Animal Friends Pet Care understands that Akita boarding isn't one-size-fits-all. With a courageous, dignified, and loyal temperament and moderate to high — enjoy walks and structured exercise exercise needs, Akitas require boarding staff who know the breed. Our team has years of experience caring for Akitas and tailors every stay to their specific needs.
Separation anxiety & settling in: Akitas are independent and typically handle boarding with confidence; they appreciate their own space. We send photo and video updates so you can see them comfortable and relaxed throughout their stay.
Exercise & socialization: Akitas can be dog-aggressive, especially same-sex; solo exercise is often safest. Our facility features a commercial-grade agility park and supervised outdoor play areas. Akitas get structured exercise — not just potty breaks — customized to their energy level.
Feeding & health: Good appetites; standard portions. We administer medications on schedule at no extra charge, and our team monitors for any health concerns throughout the stay.
Every boarding suite is private, climate-controlled (68-72°F year-round), and equipped with a 24/7 live camera you can access from any device. After Hurricane Michael, we invested $120,000 in solar power, battery banks, and a private deep well — making us the only Panama City boarding facility prepared for multi-day outages.
Akita owners across Panama City, Lynn Haven, and Bay County trust Animal Friends for overnight and extended boarding — and the 24/7 live cameras mean you can check on your Akita anytime, from anywhere.
