The Ark is fantastic! I have used the Ark for all three services (day care, boarding, and grooming) for over 10 years and I am always extremely pleased with the quality of care my fur babies receive.

Fred - Chattanooga, TN

Staff has always been extremely friendly and helpful. Very responsive to requested changes. Dogs appear to really like their visits. They get excited when arriving for boarding.

Clyde - Madison, AL

The staff is so caring & loving, the facility is clean and comfortable. No more days locked in a kennel with little to no "free" time. Taz loves the Doggy Day Care. We travel and sometimes cant take Taz. Boarding is just a long doggy day care day and he is lovingly cared for. LOVE LOVE LOVE everything!

Nestled along the Tennessee River, this park provides a picturesque backdrop for a day of fun. With grassy fields, walking trails, and even a water feature, Renaissance Park is sure to make tails wag with joy.

Divided into separate play areas for small and large dogs, this park ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for all furry visitors. The agility equipment adds an extra element of excitement, making it an ideal spot for both socializing and playing. It's also right next door to our friends, Slobberbones Pet Bakery & Bath. Stop in for a gourmet dog cookie or a luxurious DIY pet bath! Coolidge Park: As we wrap up our tour of Chattanooga's best dog parks, we couldn't forget the iconic Coolidge Park.

As the vibrant hues of spring emerge, so does shedding season for our furry friends. Managing your pet's shedding can be a challenging task, but fear not – The Ark Pet Spa is here to guide you through the art of grooming and offer tips to keep your pet's coat looking fabulous this spring. Plus, we'll introduce you to some fantastic products from Slobberbones Pet Store that can make the process a breeze. Regular Brushing is Key: Spring brings about a renewed growth cycle for your pet's coat, and with it comes shedding. Regular brushing is your secret weapon against those pesky loose hairs. At The Ark Pet Spa, our experienced groomers recommend investing in a high-quality brush suited to your pet's coat type. For dogs with longer hair, a slicker brush works wonders, while a deshedding tool is perfect for short-haired breeds. Bath Time Magic: A good bath not only keeps your pet smelling fresh but also helps to remove loose hairs. Opt for a quality pet shampoo that suits your pet's skin type and coat condition. The Ark Pet Spa offers a range of gentle, nourishing shampoos that leave your pet's coat lustrous and clean. Nutrition Matters: The health of your pet's coat is closely tied to their diet. Ensure they are getting the right balance of nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, which promote a healthy coat and skin. Slobberbones Pet Store offers a variety of supplements and treats rich in essential nutrients to support your pet's overall well-being. The Power of Professional Grooming: Sometimes, a professional touch is just what your pet needs. The Ark Pet Spa's skilled groomers are trained to handle shedding with care and precision. Our grooming sessions include specialized treatments to reduce shedding and leave your pet looking and feeling their best. Slobberbones Pet Store Picks: Make grooming time enjoyable for your pet with some delightful products from Slobberbones Pet Store. Consider the Slobberbones Detangling Spray to make brushing a breeze or the Shed Control Formula for a supplement that promotes a healthy coat from the inside out.  Spring shedding doesn't have to be a hair-raising experience. With the right grooming routine and the assistance of The Ark Pet Spa's expert team, your pet can breeze through shedding season looking fabulous. Explore the curated selection of grooming products at Slobberbones Pet Store to add an extra layer of care to your pet's grooming routine. Here's to a shed-free and stylish spring for your furry companions!
