Animal Friends Pet Care understands that Great Dane boarding isn't one-size-fits-all. With a friendly, patient, and dependable temperament and moderate — shorter walks due to joint sensitivity exercise needs, Great Danes require boarding staff who know the breed. Our team has years of experience caring for Great Danes and tailors every stay to their specific needs.
Separation anxiety & settling in: Great Danes are surprisingly gentle and adaptable; they often become boarding favorites due to their calm nature. We send photo and video updates so you can see them comfortable and relaxed throughout their stay.
Exercise & socialization: Generally excellent with other dogs; their calm energy sets a good tone for play groups. Our facility features a commercial-grade agility park and supervised outdoor play areas. Great Danes get structured exercise — not just potty breaks — customized to their energy level.
Feeding & health: Large portions; deep-chested breed at elevated bloat risk — slow feeding and rest after meals are essential. 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.
Great Dane 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 Great Dane anytime, from anywhere.
