Animal Friends Pet Care understands that Maltese boarding isn't one-size-fits-all. With a gentle, playful, and devoted temperament and low — indoor play and short walks exercise needs, Malteses require boarding staff who know the breed. Our team has years of experience caring for Malteses and tailors every stay to their specific needs.
Separation anxiety & settling in: Can be anxious initially due to strong owner attachment; settle well with attention from staff. We send photo and video updates so you can see them comfortable and relaxed throughout their stay.
Exercise & socialization: Best with other small, gentle dogs; avoid rough play groups. Our facility features a commercial-grade agility park and supervised outdoor play areas. Malteses get structured exercise — not just potty breaks — customized to their energy level.
Feeding & health: Small meals; Maltese can skip meals when stressed, so familiar food is 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.
Maltese 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 Maltese anytime, from anywhere.
