Fun and Safe Dog Boarding in Panama City
Your Pup’s Favorite Home Away From Home
At NaJu Pets, we understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re your family, your fur baby, and your best friend. We know how important it is to trust someone with their care, and that’s why we go beyond basic dog boarding to create a home-away-from-home experience. Our facility offers spacious, climate-controlled accommodations, plenty of playtime in our private dog park, and lots of personalized attention from our caring staff. From fun-filled splash pad adventures to cozy bedtime snuggles, we make sure your pup feels loved and well cared for every step of the way.

With a familiar daily routine, plenty of room to move and play, and personalized care, we do everything we can to make your pup feel comfortable and safe. Our accommodations ensure your dog has the space they need to stay comfortable and our carefully curated activities provide the mental and physical stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy.
Our Dog Boarding Activities are Designed to:
- Prevent boredom with stimulating activities
- Relieve separation anxiety with loving care
- Improve social skills through safe interactions
- Promote a healthy appetite with consistent feeding
- Ensure potty regularity with frequent breaks

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF BOARDING MY PET WITH NAJU VS. OTHER OPTIONS?
-
+
Pets, with families who travel, benefit most by staying at a quality boarding facility like NaJu because we keep our guests on a consistent daily routine in a clean, spacious and secure environment. We also offer lots of fun, social & physical activities to keep our guests busy. This prevents boredom, helps relieve any separation anxiety, builds self confidence, improves social skills, burns calories, stimulates appetite, promotes potty regularity, and at the end of the day they have had a ball and are tired & ready for bed.
Some other optional advantages are:
- Affordable exit Bathing and Grooming offered before going home.
- Our Affordable Pet Shuttle Service (You don’t even have to be home).
WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR MY DOG TO COME TO NAJU?

The only thing you’ll need for your pet to stay with NaJu are your pet’s vaccine records. Please be sure to see our guidelines below. We take care of all other belongings (food, beds, blankets, toys & so on) though you are welcome to bring your own.
NaJu Requires the Following Vaccines…
RABIES – Vet specifies – 1 to 3 years
DHLPP – Vet specifies – 1 to 3 years
Bordetella – NaJu requires SIX MONTHS
Bordetella (Canine Cough Vaccine) Policy
If the Bordetella vaccine has not been done before or has not been done in 1 (one) year or more, the Bordetella must be done by a veterinarian. Naju requires a three (3) day wait prior to services for nasal vaccines and a ten (10) day wait prior to services for shots under the skin. If the Bordetella has been done in the last year but is over the required 6 month date, you may go to your Vet or purchase a Bordetella vaccination from Naju (WITH NO WAIT PERIOD) and we can assist you in giving the nasal drops.
