Fear Free Care

Since 2011, we’ve been a trusted part of the community, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. At the Companion Animal Center in Oakdale, Minnesota our Fear Free Pledged team takes the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and emotional well-being—delivering structured, compassionate care that goes beyond routine to truly support your dog’s comfort and happiness.

Standards That Set Us Apart

Our facility is not only clean and secure—it’s fully licensed and inspected by the Minnesota Board of Animal Health (a requirement that is not standard across boarding & daycare facilities in Minnesota). With spacious accommodations—including 15,000 square feet of turf play space!—daily enrichment, and close supervision, we provide a calming, low-stress environment where your dog can rest, play, and feel at ease.

Premium Care at Affordable Pricing

We believe exceptional care should be accessible. That’s why we offer competitive pricing for premium services—including spa treatments, enriching daycare, and thoughtfully designed boarding options. Every service is delivered with purpose and backed by a deep commitment to your dog’s overall well-being.

You don’t know it yet….but your dog is so happy you found us!
