Why Pet Parents Trust Us
Fear Free Care You Can Trust
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 standard no other local boarding provider meets. With spacious accommodations, daily enrichment, and constant 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.
