Panama City sits at a major crossroads in the Florida Panhandle. If you're traveling along US-98 along the Gulf coast, US-231 from the north, or connecting from I-10 through Tallahassee or Pensacola, you may find yourself passing through Panama City with a dog that needs a break — or a situation where you need professional boarding for a night or two before continuing your journey.
Animal Friends Pet Care is at 2912 Transmitter Road in Panama City — convenient to US-98, US-231, and the Bay County road network. We welcome road-tripping dogs and their owners. Short stays of 1-2 nights are completely welcome.
Common Road Trip Scenarios We Handle
- Relocating to Florida and need to stage a multi-day move through Panama City
- Driving from the Midwest or Southeast to PCB for vacation — boarding your dog while you're at the beach
- Unexpected car trouble or extended stay in Bay County
- Your destination rental turned out to be non-pet-friendly
- Family emergency in Bay County and you need the dog taken care of while you handle it
