Cynthia's Canine Inn: June 2009

THE INN

It's hard to leave your beloved pet behind anytime you take a trip. I know, it was hard for me! So I decided to start my own inn, so other pets can feel right at home even if their families aren't!

Your furry family member will be housed in our 4,000 sq foot home on a 1/2 acre lot in Alamo, conveniently located right off the freeway. Tobie, our Bernese Mountain Dog, is a great host, and helps his doggie guests get comfortable with his loving and submissive attention.

Your pet will generally have free run of the house and the grounds and will be closely supervised. We strongly believe that dogs need walks and dedicated play time and will tailor activities accordingly. Like every great inn, our guests are pleasantly surprised by delectable foodie treats throughout their stay.

We strive to create and maintain a balanced, fun environment for our doggy guests so may decline requests depending on prior commitments made.

Given that the guests mingle, we insist that they are current on their vaccinations to ensure a healthy environment.

You will find our rates highly competitive with multiple night discounts and Very Important Pet (VIP) rates for our returning guests.

Please email cyn1188@hotmail.com or call us at 925-899-0130 for more information.

Unfortunately, the owners of the Inn are taking an indefinite break for family reasons and will not be taking any new clients from November 2015 onwards.

Crissy Field - new doggie field trip

Okay, you doggies and your owners, you have just got to go check out Crissy Field in the City. It is awesome. No leashes, beautiful beaches, views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate! It is AMAZING! It is the latest field trip excursion offered at Cynthia's Canine Inn & Spa. What a great way to beat the heat in the East Bay!

Lily & Jackson

We're Lily & Jackson and we're gorgeous Berners! We are not only boarders at the Inn but we're frequent daycare clients. There's always something going on at the Inn. For starters, there's 8 month old Tobie, who's a great puppy pal for 10 month old Jackson. They romp and play all day long which is great for me, Lily, as I'm a regal 5 1/2 year old dame and too elegant to be associating with those juveniles. I prefer long scenic hikes, squirrel hunting and mall walking at Broadway Plaza. I must say that they do indulge me frequently with these activities at the Inn. I also enjoy couch time with the innkeeper and or her staff and the little tidbits that they serve me from time to time. To keep my figure trim, I usually order the brown rice, ground beef and vegetable. They do quite a nice job here. You'll have to drop by sometime to visit.

Her name is Lola

Like the Barry Manilow song, Copacabana, Lola is the showgirl and Tobie, (not Tony) is her guy. And so it is with Tobie (our Bernese Mountain pup aka Concierge) and Lola (a beautiful miniature cocker spaniel). Tobie is mesmerized by Lola and will not leave her side. They play and wrestle around so much that both have to take short naps throughout the day. But Tobie is not as energetic as Lola so while he's resting, Lola amuses herself enjoys chasing the birds in the backyard, watching the fish swim in the pond and chasing her tennis ball.
