Canine Retreat

If dog kennels were hotels, then D.O.G. Miami would be The Ritz-Carlton…but not priced like the Ritz.

This doggie daycare and overnight center offers some truly plush digs for your pet in a super-clean facility. Think indoor, climate-controlled play areas (separated by size so smaller dogs don’t get overwhelmed) and fabulous overnight accommodations. D.O.G. also offers a wide range of additional services, from grooming and agility training to puppy yoga; 2214 N. Miami Ave.; 786.391.0839, DOGMiami.com.

Best of all, a portion of the proceeds are donated to various shelters and rescue organizations throughout the nation; $15.95; LaughingMyTailOff.com.
