The Sniff Shack

The Sniff Shack is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 5300 W 44th Ave in northwest Denver. It offers overnight stays in private suites, structured daytime play, and grooming, and it is open seven days a week. Owners comparing dog boarding in Denver will notice the suites here are private rooms rather than chain link kennels.

What makes it different

Webcams let owners check in on their dog during the day. Staff send home daily report cards after each visit, and the facility keeps a low person-to-pup ratio so dogs get individual attention. Dogs that need medication or a custom meal can be accommodated. The Sniff Shack is compliant with Colorado Department of Agriculture (PACFA) regulations.
