PAWS Bed and Biscuit

I am lucky to have such a great place close to home to bring my sweet dog! It is very clean and well organized, and I appreciate their knowledge of dog behavior. It is a nice woodsy location and I am very happy that the play area is well supervised. Everything is geared to make the dog’s time there enjoyable and provide lots of exercise and play time.
I know my pooch is safe there, and well-​cared for at both day care and the occasional overnight stay.

Daisy, my 5 year old golden retriever, has been going to Paws since I adopted her in 2009. It is her only chance to run off leash and play with other dogs and she loves it. I can tell because her tail starts wagging and her ears perk up when I pull in the driveway. Daniel and Paul are great with our furry friends. I like seeing the videos and pics of the dogs playing on their Facebook page.
I have read a couple of negative reviews and believe that misunderstandings sometimes occur. It is unfortunate that they did not work out a mutually agreed upon solution to the issue before brandishing off a harsh review. All I can say is that other dog owners that I have talked to while picking up or dropping off their four legged family member had nothing but good things to say about Paws. I have recommended and will continue to recommend this facility to other dog owners in my town.

Daniel and Marianne are the absolute BEST! My old lab, Bruce spent 10 long days with them. When we picked him up — it was quite obvious that he was extremely well taken care of. He did not re-​act to us like he has in the past, when we have taken him to other places. I know he is tired, and he must have had a wonderful time. He ate all of his two meals a day, which he normally would skip a meal. I highly recommend this Bed and Bisquit to anyone who needs a place a great place for their dog. I know that we will be using them for any future overnights that are necessary! Thank you again Daniel and Marianne for taking care of my Big Baby Boy!

Our dogs Jacobi and Mesa love PAWS! And so do we! Daniel and Marianne put our hearts at ease when we have to go out of town and we can not take our guys with us.
On their past stay, we had to book on short notice for the weekend. Daniel and Marianne gladly took Jacobi and Mesa and they had the best weekend. They both came back beyond exhausted.
I am normally hesitant to put my dogs up at a boarding place for the weekend but i do not hesitate to send them to PAWS. I know they will get the attention and care that they need.

I did a lot of research before selecting a home away from home for our little one. After reading reviews and soliciting feedback from friends, PAWS did come up a few times.
We have been taking our little Havanese Bingley to PAWS since he was 3 months old. Daniel, Marianne and their team have always done a phenomenal job caring for him. He’s a little pup weighing in at under 10 lbs. They always make sure that he’s with like sized friends during play group time. We have had him visit just for the day to get some energy out, and had him stay with them for over a week on more than a few occasions.
Bingley can be a little timid and would have no hesitation to bark if he felt uneasy. It’s a classic contradiction every time we approach; first he’s sad because he knows he may not see us for a bit. Then as soon as we get in the office, he’s wagging his tail. When we go to pick him up, he darts all over the office because he’s excited to be reunited with us, then he whines on the way home because he misses his furry friends. Usually however, within minutes he’s asleep!
From all perspectives, they take health very seriously. They follow up after every visit with a note asking how Bingley is doing. They are also judicious with making sure that all guests are up to date on their required vaccinations. Personally, I’m glad they do this because I know my dog is in good company.
To sum it up, PAWS is run with the operational integrity of a 5 star resort, with the personal touch of a New England Bed & Biscuit. Our family would highly recommend them to anyone.

I don’t like to leave bad reviews, but after the events of the last few days, I feel this one is necessary. We chose to board our two dogs at PAWS Bed & Biscuit after learning that our normal kennel was already full over the Fourth of July week/​weekend. The place looked nice and the people were friendly enough when I dropped off our dogs. We then headed out of state to spend the long weekend with family that we only get to see about once per year. To our surprise, a few days into our trip we received a phone call at 6:30am (7:30am Eastern time) letting us know that our dogs were «very sick» and we needed to get in contact with the kennel ASAP. I immediately returned the phone call and was told that both of our dogs had contracted an upper respiratory infection of some kind (severe coughing, etc.) and that someone would need to come pick them both up as an outbreak like this could be «devastating to a small business» like their own (he repeated this phrase to me several times — showing much more concern for his business than for our «very sick» dogs). Since we are fairly new to the area, we did not have anyone that we knew that would be able to go pick up our dogs. Out of concern for the health of our dogs, we promptly called the airline and chalked up $ 350 to change our flight home to that very day. We also then were forced to waste $ 100 on a non-​refundable hotel reservation. After several hours at the airport, on the plane, an hour drive to the kennel and much stress worrying about our pups, we finally arrived to the kennel at 9:00pm. It was only then that we were made aware that what started this whole thing was that one of the dogs had thrown up (he couldn’t remember which one); which, as far as I’m concerned, is not anything too out of the ordinary for a dog, especially when he is out of his normal elements and doing a lot of playing/​romping around with other dogs. In the end, we wasted a lot of time, money and stress over some «very sick dogs» that are in perfectly good health. We have been home now for over a day and we’ve yet to see any symptoms or signs that would indicate that our dogs are ill in any way. They are both acting completely normal, wagging their tails, haven’t coughed once, and eating and drinking as normal. Most of all, due to the kennel over-​reacting and their being ill-​prepared for an event such as this, we lost out on precious time with family that we only get to see about once a year. I won’t tell you not to board your dog here, but I will tell you that I definitely do not recommend this kennel. Despite having what appears to be a nice facility (although I never heard a dog bark either time we were there, which I find odd), I question their ability to properly handle situations that should be fairly routine for a dog kennel. We will certainly NOT be back.

Our dogs Grace & Arthur spent the week at the Bed & Biscuit, and although they missed home… I can tell they had a great time! Grace even received a complimentary bath… thank you!
Grace is a rescue and can be very timid, so I worry about her being «stressed» in an enclosed space.
Arthur is also a rescue, but considering the amount of neglect he endured, I worry about him getting along with others… two completely different dog temperaments.
I must say that I was and am still very impressed at how well adjusted my two very special dogs have behaved in the care of Dan and Marianne. Thank you for taking such great care of these guys for us. We will be repeat customers for sure!
Thanks again!

Daniel and Marianne Antonellis are two of the most wonderful caring people. Each time we bring our Golden Retriever over, she is so very excited to spend the day there. They love, love, love dogs, and it is very evident that they take care of each dog as if they were their own. They are able to establish safe boundaries, but still allow for the dogs to play with them, and with each other in a manner that socializes and most importantly– tires them out! We have seen a significant difference in our dog’s play time with us and with other dogs.
We are so thankful that we found Daniel and Marianne with PAWS. Bring your dogs– you won’t be disappointed!
