Driftwood Pet Resort and Spaw began as Driftwood Kennels in 2004. Since then, we’ve made significant improvements across our campus to better serve you and your pets—including the addition of our convenient Dog Prairie Private Dog Park.

Built on the values of faith, family, and the golden rule, our mission is to provide compassionate care delivered with exceptional convenience. From prompt, attentive service to creating experiences that leave both clients and pets delighted, we are committed to exceeding expectations. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

Overall, boarding your dog and cat at Driftwood can provide numerous benefits to both you and your pets. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands, while your pets get the care, attention, and socialization they need to stay happy and healthy.
Requirements for all services

For resort services including boarding, grooming, daycare, or training.hang a right and head over to the park in front of the PET RESORT and SPAW, which is the original building!

Come on in right inside our lobby we are happy to help with any belongings. If the cones are up head into our open drive-thru on the pet resort side.

Dogs visiting the facility must be current on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines AND have a NEGATIVE parasite stool screening within the last 6 months.

Cats must be current on rabies, and distemper, be free of FeLV, FIP, and FIV, AND have a NEGATIVE parasite stool screening within the last 6 months.

If your pet needs boosters or stool screenings, we are happy to provide this service during your pet’s stay. For your convenience, we can also do veterinary exams and heartworm checks, as well.

Vaccine requirements for all services
Which vaccinations are required to board my pet at DRIFTWOOD VET?
Dogs visiting the facility must be current on rabies, distemper/parvo, and canine upper respiratory vaccine (kennel cough) vaccines. Cats must be current on rabies and distemper vaccines, and be free of FeLV, FIP, and FIV (give us a call if this is an issue). When you visit us with your pet make sure to bring your vaccination records if they are from another veterinarian - if there are any vaccines that are out of date or missing we are happy to have them done while your pet stays with us at Driftwood PET RESORT and SPAW, but if we are not able to find a record of vaccines we will need to update them in order to have them board with us. If your pet has had a previous vaccine reaction, please let us know so that we may update their profiles and keep all of our four-legged friends healthy and happy!
Why do you require a NEGATIVE parasite stool screening within 6 months of boarding my pet?

Nobody likes a parasite! Transmission is largely through the poo - and while we run a pretty clean ship here, poo happens. A parasite-free stool sample every 6 months is the GOLD STANDARD for maintaining health and well-being per the recommendation of the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC). For the safety of our guests and Pet Resort and SPAW team members, it is critically important that everyone is parasite-free - so we can focus on the fun things... like Pupdates and Cat Chat posts!
