We reserve the right to not accept unscheduled daycare dogs on busy days so please schedule ahead.

Our first priority is to keep your dog and other dogs safe, it is not our responsibility to socialize or train your dog for group play. 

Things Your Dog Can Be Separated For

*Excessive Mounting

*Harassment of other dogs

*Aggression of any kind including fear-based, possession, and dominance.

*Body checking  or any activity that could injure themselves or others.

*Destruction of property or fence could result in them being put into a more secure yard or kennel for the safety of themselves and the others around them.

We reserve any right to turn away dogs we find to be aggressive with staff or other dogs. 

 

 

 

We have 16 Overnight Kennels to reduce stress on the dogs and ensure they get the best care possible. Book ahead of time, we do run out of space!
