Celebrating National Pet Month: Fun Ways to Make April All About Your Dog
April is National Pet Month—a time to celebrate the joy, love, and companionship our furry friends bring into our lives. At The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel, we believe every month should be about pets—but this April, we’re going all out to help you and your pup make the most of it! Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventures, pampering experiences, or tasty treats, there are so many fun ways to celebrate with your dog. Here are some of our favorite ideas to make this month paws-itively unforgettable.
Plan a Spa Day at The Ark
Treat your pup to some serious pampering with a full-service grooming appointment at The Ark. Our award-winning groomers will leave your dog looking and feeling their best, whether it’s a fresh spring haircut or just a soothing bath and nail trim. It's self-care season—and pets deserve it too!
Make New Friends at Doggy Daycare
Social playtime is a great way for your dog to burn energy and have a blast! Book a few sessions of doggy daycare at The Ark, where your pup can romp with friends in our safe, supervised playgroups. Bonus: they’ll come home tired and happy.
Explore Local Dog-Friendly Spots
Spring is in the air—literally! Take your pup on a new adventure. Some of our favorite dog-friendly places in and around Chattanooga include:
- Greenway Farm Dog Park
- Stringer Ridge
- Reflection Riding Arboretum
- Huntsville Dog Spot
- Monte Sano State Park
- Campus 805
