About Thunder Vallies Animal House

Who runs it

Thunder Vallies Animal House is at 1647 Cincinnati Road, Georgetown, KY 40324, and describes itself in its own subtitle as "Doggie Daycare/ Boarding/ Training/ Grooming."

What they offer

The home page sets out the mix. Daycare: "We are currently accepting pets interested in playing with other pets during the day while their humans are at work." Convalescent care: "we offer assistance to pets recovering from surgery or are otherwise in need of extra tender loving care." Prenatal and postnatal care "is available for the expectant canine mommy needing monitoring for potential difficulties during pregnancy and after delivery." Vet transport: "We can provide transportation to and from the vet for scheduled visits whether they are annual exams or surgical procedures."

On training the site says two things. First, that it runs inside daycare as well as separately: "We offer behavior modification within the Day Care environment as well as through training." Second, that classes exist: "Training classes have started and new ones will be starting soon." Puppies and adults "are also invited to attend for playtime and socialization with other puppies and adults who are also learning (or relearning) the ropes of home ownership." Grooming is limited: "We can also handle small grooming needs such as bathing, nails and trims."

Before you book

Ask what the training involves, who teaches it, how long it runs and what it costs. The site's own footer reads "2013 Thunder Vallies Animal House. All rights reserved" with a platform line covering 2000-2021, so the training-class copy may be years out of date; the phone number to confirm current classes is 502-867-2030.
