Pets are considered to be a part of our families. With all the love and joy they give us, isn't it about time they received some pampering? There are numerous places where a dog or cat can get a day of luxury. One fantastic spa can be found in Keller, Texas. American Pet Spa is a wonderful place were a pet and their owner can share a day at the spa.

The American Pet Spa offers many activities for you and your pet. They have a self-service wash and grooming facility that includes five raised wash tubs and eight grooming tables. With helpful hints from staff groomers, you can learn how to properly groom your pet. Grooming seminars are also offered. If a professional grooming is more your style, don't worry, the American Pet Spa has trained professionals to make your pet look like a Diva. After your pet's makeover, you can have a personalized pet button made. Besides grooming, you can treat your best friend to a nail trim, buffing and even a coloring.

After the grooming, your pet can have play time at the Doggie Play Park. The park is 125 feet by 40 feet and only costs $1.75 per hour. When you're done with play time, why not stop by the retail shop to check out the items they have to offer, such as pet gift baskets. Besides grooming and a doggie play park, the American Pet Spa offers flea dipping, ear cleaning and teeth brushing. For those of you who travel, pet boarding and doggie day care is also offered, along with a pet shuttle. There are some requirements for boarding. Your dog has to have the following up-to-date vaccinations: parvo, bordetella, rabies, distemper and corona for dogs under 2 years of age. The spa is open six days a week. So, if you get a chance to spend time in Keller, Texas or know someone in the area, check out the American Pet Spa. It's the kind of treatment your pet deserves.
