The Green Bone

The staff here is friendly and professional. I was impressed with the carefully calculated approach to temperament test new pups before attending routine «doggie day care». The report card that my pup came home with after his first day is posted on my fridge. A nice touch!
I live in EaDo and see the staff constantly walking the dogs through the neighborhood. They will also offer to send you pictures of your dog while you’re gone (upon request). I work quite a bit during the week, so I like to make sure my dog gets some good social activity with other dogs. Their day care services are a good way for your dog to get that interaction.
My friend also keeps her dogs here and loves the service. The hours are extremely convenient and I think the pricing seems relatively reasonable.
It’s a big decision to leave your dogs with strangers for the day! I like these guys. They know my dog by name.

The place, they call boarding, my bad for referring to as a vet. I use professionals that provide both services usually. Still the most unprofessional «boarding» facility I have dealt with in this country. From New York to California and in between. My dogs are not pooches and I am not an uneducated woman as implied! Still glad I didn’t take my dogs here. Your comments continue to affirm to me the unprofessional attitude. Keep your pooches here. My canines, dogs, will stay with only professionals!

My 5 month old puppy, Lyla, just had her first day at The Green Bone and we are so glad we found them!!! Emily was very responsive in my original email, and I was excited to see if they would be our new home away from home. When we first arrived for her evaluation, Emily immediately recognized she was a new pup and greeted her by name. She asked me some questions about her and when I went to leave, she let Lyla watch me so she knew I was leaving.
When I went to pick her up, I was immediately handed her tooth she lost so the ~puppy tooth fairy~ could visit! At the other facility she had been to, they hadn’t even told me she had lost any teeth (she had lost at least 4), never mind saved them! I was then handed a fully filled out report card– something the other facility also didn’t offer. I also really loved that she got to play with all of the dogs, not just the ones that are her size. She is a puppy, very playful, and definitely prefers to hang with the big dogs — I’m glad they didn’t limit her to being stuck with all the small breed dogs! Before I left, we went over pricing for her first over night visit so there would be no surprises. Very reasonably priced, clean, and friendly! :)
Lyla can’t wait to be back at The Green Bone — see ya’ll next week! :)

I love this place. The staff is friendly and always welcomes my dog with open arms. No hidden fees. They are very patient with me because I’m a worried dog mom and call every day when I’m out. So glad that we found this place :)

Selfishly almost didn’t want to rate this place because some days they can be at full capacity and then where would I go! LOL
I don’t know what they do in the play area, but my pitmix is happy and sleeps like an angel on the ride home.

We recently left our puppy (5 months) here for 5 days. It was the first time we have boarded our puppy anywhere. From the outset the staff were very attentive and courteous. After the initial evaluation visit we received a ‘report card’ on the pups’ behaviour with the other dogs. Our pup passed with flying colours however it shows that the staff and the establishment take very good precautions with all dogs using the facility. Our pup was also on mild medication at the time of boarding however this proved to be no issue with the staff.
Upon our return and collection our puppy was very happy (as one would expect) and has only shown positive behaviours reinforcing our confidence with the facility. Yes the pup is wiped out but that is to be expected with all the interaction.
We will definitely board our pup here again and I recommend the facility very highly to other dog owners.

Bear has been coming to the Green bone since he was a little pup and we first got him. We are not from Houston and therefore do not have family we can leave our pup with when going out of Town. They accept puppies under 6 months who are not fixed (because obviously puppies need to grow before getting fixed people!) Which was AMAZING for us (Bear was only 4 months at the time) because a few other places do not allow this… no exceptions.
We adopted Bear in October and many boarding places stop accepting new dogs in the Oct/​Nov time frame in preparation for the holidays. Of course Bear is our first dog so we did not know this and were in a panic … such a relief to find out that Greenbone had space and was at LEAST 5 $ cheaper (hey it adds up over a week) than the 3 other places I was considering. They almost always are able to accommodate me last minute (i’m in sales so i’m running out on weekends with little notice) and have a positive attitude when doing so. I feel safe leaving my dog here.
The only downsides of the Greenbone are these:
No large green space for the dogs… Greenbone helps to make up for this by taking the dogs on walks throughout the day… so it still gets the job done!
I will update this to a 5 star review if Green Bone ever gets webcams where I can sign in and check on my dog… yes i’m that kind of dog owner. I’m seeing this offered at more and more places and it would just make me feel better and I wouldn’t have to call and bother the staff so often checking in!

Our 2 frenchies loved the GB! I am a little OCD and this was my 1^st ever boarding experience so I was a bit apprehensive. I am also extremely pleased with how my babies were treated. They are high maintenance with dietary conditions and have daily allergy meds that must be taken. The staff was reliable and our babies had fun and came back to us happy and healthy. I would recommend the GB to anyone!

After only an evaluation visit, I can tell this establishment is phenomenal! I had checked out other doggy daycares, but TGB won me over. My very high energy dog was exhausted when he came home, and having indoor play space means the weather won’t dictate exercise time!
Very friendly staff with professional, clean storefront.

