Exceptional Care for Every Dog
Better K9 is Riverside County’s veterinarian-recommended pet resort for dog boarding. Why? For our 24/7 supervision, safe dog daycare, fabulous bathing & spa services, and award-winning dog training. Both our Riverside and Corona resorts are located on over an acre of beautiful land for dogs to run, play, and live large. Fun, friends, and tail wags await!
We’ve been taking our dog Cooper to the Corona location and we’ve received A+ service every time. Our dog comes home very happy and tired from playing so much with his buddies. I would recommend Better K9 to anyone! Thank you to the whole staff at Better K9🙏🏼❤️

I’ve been taking my dog here for a couple weeks now and they are amazing! She always gets so excited when she knows she’s going to day care! I never have to worry about if my pup is safe with them. I know she is well taken care of while I’m at work

We have been taking our dogs to Better K9 for over 10 years. We trust them to their care without reservation and know they are handled by professionally trained staff who maintain high standards. Our 'mutts' love it there, both in Riverside and Corona and are always anxious to go have fun.

Your dog’s first day is an “introduction day,” free of charge, where we get to observe your pet’s preferred play styles and determine if they’re a good fit for the group. If your pup seems to prefer playing with the staff, we have a personal play program just for dogs like him/her.

Absolutely, we’d love to send your furry friend home sparkling and fresh. Just let us know ahead of time so we can book their appointment at the salon.

This meeting is also the first step in developing your pet’s customized training program. Payment plans are available.
Can you work on a specific goal with my dog?
We’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and challenges, so we may be able to help with a particular challenge. When you come in for your free training evaluation, we’ll discuss how we can help.
