Healthy Hound Playground

For the ultimate doggy adventure, take your pup to Healthy Hound Playground right near Reston, VA for doggy day care or a top notch dog boarding service in Northern VA, while you visit the surrounding area, including the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Healthy Hound Playground is where your furry friend can enjoy three separate play areas, cushioned rubber flooring, a 20 minute outdoor park stroll and even a heart pumping 2 mile run! You can check out the playground by visiting 45910 TransAmerica Plaza. Suite 109, Sterling, VA 20166.

Be sure during every outing with your dog, you have everything you need to care for them throughout the day. That includes a portable water bowl, plenty of water, leashes, treats and enough food if you plan to be out for the whole day. Don’t forget to keep a close eye on your pup as you may tire them out from excessive exercise/play. And last but not least, enjoy the mild weather with your furry friend while it lasts because before you know it we will be seeing snow in the forecast.
