We are located on Route 7 between Dexter and Corinna. If you are coming from the Moosehead Region you will see us on your right. If you are coming from Newport/Corinna you will see our building on the left. There is a sign!

When you enter our driveway the kennel is on your left with the OPEN flag. The building on the right is a private residence. We have a ring doorbell on the kennel door.

Walk-in services for nail trims are welcome, however please call to schedule any other grooming services.

Walk-in nail trims will incur a $3 fee. To avoid this fee, please call to schedule an appointment.

For boarding, pick up and drop off is welcome anytime during business hours. It is always best to reserve your pets stay ahead of time in order to ensure we have vacancy.

Check out is before 12pm-noon on your last day (unless it is Sunday), if checking out in the afternoon you will be charged for that day.

We accept cats and dogs for both grooming and boarding.

All pets receiving services at The Pet Motel are required to be vaccinated for Rabies. Dogs are also required to be vaccinated for Distemper/Parvo (DAP) and Kennel Cough (Bordetella). Cats are also required to be vaccinated for Feline Distemper (FVRCP)

Flea and tick prevention is strongly recommended for all pets. If fleas are found on your pet we will ask that you bring them back once they have been treated. We also strongly recommend having your pet on monthly heartworm/parasite protection from your vet such as Interceptor Plus.

We recommend that you bring your pets regular food, enough for their entire stay. Pets can sometimes be stressed when being boarded and this stress coupled with a drastic diet change can cause serious GI upset for some dogs and cats.

We now offer cots and blankets for our guests! These are available for an additional $1/night. You are welcome to bring your pet's own bedding from home at no additional cost. Cots are subject to availability and size restrictions.

Dogs are allowed 24/7 access to their indoor/outdoor runs. We also offer enrichment toys, kongs, chews, etc.

This spring we plan to install a large fenced in yard behind the kennel to offer improved exercise plans for our canine guests. We can’t wait to offer this improved service! In the meantime if you wish to have a special exercise plan for your pet please let us know, and we can do our best to accommodate your request.

We are new to grooming and therefore keep our costs very low compared to other more experienced groomers in the area. We can offer an affordable option for owners who want a clean, healthy, low maintenance coat for their dog or cat.

​

We use Bark2Basics Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner for most pets. We also have in house “The Coat Handler” Undercoat Control Deshedding Shampoo and Conditioner for our double-coated friends.

We condition every pet we groom. This is essential for maintaining a healthy coat and skin. Every groom is also treated to a Bark2Basics blueberry scented “Face Furst” facial shampoo. Even our furry friends like to feel pampered!

​

A full grooming service can take anywhere from 45-90 minutes depending on the size of the pet and coat type. Grooming clients are usually asked to drop off at 8am and pick up early in the afternoon.

At this time we only have one person who is providing grooming services.

Our Bark2Basics Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner is appropriate for all skin types. If your pet is having a particularly bad flare up we will ask that you seek veterinary care. If you have been prescribed a medicated shampoo by your veterinarian we will be more than happy to use that product on your pet.

Yes we do! We have a 50” stainless steel adjustable height bathing tub with stairs. If your pet can fit in the tub we can get them groomed!

If canceling within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment you will be asked to pay a deposit to book another appointment at the discretion of The Pet Motel.

Cash or checks only at this time.
