Happy Holidays from Jane, Jim and the Boys

Jim, the boys, and I wish we had the time to write a personal note to each of you who have been so supportive of Fenway Bark to say "Thank You" and "Happy Holidays".  We have AMAZING customers and we are so grateful for each and every one of you and your enthusiasm for Fenway Bark.


In nine months our business has grown from a blip on the Boston radar to Sold Out status, the honor of being named one of the top daycare facilities in the United States by Fido Friendly magazine, Pawsitive Dog, arguably the best dog training group in New England, is joining our space to provide more exceptional services to you, and we are now expanding our daycare to accommodate growing demand.  The buzz and growth is due in no small part to your recommendations of our services and we are so thankful for every recommendation we receive.

I also want to use this platform to thank my incredible staff who go above and beyond to take great care of our guests.  We keep Dunkin Donuts and Foodler in business with our long hours and you (and they!) deliver each and every time to provide exceptional care and customer service.  Thank you.

As I frequently share with reporters and customers, owning a small business in not for the faint of heart and having such great customers and pooches is the wind in our sails, even through the roughest (ruff-est?) of times.

Thank you. 

Hugs to you and ear rubs to your pooches.

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!

Warm Regards,

Jane

Zen Massage Therapy Available at Fenway Bark!

ZEN animal massage focuses on preventive care for your dog and cat.

Massage is part of a holistic approach to your pet’s health care. Massage is a gentle and non-invasive therapy that can relieve pain and stress. Whether you have a companion animal, agility dog, show animal, or service dog, massage is a great way to maintain your pet’s health and well-being, along with  regular veterinary visits.

Massage considers the entire animal, as well as the specific area that may be painful.  Massage is a proactive therapy that can address future health issues and specific problems your pet may already have. Animals give us clear feedback when they are being massaged so I tailor the session to fit their needs. Massage is helpful in maintaining the overall health and well-being of your companion animal.

Benefits of  massage on your pet:

•          Reduces anxiety

•          Shortens healing time of strained muscles

•          Aids in digestion

•          Fosters well-being

•          Reduces pain and swelling of joints and muscles

•          Reduces scar tissue, increasing mobility

•          Decreases blood pressure

•          Strengthens the immune system

•          Reduces muscle spasms

•          Helps relieve muscle tension and stiffness

•          Increases range of motion

•          Stimulates liver and kidney functions

•          Improves circulation of blood and movement of lymphatic fluids

•          Promotes deeper and easier breathing

•          Enhances the health and nourishment of the skin and coat

Gift Certificates and Massage Packages for sale at Fenway Bark now.  Please arrange a massage session for your dog through our concierge.  

If you are boarding your dog with us over the holidays, arrange for a special massage treat for your dog while you are away.  Julie can come in and give the massage over the holidays!

Thor Finds His Forever Home Thanks to Great Dog Rescue of New England and Fenway Bark

Congratulations to Thor and his new forever family and home!  Thor found his forever home after being in a shelter for five months in the South and then transported up North through Great Dog Rescue of New England and receiving foster care at Fenway Bark. 

Rescue placement at Fenway Bark:  We are batting 800 for placement within 7 days. 

Annie is up for adoption at Fenway Bark.  Please spread the word about her to see if we can find her forever home before Christmas.  Annie needs is very sweet and affectionate.  She just wants to be loved and is pretty mellow but likes to be the only dog or with a small group of mellow dogs.  Once shown affection, she becomes very attached to the person providing affection and doesn't like to share too much.  To apply to adopt Annie, visit Great Dog Rescue of New England's web page.

Fenway Bark allows you to SKYPE your dog when you are away!

Fenway Bark's luxury boxes are equipped with SKYPE so you can SKYPE your dog 24 hours a day. So many guests have enjoyed staying connected to their pets while they are away.

The BIG Announcement!

Fenway Bark is delighted to announce that The Pawsitive Dog will be moving their unrivaled training services to Fenway Bark starting in January!

Jen Vickery, owner of the Pawsitive Dog, and I feel that the addition of the Pawsitive Dog to the Fenway Bark facility enhances the full range of services that are offered under Fenway Bark's 20,000 square foot ocean view roof!

Jen and her team have trained over 10,000 dog families and have over a 20 year track record of exceptional dog training experience.

Over the coming months we will be making some enhancements to our facility to accommodate the Pawsitive Dog and to expand our daycare space to meet the increasing demand for our services.  We kindly ask you to bear with any small changes we may need to make to accommodate construction.

On January 2 we will be having an open house in conjunction with the Pawsitive Dog and their clients to give you the opportunity to learn about their services and to meet Jen and her team.
