Mile High Mutts is a small business whose only concern is quality pet care. Our goal of superior customer service and satisfaction will take dedication on the part of all staff members and vendors. The vision manifests itself in three ways: Our keys to success will be providing high quality day care and overnight kenneling, competitive pricing, and excellent customer service. We are a fully insured facility and we have a relationship with Dr. Amy Rupp Urban Vet Care if a problem were to arise. We adhere to strict cleaning and deodorizing standards to make the stay here pleasant and safe for the dogs as well as the owners.
