Panama City Beach is one of the top spring break destinations in the country — and every March and April, thousands of families and groups arrive, many of them with dogs. Spring break is the single busiest boarding season for our facility. If you're planning to be in PCB for spring break and you're bringing your dog, call (850) 257-5776 to reserve a suite now. Spring break availability fills up weeks in advance.
Whether you're driving down from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, or anywhere in the Southeast, we're the last stop before the beach. Our facility at 2912 Transmitter Road is 15 minutes from the Gulf — drop off your dog, grab your board, and check in on them from the water via our live camera system.
Why Spring Break Dog Boarding Requires Advance Planning
Spring break brings enormous numbers of visitors to Bay County over a compressed 4-6 week window (typically March through mid-April). Professional boarding facilities in the area reach capacity quickly. Unlike hotels that can always add a cot, boarding suites are finite — we have a fixed number of private suites and we won't overbook them. Early reservations guarantee your dog's spot.
Last-minute spring break boarding requests are common — families who didn't plan ahead, groups whose hotel turned out to be non-pet-friendly, or visitors who drove 8 hours and need boarding today. We do our best to accommodate them, but advance booking is always better.
