DogBeach FAQs
What makes DogBeach different from a traditional dog kennel near Winter Park or Casselberry?
DogBeach is a modern dog boarding resort, not a basic kennel. Dogs stay in comfortable suites, enjoy indoor climate-controlled play areas, and get supervised activity from trained play staff. The facility also has an indoor heated pool, grooming services, and on-site veterinary care through the Veterinary Center of Casselberry.
Where is DogBeach located?
DogBeach is located at 1442 FL-436, Suite 1064, Casselberry, FL 32707, making it convenient for pet parents in Casselberry, Winter Park, Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Oviedo, Eatonville, and nearby Orlando communities.
What amenities are included with each dog boarding suite?
Every standard boarding suite includes morning play, afternoon play, pool time for dogs who want to swim, a Pupdate once per stay, and 1 PM checkout. Upgrade options include daily Pupdates, a daily treat, and late checkout.
How much time will my dog spend outside of their boarding suite?
Boarding guests receive two play sessions each day: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Dogs are placed in play settings that match their size, personality, comfort level, and activity style.
Do you have separate play areas for small dogs?
Yes. DogBeach has separate indoor play areas based on dog size and activity level, so small dogs are not grouped with larger dogs.
What if my dog does not like playing with other dogs?
That is okay. Dogs who prefer not to join group play can receive one-on-one time with trained staff instead. If a dog shows aggression toward humans, they may not be able to stay at DogBeach for safety reasons.
What happens if dogs do not get along during playtime?
DogBeach staff are trained to monitor dog behavior and step in before an escalation. If a dog is not a good fit for group play, they may be moved to a different setup or removed from play groups for everyone’s safety.
Is DogBeach a good option for senior or anxious dogs?
Yes. DogBeach’s Serenity Spa suites are designed for older dogs, anxious dogs, or dogs who prefer a quieter stay. These suites offer a calmer environment with relaxing music, aromatherapy, mood lighting, sound-damping walls, and comfortable bedding.
Does my dog have to be neutered?
Dogs participating in group daycare play are required to be neutered by eight months of age. If your dog is not neutered or is not a fit for group play, ask about private care options where your dog spends time with staff instead of other dogs.
Do you have an indoor swimming pool for dogs?
Yes. DogBeach has an indoor heated pool for dogs who enjoy swimming. Pool time is always supervised by a trained dog attendant. If your dog does not want to swim, they can enjoy the other indoor play areas instead.
Is DogBeach a good option during Florida heat or rainy weather?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of DogBeach is the 30,000-square-foot indoor facility. Dogs can play and stay active without dealing with Florida heat, rain, lightning, mud, pollen, or outdoor pests.
What should I bring for my dog’s boarding stay?
Bring your dog’s food in labeled, pre-portioned bags, along with any treats or medications they need. DogBeach provides bowls, bedding, beds, and playtime activities, so you do not need to bring blankets or toys.
Can I bring my dog’s blanket or favorite toy?
DogBeach provides bedding and activities, so most dogs do not need items from home. If your dog needs a comfort item, a t-shirt with your scent is the best option.
Do you provide food, or should I bring my own?
DogBeach in Casselberry can provide food for a small daily fee, but bringing your dog’s regular food is recommended. Keeping your dog on their normal diet helps avoid unnecessary stomach upset during their stay.
Can two dogs from the same family share a suite?
Yes. Two dogs from the same family can share a boarding suite. DogBeach attendants can help you choose the right suite size and setup for your dog family.
Can my dog receive medication during their stay?
Yes. DogBeach can administer prescribed medications that you bring with you for a small fee. Be sure medications are clearly labeled with instructions.
What vaccines are required for boarding at DogBeach?
Dogs must be current on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations. A negative fecal test is also required. All guests must be flea and parasite free.
What happens if fleas or parasites are found during my dog’s stay?
If fleas or parasites are discovered, treatment will be provided and an additional charge may apply. This policy helps protect every dog staying and playing at DogBeach.
Can I tour DogBeach before boarding my dog?
Yes. Tours are encouraged, especially for first-time guests. A tour gives you a chance to see the facility, meet the team, and choose the right boarding suite and play environment for your dog.
Do the dog boarding suites have cameras?
VIP suites include remote cameras so pet parents can check in on their dog during their stay. This is a helpful upgrade for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Do you offer discounts for multiple dogs?

My dog Ralphie absolutely loved his stay at DogBeach. He was so loved and cared for. I loved that I received report cards, updates and pictures of him while we were gone showing how happy he was. He came home calm, happy and clean!! He can’t wait to go back and play with his new friends!
