Daytime Socialization
The Mutt Hutt is a year-round indoor and outdoor facility with a focus on offering dogs daytime socialization. We provide a structured and social atmosphere for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. We understand dogs and their need to exercise and socialize. Play and socialization with other dogs and humans keeps a dog’s mind active and helps it remain mentally fit. Boredom and lack of an exercise routine may lead to destructive behaviors at home such as chewing, digging or barking, and can adversely affect a dog’s willingness to obey commands. Our role in your dog's life is to make sure they are having the best experience socializing and exercising.
During a daytime visit your dog can expect lots of leash-free socialization and attention filled with interaction and play with other dogs of all sizes and energy levels as well as necessary rest time when needed. We provide a healthy, fun and nurturing environment for your dog while in our care. Our focus is on constructive, rather than destructive, dog behavior. Our staff is dedicated to ensuring that your dog is well-cared for at all times and treated like one of our own dogs in our homes.

We offer full (up to 12.5-hours) and half (up to 6-hours) days of daycare. Not only do we manage how many dogs we have at our facility each day, we manage the pack and the personalities of dogs who are attending each day.
Although we are "cage free" for safety there are, of course, a few kennels set up within the facility which are used for dogs who need a break from play, dogs who enjoy having alone time and for safety. The interior playroom space is approximately 2,500 square feet with concrete floors and overhead radiant heaters. The outside yard is approximately 7,500 square feet with smooth pea gravel, shade trees, umbrellas, dog houses and seasonal play equipment including sprinklers, and small and large wading pools. We use above ground cot-style beds to keep your dogs comfortable year round. In the winter months we provide a dog sweater to those who need of an extra layer of warmth. Clients enrolled in our daytime socialization center are welcome to request add-on services in conjunction with your daytime visit, including a departure mutt wash (shampoo, rinse, and towel dry), nail trim, or other select grooming services.
Reservations are required for all of the services we provide.
We do not service owner provided lunches to daycare dogs. Not every dog will eat a lunch as there are many distractions and four-legged friends keeping them from wanting to devour the food bowl. Please be sure to feed your dogs a bigger breakfast the morning they are coming to play or increase their dinner when they come home from daycare.
We offer parents commuting with babies “Baby on Board” service which give you peace of mind having help from one of our dog handlers assisting with getting your dog into our facility or back to your car at the end of the day. Please note your dog(s) must be leashed in the car in order for our handlers to safely remove them. Please be patient with us, too! It’s always helpful to let us know in advance that you will need this service. This is for parents with children 3 years or younger in car seats only.

Grooming Services
Your dog's comfort is our number one priority while in our care. To provide your dog with the top-quality care they deserve and our clients expect from us our services are provided by appointment only. We provide various grooming services for dogs giving each dog a one-on-one experience with experienced dog handlers trained to accommodate dogs with all personalities, breeds and sizes. Dogs receiving a bath will always be hand-blown with our dryers and dogs will never be put in cages during the grooming process.
We are no longer offer hair-cut grooming services for dogs. We provide select grooming services for our daytime visitors including accommodating non-social dogs and dogs who do not attend weekday socialization as our schedule allows. Given the limited number of appointments available to book in advance we encourage clients to book recurring appointments to secure your dogs grooming needs.
Appointments are required in advance and due to the limited availability and demand for the services we are requiring a $20 non-refundable deposit for appointments booked for the Deluxe Mutt-Wash and Stop-N-Go Mutt-Wash. Those booking nail trim services are not required to prepay. To give each dog in our care the best experience they can have while with us we have designated various Saturdays of each month to accommodate and service non-social dogs with our private and safe cage-free salon experience. We offer a limited number of appointments best suited for our clients with busy weekday schedules and dogs who are most frequently or exclusively in need of grooming services whether it's a quick bath a Deluxe Mutt-Wash or a nail trim.
Appointment requests may be made in advance via email at tmh@themutthutt.com or by calling 216-621-6888 during non-peak hours.
Our Grooming Salon Specialist and Dog Handler, Bre, is a self-started sensation who has dedicated herself to providing the best care for the dogs she services here in our salon since she joined us 2017. In addition to truly understanding dog coats to make recommendations to our clients for what service is best for each dog she cares for she maintains excellent handling skills to get the job done and keep the dogs happy. We will always go out of our way to make sure the grooming experience is positive. Pictured is Jack who tends to get a bit anxious with nail trims so we've accommodated him with a "parking lot" service visit allowing his owners to be by his side.
