Southern Hound Club was established in 2018 by veterinarian Amanda Hall-Phillips, DVM. With a keen awareness of the limitations of traditional boarding facilities and a personal commitment to providing optimal care for her own dogs, Dr. Hall-Phillips conceived The Southern Hound Club as a special place where every canine guest can truly thrive.
Southern Hound Club
approach
Meticulous attention to detail defines our approach to boarding and playcare. From the selection of Fear-Free™ paint colors to the careful consideration of floor textures to prevent slipping for older dogs, every aspect of the environment is tailored to ensure the comfort and well-being of our guests. Even the choice of light bulbs and scents of sanitation products is guided by a commitment to meeting the preferences of our canine companions.
Our outdoor play yards are thoughtfully designed to facilitate smaller playgroups for safety and to minimize stress, reflecting our dedication to creating a positive experience for every guest.
