Boarding in Girard, PA | Paws 'n Claws

Paws 'n Claws Pet Resort - located in Girard, PA -  is the premier pet boarding and grooming facility in the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York). The Girard Location is a 5,000 square foot state-of-the-art "pet palace" designed to surround your pets in comfort. Our first consideration is the comfort, safety and security of your pet.

Let us watch your pet for you while you are away on vacation or business. Your pet will be very 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. At Paws 'n Claws Pet Resort, pets can comfortably lounge on the heatled sealded porcelain tile floor or relax in the airconditioning during summertime. We also have high-quality stereos and televisions piped inside and outside of the facility. They can run and romp in our secure play yard and maybe even join a play group if they qualify. This is also a good time to get a beautiful full service grooming or bathing in the parlor by our professional stylists.

What Makes Us Unique?

Paws 'n Claws Pet Resort is a state-of-the-art pet boarding and grooming 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 facilities in the tri-state area. Your pets will be surrounded in comfort.

Each pet condo is private. For our Girard visitors - we offer a private outdoor patio. The air is electronically cleaned with no drafts. The whole building is air conditioned and humidity controlled. We have televisions and stereos throughout the facility so that it is never "too quiet", as silence will raise the stress level in dogs. Our Girard Location includes a 3,000 square foot Play Yard for your dogs to romp and play in.

Paws ‘n Claws Pet Resort in Girard has been the premier pet boarding and grooming establishment in Erie County for the last 11 years. It doesn't matter if they spend the day at our full service pet grooming and bathing spa, overnight, or longer - they get indiviualized attention, including a biscuit at bedtime.
