Our Introduction

Who we are and what we do

Welcome to Splashing Paws, LLC. Our top priority is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that we are providing the very best of care to meet your pets' individual needs during their time with us. We look forward to meeting you and your pet. 

Our facility is located on a half acre located along Interstate 40, it lies southwest of Kingman, just east of the southern section of the Black Mountains and west of the Hualapai and McCracken Mountains in the Sacramento Valley. We pride ourselves on being one of the finest pet boarding facilities in the area.

The Splashing Paws boarding facility was founded in 2021. Stringent guidelines set forth by the American Boarding Kennel Association (now Pet Care Services Association) were followed. Susan Foe has operated Splashing Paws boarding kennel since January of 2021. Susan’s love of all animals has inspired her to create a friendly and inviting home away from home for your pet, where she and her staff provide full service dog and cat boarding, Avian & Exotic Pets, and Doggy daycare. Since early 2025, the facility has undergone numerous upgrades to provide the best of the best accommodations for your pets stay with us. At Splashing Paws, our passion for pets and our commitment to our customers has made us who we are today. Our goal is to insure that every pet that stays with us has such a positive experience that they can't wait to come see us again.

Rattlesnake Aversion Training

Our training uses live rattlesnakes to create the most realistic experience possible. Since rewards alone can’t convey the real danger, we apply a brief correction to simulate a bite—helping dogs make a strong, lasting connection: “Rattlesnake = Ouch.”

The method is safe, quick, and highly effective for most dogs six months and older, regardless of breed or size, with results that typically last for years.

Our prices are based on factors such as dog breed, coat health, temperament, and size. This pricing includes services like nail trims, brushing, baths, and applying cologne.

All pets must be dropped off or picked up during regular office hours. Drop-offs are accepted no earlier than 9am and pick-ups must be before 4:30pm. Reservations are recommended, especially for holidays and summer weekends. During these times, we recommend that you call 2-3 weeks in advance to increase the chance that a spot will be available.

Food: We provide food for pets staying with us. However, please feel free to bring enough of your pet's regular food to last the duration of the stay.


Medication: If your pet takes any medication, bring it along for our staff to administer.
Toys: If your pet has a special toy or two, bring them along.


Yes, feel free to call us during your pet's stay for updates. If there is a problem, we will contact you via the emergency contact information you provide.

Each animal is different. To prepare for your pet's stay with us, we'll take the following steps to ensure that we can meet their unique needs.

We sure do!
We require all dogs to be at least 4 months old and:  
* Be up to date on all 3 vaccines (as far as they can be)  
* Be on a heart-worm preventative 
* Have their stool cleared by a vet 
* If they are older than 8 months, they must be spayed or neutered to stay

If your puppy is cleared by your vet to be in an environment with multiple dogs, they can play! Puppies actually do really well boarding with us due to the nature of our boarding. They get tons of play, lots of rest, and are kept on a potty routine very similar to home, keeping them on a successful path to potty training!

NOTE: Although most puppies do great, they many need to wait until they’re older (or had training) to board with us if they:
* are destructive/stressed in their kennels
* have excessive accidents
* lack basic social cues with other dogs

We require:

  • Rabies
  • Distemper (DHPP)
  • Bordetella (kennel cough) - 6 months or 1 year is accepted

We encourage your dog to be on both a heart-worm protection and a flea & tick preventative. This is the only way to prevent fleas, ticks, or any type of communally spread worms/warts.

All pets must be dropped off or picked up during regular office hours. Drop-offs are accepted no earlier than 9am and pick-ups must be before 4:30pm. Reservations are recommended, especially for holidays and summer weekends. During these times, we recommend that you call 2-3 weeks in advance to increase the chance that a spot will be available.
