FAQ – Coddled Critters Dog Boarding

At Coddled Critters Dog Boarding in North Salt Lake, Utah, we understand that leaving your dog overnight can come with a lot of questions. From safety and daily routines to options for social or more independent dogs, our goal is to provide clear answers so you feel confident in your choice. Whether your dog thrives in group play or needs a quieter, enrichment-based experience, we offer personalized boarding designed to keep every dog comfortable, engaged, and well cared for.

Is dog boarding stressful for dogs?

Dog boarding can be stressful for some dogs, especially if they’re in a new environment or not used to being away from home. However, at Coddled Critters, we reduce stress by providing a structured routine, familiar feeding schedules, and personalized care based on each dog’s needs.

Dogs in our care receive daily interaction, enrichment activities, and either social play or one-on-one attention depending on their temperament. For dogs who don’t enjoy group settings, our enrichment boarding option offers a calm, low-stress environment with focused human interaction.

Most dogs adjust quickly and benefit from the mental stimulation, routine, and attention they receive during their stay.

What is the difference between your dog boarding options?

At Coddled Critters Dog Boarding in North Salt Lake, we offer three main boarding styles to fit your dog’s needs:

  • Play & Stay Boarding – for social dogs who enjoy all-day supervised group play

  • Enrichment Boarding – for dogs who prefer one-on-one attention and mental stimulation

  • Premier Boarding – for dogs who benefit from a quieter, more personalized experience with private suites and additional care

This allows us to match your dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort preferences—not force a one-size-fits-all approach.

Do you offer dog boarding for anxious or non-social dogs?

Yes—this is one of our specialties. Our enrichment boarding program is designed specifically for dogs who are shy, anxious, or don’t enjoy group play. These dogs receive multiple one-on-one sessions daily, mental stimulation activities, and a calm environment without the stress of social interaction.

What is included in dog boarding at Coddled Critters?

Dog boarding includes:

  • Private, comfortable sleeping suites

  • Daily playtime or enrichment sessions based on your dog’s needs

  • Multiple one-on-one interactions with staff

  • Structured rest periods to prevent overstimulation

  • Outdoor play areas for exercise and fresh air

  • Daily updates so you know how your dog is doing

Our goal is to provide a safe, engaging, and low-stress experience for every dog.


How do you keep dogs safe during boarding?

Safety is our top priority. Dogs are carefully evaluated before participating in group play, and playgroups are matched by size, temperament, and play style. All dogs are supervised by trained staff, and we adjust each dog’s schedule to prevent stress or overstimulation.

Can my dog attend daycare while boarding?

Yes—most boarding dogs participate in either our daycare program or enrichment daycare during the day. This keeps them active, mentally engaged, and on a consistent routine while staying with us.

What should I bring for my dog’s boarding stay?

We recommend bringing your dog’s regular food to keep their routine consistent. You’re also welcome to bring a favorite blanket or toy for comfort. We provide everything else needed for a safe and comfortable stay.

What vaccinations are required for dog boarding?

We require up-to-date rabies, distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations for all boarding dogs. We also recommend flea and tick prevention to help maintain a healthy, safe, and comfortable environment for all guests during their stay.

Love Coddled Critters and so does my dog Sonny! He gets so excited to “go see his friends” he’ll whine and whine until they let him back! We have been going here for 5+ years and have found our forever home. Reasonable prices and very communicative staff! We almost always end our stay with a bath and they’re the only ones that Sonny will let trim his nails. I could go on and on about how much I love and appreciate these guys!!

We have loved Coddled Critters, and so does our dog! He is an anxious little thing, and the last few vacation drop-offs we have done, he literally runs to these people! Our whole family loves the every other day report cards we get sent via text, which includes a picture. The facility is clean, the groomer does an awesome job (love that our pup can get a bath and/or a groom before pick up) and our dog always comes home happy.

I am so happy with the care my pups are getting from Coddled Critters it means a whole lot since I spoil my pups. My Mia wants to go to daycare and play with lots of friends Ms. Social butterfly. Blue gets anxious around groups but they have an area for him and they will take Mia over to visit with him. I'm feeling so excited to be able to take vacation and know my pups are well taken care of and loved.

Benjamin at Coddled Critters went above and beyond, and I can't recommend him enough. He stayed late so I could pick up my dog after work, which saved me from having to board him overnight. That level of flexibility and customer service meant a lot. When I arrived, Benjamin took the time to give me a detailed update on my dog's entire day, what he did, how he behaved, and how he interacted with the other dogs. It was clear he had been paying close attention and genuinely cared about my dog's well-being. On top of that, Benjamin was incredibly friendly, kind, and professional. You can tell he truly enjoys working with animals and wants both the pets and their owners to have a great experience. Knowing my dog was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. Thank you, Benjamin, for going the extra mile. I'll definitely be bringing my dog back to Coddled Critters!

We have been boarding our Boxer with Coddled Critters for many years (as well as taking advantage of doggy day care). Time periods range from a few days to 2+ weeks. Without exception our dog is happy to see his handlers upon arrival and has a big smile on his face when I pick him up. Should there be any questions or concerns, they do not hesitate to reach out. There is no doubt he gets lots of attention and is well cared for. And we have total peace of mind. Not sure it could get any better than that.
