Big Dog Energy

My dog looks forward to his days with his friends! He gets so excited when he realizes he’s going to play for the day at BDE. The boarding is great too. For a dog with separation issues BDE has become a second home so the time away from us isn’t so hard on him. We ❤️ BDE!

My husband and I feel so fortunate to have Big Dog Energy (BDE) for both our older French Bulldog and youngster Bernese Mountain Dog pup! BDE has practically co-raised our bernie, and does so well accommodating both dogs in their very different stages of life. I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom, and the owner does such a great job of making sure I know the dogs are well cared for. Both of my dogs love everybody that works there, and I truly love BDE! Grateful for you guys!

If you are looking for an excellent boarding and daycare for your fur baby look no further! BDE has two locations, the north side and in Airway Heights. We recently moved to Spokane with our 8 year old lab, he was with the same daycare/boarding facility for the entire time so imagine my angst when I needed to find a new place for Jake. I visited a couple of dog daycares but when I walked into BDE I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the facility then I met Jen the owner, after chatting I knew I’d found Jake’s second home! Jen has a knowledgeable caring staff that greets your dog by name. She has indoor play and outdoor when weather permits. If you are searching for a new daycare/boarding facility or new to the area like we were please give BDE a try, I guarantee you will be glad you did! My husband and I are incredibly grateful for the care they give Jake!

We have been taking our dogs to Big Dog since they opened. I adopted two puppies about 5 months before taking them to Big Dog- They were deeply traumatized and it took a lot of time to socialize them. Working on their behavior has been an ongoing process. Jen has been very attentive and helpful throughout this process. She’s communicative and has created a very safe space for my dogs, which I appreciate very much. I absolutely recommend Big Dog for anyone looking for a trustworthy option for dog daycare/ boarding.

BDE was a great find for me and my pup. The facilities are clean and the employees are both kind and great with the animal care. My dog loves his daycare days here with Jen and her crew he comes home happy and is always excited to go back. Worth every penny!! Also the great selection of foods and treats that my pup can have even with his allergies.

This is by far the best doggie daycare in Spokane! From the moment you walk in you’ll notice how clean it is and does NOT smell like a doggie daycare! The staff are super nice and truly LOVE your pups! Great indoor and outdoor space. Also the best operating hours in Spokane!! The owner, Jen, is so amazing and caring for your doggies. Great boarding accommodations as well! I’ve been taking my 2 labs here for 3 years and they just love going and are exhausted when we get home! Win win for everyone!!

We found Jen and BDE right when we had almost given up on finding a good doggy daycare for our new puppy… and that was three years ago! Our doodle, Punky, absolutely loves "going to play with her friends." She comes home happy and tired every time, and by the next daycare day she’s ready to go again. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that everyone there makes sure Punky is well cared for and loved while she’s there. Jen truly treats the dogs like her own. Over the years, she has become more than just our doggy daycare provider—she’s become a good friend. We’re incredibly grateful we found her!
