Paws 'n Claws in Erie, PA is the premier pet lodging and pet styling facility in Erie, PA and the surrounding areas. The Erie location is a 7,500 square foot, state-of-the-art "pet palace" designed to surround your pets in comfort. When lodging your pets, our first consideration is the comfort, safety and security of your pets.
Dog condo sizes at our Erie pet lodging location are 3 x 6 feet and 4 x 6 feet. Condo sizes are assigned based on the dog's size and/or number of dogs sharing the same condo (only allowed if the dogs are all from the same household). Our condos in Erie are all-inclusive, boutique-style pet lodging and include one raised Kuranda bed (pictured immediately below) and a soft fleece blanket for the dog's comfort. There is a 1-day (24-hour) minimum charge for pet lodging overnight. After the first 24 hours, we charge by the hour ($1.67/hr/dog). Prices are subject to change.
Let us watch your pet for you while you are away on vacation or business. Your pet will be happy in our private, spacious condos. They will be fed according to your instructions and get plenty of cold, clean water to drink. You can bring toys from home so they are surrounded with familiar items. They will each be allowed private time outside of their pet logding condo (for potty breaks) so that they won't be bothered by other dog guests while doing what comes natural. We even have televisions mounted in the lodging area so that it is never too quiet.
Dogs can run and romp in our secure exercise yard, and maybe even join a play group in our Indoor Play Yard (if already a member of our play groups). During your pet's stay is a great time for them to receive a full-service pet styling or bath by our professional pet stylists. Think of Paws 'n Claws as a "Bed and Breakfast" for your pets. It doesn't matter if they stay for the day, overnight or longer, your pets will get lots of individual attention! We are centrally located, right in the middle of the city of Erie - only minutes from I-79.

What Makes Paws 'n Claws Unique?
Paws 'n Claws is a state-of-the-art pet lodging and pet styling facility. What makes our business unique is two-fold. First, we all love animals. We like caring for them, feeding them, cleaning them and playing with them. It is what we do best. Second, our buildings are the newest and most modern pet boarding facilities in the tri-state area. Your pets will be surrounded in comfort.
Each pet lodging condo is private. The air is electronically cleaned with no drafts. The whole building is conditioned and humidity controlled. We have televisions inside so that it is never "too quiet", as silence will raise the stress level in dogs. There is also a 2,300 square foot Indoor Play Yard for your dogs to romp and play in (if already a part of our play groups). If not approved for PlayCare, your dog will be allowed to stretch and move around with our attendants in our seperate Indoor Exercise Yard.
Please feel free to call as often as you would like to check on your pets during regular business hours.
