The Perfect Place for your Pet

Brooklyn Bridge NY

I take all things concerning Max very serious. Yep I'm one of those dog moms that does everything for her dog. So it's only natural that when I moved to New York, finding a top quality doggie daycare was a top priority. I don't mess around when it comes to Max. He gets the best treats, wears the flyest clothes and needed a place where he could have fun, be taken care of and, most importantly, a place I could trust. I will cut you when it comes to my dog!

After searching high and low, checking out websites and visiting places in Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn I found the perfect place. GREEN PETS SPA & BOUTIQUE, the little hidden gem in Brooklyn. After my first conversation, with Wendy, I knew I was going to like this place. Walking in, I was a little hesitant (only because I was comparing it to DoGone Fun! in Chicago) but after talking to Wendy and Jimmy, while Max played around I began to relax. And the cherry on top was meeting the owner. It says a lot to me when an owner takes the time to meet and greet and talk with potential customers. Twain Belgrave, the owner of Green Pets, has everything, in HIM, that I was searching for in a doggie daycare. Dog owners are extremely fortunate that he took all of his care, committment and compassion for dogs and created Green Pets.

For a day or for a week, Green Pets is the place for dogs. They have reasonably price day care packages, grooming, boarding and....drum roll please.....drop off and pick services. Yes, they will pick your dog up in the morning and bring him home in the evening. So whether you're in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens or the Bronx check out Green Pets Spa & Boutique. You won't be sorry that you did! Oh and if a little brown and white Morkie is barking at your feet, that's just Max.

Its All About Max

I was one of those people who used to think that people's obsession with their pets, particularly dogs was insane.  I mean really, who would take their dog everywhere with them, buy them clothes and doggie daycare..........FORGET ABOUT IT! 

Well, September 7, 2007 I became one of those people.  On that day, the most precious thing was delivered to me.  At only 10 weeks and 3.6lbs Max entered my life and I haven't been the same since.  I must admit, I've become one of those people I used to talk about and call crazy.  And now it all makes sense, to me anyway.  Max goes everywhere with me, he has all the freshest clothes and yep he's a doggie daycare regular.  He brings me so much joy.  When I'm away from him, I miss him and can't wait to see him again.  He makes me laugh, he makes me cry, he calms me and knows the right things to do to get on my good side (even those times when he's knocked over the grocery bag to steal the turkey jerky).  There a saying that goes something like, "people and their pets are the same."  Well it must be true because together, Max and I will sleep the day away.  I am not a morning person and Max well, sometimes I have to wake him up.  I get so jealous when I have to wake up early and he stays sleep the entire time I'm getting dressed with that "better you than me" look on his face.  I have medical issues and Blum Animal Hospital knows me on a first name basis because Max is there so much.  With everything (including the cost) that comes with caring for Max, I wouldn't trade him for anything. 

He's a very smart dog, a sharp dresser and very good looking!  One look at the face and whatever I'm stressing about goes away.  Yes, he sleeps wild, wants to play ball too much and passes gas that stinks all to be damned but I love him.  Whenever God decides to put a man or a child into my life, they will have some stiff competition because Max will be all over them, making sure they are right for me.