Love this place and am so happy to have finally found somewhere I feel 100% comfortable leaving our bulldog Homer. We’d been to 2 other daycares before the Green Bone and this is the only place where he is pulling us to get inside and start playing. Very nice staff and they genuinely care about the pooches that are in their care. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone– hands down, the best.

If you live in Eado this is the best place to bring your pup for Daycare. My little Yorkie (Zaza) absolutely loves it here. Wonderful staff and I love that they close at 7pm.

As a veterinarian and neurotic dog mom, visiting Houston with my furbaby was made much easier thanks to JP at The Green Bone! My folks were in the middle of moving and last minute I had to put my dog, Mackenzie, in boarding for the weekend.
All I have to say is, JP and Jonathan were fantastic. My dog had such a great time and they even gave me an update of how she was doing during the weekend. As for the facility itself, it is clean, open and big and was very nice! Overall, it was a great experience for myself and even more so for my pup. She seemed to really get along with the employees and other doggies.
Thanks again JP for being so accommodating! Whenever we are back in Houston, I’m definitely bringing Mackenzie again!

I don’t have enough good things to say about this place. Our pup loves it here. He’s learned the name and the drive, and his excitement as he exits the car and sees The Green Bone door is amazing. He comes home content and exhausted, and I know he’s had a wonderful day. The employees here are friendly and accommodating, and they have an awesome selection of food, treats and paraphernalia to keep your pup happy when they come home. For those looking for a trustworthy, friendly and clean doggy daycare and/​or boarding, I can’t recommend The Green Bone enough!

A really great place to bring the pooch! Clean, friendly, near work, affordable, and most of all, my bundle of energy is wiped out after a day with them.
Take note: they will ask your dog to undergo a temperment evaluation before s/​he is allowed to become a regular, and their spots for boarding and doggie day care fill up fast, so get your doggie assessed and put them in these folks’ capable hands!

My puppy looks forward to going here every time! I tell her «green bone» in morning and she wash her tail like crazy! The staff is excellent and very invested in the dogs. I am thrilled to have found this place for daycare and boarding!

My giant rescue Mastiff enjoyed playing here for the first time yesterday! The staff is all super friendly and they only charged me $ 25 to watch my pup all day long!
I can’t say enough about how priceless it is to be able to let your pooch play all day long while you’re working! This way when you pick up your dog Friday at 6pm he/​she is just as exhausted as you are ;)

This is the first time I’ve used doggy day care and I am so glad I found such a wonderful place. The staff is super friendly and supportive. Because my dog can be a bit on the anti social side, I really appreciated their reassurance and written report at the end of his first day. His comfort level around other dogs during walks and at dog parks has greatly improved because of his positive experience at this day care.
I live in the area and see the staff walking different dogs throughout the day. I made a visit to a well know doggy day care in mid town the other day just to see what that was like. Appalled when told that dogs are not walked and that the floor indoors is meant for the dogs to do their business on. Felt like taking them all home that day, poor dogs!
So I encourage you to try this business out and support their presence here in EaDo :)

The Green Bone is an exceptional facility and am beyond thrilled to become a regular customer. Their prices are competitive for the quality, the facilities are clean, and the owners are highly professional.
I boarded my beagle here on rather short notice (four days before a four-​day trip) and found this place by chance (on Unilocal in fact!) Before they agreed to board him, they completed an in-​house day long social evaluation and I received a detailed report about my dogs’ dispositions. I – admittedly – mocked myself for a moment at the thought of dropping my pup off for play therapy, but, ultimately, I am so glad that they do this type of screening.
I was allowed to bring all his home comforts like food, blanket and a bed. I received it all back in good order. My beagle came home happy and healthy as ever.
The pricing scheme is competitive I believe – less expensive than some places, slightly more than others. All-​in-​all a terrific deal for a terrific service.

I was so, SO happy to see a doggie daycare pop up in EaDo. My little girl absolutely loves this place, and I love having a convenient, clean, and safe place to drop her off when I’m in need of some down-​time.
The owners are so sweet and personable and I love that they chose EaDo to start their business. Our neighborhood is in desire need of places like this and the Green Bone fits right into our neighborhood vibe!

Ah shucks! Someone beat me to it… Someone already wrote the 1^st review.
Anyhow, my husband and I have been watching this place and it seems like whenever we wanted to come here it was close. So, I basically asked on Facebook for their hours and made sure that I stopped by here. I stopped by last week and made a order for one of their cakes for my little girl. I love how the Green Bone is close to my house and they sell natural and organic foods for my furkids. I came here last Friday to pick up my little girl’s birthday cake and it was too pretty to eat. Plus, I bought extra treats for my furkids. The owner and staff are very friendly. Great place for all of your furkids needs.
This place is great because they have boarding for all sizes. My hubby and I will definitely be back here.
