Shopping in Detroit: Doggie Daycare!

Doggie Daycare? Yes, there is such a thing, and the City of Detroit has such a facility located right in the historic Midtown Neighborhood (formerly known as "The Cass Corridor"). Canine to Five is a daycare center, grooming facility, and boarding complex. Canine to Five offers both indoor and outdoor cage-free playspaces, separate areas for puppies and older dogs, as well as kennel cages for overnight boarding. The owner and staff are knowledgeable in first aid for canines, CPR, and are specialists in animal behavior. Customers love the specialized attention given their dogs; the facility even emails pictures and updates to the dogs' owners if/when they are out of town.


Canine to Five, owned by Liz Blondy, opened in 2005. Ms. Blondy is also a co-founder of Open City Detroit, a Detroit entrepreneur networking group. Dog "parents" can bring their does to evening and weekend "playdates", as well as sign up their "children" for behavior classes and twice-weekly walks along the Detroit Riverwalk with the Riverfront Canine Club. Doggie owners can even schedule "private doggie parties" at Canine to Five; which is a member of the American Kennel Boarding Association.



Canine to Five is located at 3443 Cass Avenue between Martin Luther King Blvd. and Peterboro; close to Wayne State, the Detroit Medical, and Downtown Detroit.
