The idea of a “doggie day care” started when we, Jackson and Samantha Bahn, realized that it was hard to ask friends to care for our family dogs Bodhi (now passed) and Baloo (our 11-year-old labradoodle) for a couple weeks at a time. One Christmas break and another spring break lead to another, and we founded Alpha Dog Care in 2014 in Salida, CO. Our business is a safe and fun place for dogs to socialize while their owners work, travel, and play. At our facility, dogs play and socialize, take a siesta, and are able to roam inside and outside as they choose and feel comfortable. We provide a safe and secure kennel for each dog, or group of family dogs, to eat and sleep when not hanging out in the pack. We can accommodate older dogs, dogs with special needs, and puppies! Today, this is a family-owned business so you may catch our kids Beya and Rafa stopping by as they love dogs just as much as we do!
