A Premier Pet Resort & Canine Training Center

Situated in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, our boarding facility has been named “Best Boarding Facility in the Shenandoah Valley” in “Virginia Living Magazine” two years in a row. Guests at our  8 1/2-acre facility receive one-on-one attention and have plenty of room to play!

About Tammy

Tammy brings a unique set of skills with her, and they make her especially suited to manage the care and well being of pets while at Creature Comfort Inn. A lifelong animal lover, she assisted a veterinarian while studying to become a veterinary technician. She is experienced working with and caring for exotic animals, such as reptiles and birds and has provided a foster home for dogs and large birds as well as emergency care for large animals, such as horses, cows and sheep.

Tammy and her husband are both certified Emergency Medical Technicians, volunteering with the Fortsmouth Volunteer Fire Department since 1998. As well, Tammy volunteers with the Virginia German Shepherd Rescue group, which is where she found her shepherd, Naiah. Tammy and her family have another dog named Zoe, a miniature Australian Shepherd, and one cat.

Tammy continues her studies in animal care on-line and holds a certificate in animal care as well as a certification in Pet First Aid and CPR through the American Red Cross.

Boarding Philosophy 

The philosophy at the Creature Comfort Inn is simple: To provide a comfortable and safe environment for pets while away from home.

While there is no place like home, Creature Comfort Inn comes pretty close. Every boarding dog gets to be outside three to four times a day, either for a romp in one of the exercise areas or a walk with one of the staff. Many kennels feel they should charge extra to walk a dog; at Creature Comfort Inn, it’s the standard of care!

Dog Training

Creature Comfort Inn’s other specialty is dog training and owner education. Since 1974, the business has established and directed training programs for the Montgomery County Maryland Humane Society, working with clients and their pets in the home and in the kennel. At Creature Comfort Inn, hundreds of dog-handler teams have been trained for AKC obedience titles, agility, search and rescue, tracking, personal protection and Schutzhund competition.

Twigo – a great IDea

A Twigo Pet ID Tag is one of the simplest tags on the market. It’s perfect to provide for every pet at the time of adoption or after a veterinarian visit. Twigo tags require no engraving and are instantly personalize-able with a ballpoint pen – simply write, boil and wear. The tags self-attach and are completely silent, ideal for those who dislike the jingling noise; hence no longer needing to remove their pet’s tags while inside the house.

Twigo Pet ID tags are available in four fun styles and three colors each. All tags are vibrant, unique, and very convenient for pet parents to use. They are:

• SIMPLE + DURABLE: The easiest, quietest and friskiest
• SILENT: No jangling, jingling or clanking
• EASY TO PERSONALIZE: Simply write, boil and wear
• EASY TO ATTACH: A paw-proof slip-loop attaches to any collar
• EASY to clean and lightweight

Our mission is to help ensure all pets wear an ID tag all the time. Pet identification is the BEST PREVENTION

A Better Way to a Better Dog

Bark Busters founders, Sylvia and Danny Wilson, have refined a method of dog obedience training that makes dog training easy and accessible to all.

You work directly with a dog trainer in your own home, using a method that takes into account the unique challenges you’re facing, then fosters a positive relationship between you and your dog.

This method enables you to build a lasting emotional bond based on trust and respect, which in turn aids in overcoming past challenges with your pet.

Bark Busters dog trainers focus heavily on training people, as much or more as training dogs, so that once you learn to communicate effectively with your dog, you will have the necessary tools to be an effective dog trainer and “leader of his/her pack.

Established in in Australia in 1989, we are the world’s largest and most-trusted home dog training company, having trained more than one million dogs worldwide

Tulane’s Closet – Home of the Cover Me by Tui post-surgical pet garment – comfort not found with an e-collar

We all know vets have a difficult time with client compliance after their pet has surgery and goes home with an e-collar. Well, we have the answer! It is the Cover Me by Tui, which is a patent-pending true alternative to the e-collar.

This one-piece post-surgical garment allows the pet to rest easier and heal quicker. The Cover Me by Tui is made of 100% Peruvian cotton that is breathable, durable and light weight.

It has many reinforcements at critical seams and double stitching with reinforced snap tabs. The triple-strand cotton gives the garment strength, but its softness instantly comforts and calms the pet.

For ease, we have a built-in potty cover made of a soft French terry cloth that conveniently rolls and snaps up and out of the way, also absorbing any discharge that may occur after surgery. There are two styles to choose from – the Step-Into and the Pullover; both have either short- or long-sleeve options. We have designed our covers to easily  fit most any size breed with seven sizes from XXS to XXL to choose from.

The Cover Me by Tui is the only true alternative to an e-collar; now adjustable for a more customized fit

Come on over and sniff around!

We are a breed-specific online dog boutique featuring custom, hand-made and high-end products, many of which can be customized.

The Splendid Dog began as the fur-brained scheme of Kate Mood & Karen Moldovan, out of their love for all things Dog.

The owners of two purebreds and one gorgeous mutt, Kate and Karen were often frustrated in their online search for quality, unique products for their dogs. Thus was born The Splendid Dog.

For example, if you are crazy about greyhounds, you can go straight to the greyhound page and WOOF! No need to search through items for Chihuahuas or collies first– you can shop just for greyhound items for your dog, yourself or a friend!

We sell customizable, hand made and unique items for dogs.

Brands built with Cowboy Ingenuity with a European Flair

Manly Pet, LLC is an equine and companion animal hard goods product developer. Lisa handles the company’s trademark brands and private labels from conception through manufacturing to wholesale delivery.

Manly Pet’s newest product, a highly-endorsed, patent-pending equine halter, will be brought to market this summer.

About Lisa

“More than half a dozen years ago, I realized what I’ve enjoyed most in life – pets!  My current ‘mentors’ are: Max, an African grey; Asher, a Tibetan ‘terror’; K.C.  aka Mom, a black Labrador; her daughter, Rain; and Jack the Dog, a Brussels Griffon, with whom I share ‘custody’ with my son.

“After several years of research and development, I felt ready to launch Manly Pet, LLC in 2008. I wrote my first big investment check one week before Wall Street and the banks crashed. The economic world tilted, and I had to decide what to do: Cut my losses or carry on. I decided to put my head down and continue working on  products that made sense.

“What developed were products with clean sensible designs with premium integrity at affordable price points. These include unique leads and lunge lines for horses, dog leashes, denim dog collars and dog bed duvets as well as cat Canoodle beds and collars.

“I named my company Manly Pet as an answer to the question, ‘What happened to man in his best friend’s life?’ Men are, in my mind’s eye, my target market.”

Behind every horse are two dogs and three cats!
