Our Story

• We employ a professional and knowledgeable staff. We seek out people with Animal Behavior degrees or Veterinary Technician certificates.
• Dogs like structure. We offer a structured environment for them. We keep their play and sleeping areas separate, unlike daycare operations that allow animals to run freely all the time and to sleep on the furniture. (We don’t want them to learn bad behaviors at Stone Mountain and try them at home!)
• Grooming and bathing services are available on site. We hope this is a great convenience to people working in the area.
• Each pet receives individual attention and care.
• The on-site manager lives in an apartment located on site and is available to secure the building and handle any emergencies.
• Suites will be hosed down and mopped. Pets will always be kept dry during our cleaning process.
• Our facility is completely air conditioned, heated and properly ventilated to keep pets comfortable in any season.
• All areas well maintainied and kept free of waste and other litter. Waste is removed immediately to maintain an attractive appearance and smell.

Our goal is to have a spotless, nice-smelling facility where pet owners can feel comfortable leaving their pets. People can tour our facility anytime – it will always be in “showable” condition. No appointment necessary. Enjoy a tour with your dog. Experience our site from their perspective.

We employ a full-time staff of pet technicians to keep the cat condos, dog suites, and other areas clean. Suites and condos are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized daily and spot cleaned throughout the day. In addition, canine and feline areas will be separate and will have their own air filtration systems.

• Each pet is checked for injuries, ticks, and fleas. We have a thorough check-in and check-out process for our pet guests.
• All pets must have verification of up-to-date vaccinations. We work closely with our guests’ veterinarians to make sure vaccinations are current. We do not accept pets without up-to-date immunizations.
• Doggy Day Care is always supervised.
• Only one dog will be housed in each suite, unless an owner requests that two dogs from the same home be housed together. Only predefined suite styles are used for family pets.
• Staff participate in ongoing training so they are prepared to respond to emergencies.
• We do not offer on-site veterinary care, but we foster good relationships with local veterinarians and emergency services. In fact, veterinarians send us some of our best referral business!

Although Stone Mountain Pet Lodge is not open 24 hours a day, there will be someone on the premises at all times. The on-site manager lives in an apartment at Stone Mountain and will be available to secure the building and handle any emergencies.
