The first opening was so well received that Gallatin Area Chamber of Commerce officials and community members hosted a second ribbon cutting to celebrate the grand opening of the new facility on November 5th.
For nearly 20 years, K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotels has provided luxury dog daycare and boarding services at facilities in more than a dozen states.
Officials said each location is custom designed with hospital-grade ventilation systems and antimicrobial flooring.
Dubbed the “Ritz-Carlton of dog hotels,” guests will enjoy cage-free luxury accommodations with premium Kuranda dog bedding, flat-screen TVs, Italian flooring, chandeliers and more, according to a company press release. The facility can be used.
Gallatin officials said the new business is expected to add about 22 new jobs to the area.
This facility can accommodate 150 dogs for boarding and 125 dogs for daycare.
