A Best Friends Doggy Daycare is expected to open by June inside the Walmart at 8555 Preston Road, Frisco. Best Friends Pet Hotel, a dog day care and grooming company, is opening 10 locations within Walmart stores across five states, according to a news release.
The Best Friends Pet Hotel locations will offer a “Shop N’ Play” drop-off service for play in 1.5-hour increments. In addition, pet owners can request private space rentals for “Doggy Birthday Paw-ty” celebrations, the release stated.
“Pet ownership is driving innovation, and Walmart is proud to offer new services that promote pet health and wellness, because that’s what our customers want,” said Melody Richard, merchandising vice president of pets at Walmart, in the release. “We’re excited to build upon our offerings and bring peace-of-mind to pet parents looking for trusted, convenient pet care services.”
The pet hotels will allow for access through an exterior entrance to streamline drop-off and pickup services while minimizing pet-shopper interactions, according to the release. Prices and contact information for specific locations can be found at www.bestfriendspetcare.info.
