June/July 2004 Newsletter     


Best Friends Pet Care Inc. has announced plans to open a state-of-the-art pet care center in White Plains, New York later this year, bringing to 40 the total number of Best Friends facilities in the U.S.

The 21,000-square-foot facility will offer high quality dog and cat boarding and daycare, grooming services, dog training, a specialty pet retail boutique and an on-site veterinary clinic. The facility, which is expected to open in December, will be located at One Brockway Place. Renovations to the facility are expected to begin this month.

"This will be no ordinary boarding kennel," says Dennis Dolan, President and CEO of Best Friends Pet Care, Inc. "Our goal is to bring dog and cat lovers in Westchester County a clean, multi-service pet facility that provides the very highest quality care for pets. Our new White Plains Pet center will be designed to offer pets a safe environment with all of the amenities - from first rate lobby to air-conditioned suites to a full-service pet grooming salon."

Features of the Best Friends White Plains Pet center will include:

  • Doggy Village, with 194 deluxe two-room suites and 7 Vacation Villas for dogs;
  • Kitty City, with 36 multi-story cat condos;
  • a full-service grooming salon, with a separate bathing room and four stations for haircuts and styling;
  • a multi-purpose room for doggy daycare and training programs;
  • an on-site veterinary clinic to provide health care services; and
  • a retail boutique offering top-quality pet treats, toys and accessories.

Best Friends is expected to bring between 20 and 35 full and part time jobs to the community including pet care and customer service positions. The company expects to begin hiring in the fall.

"We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring our services to White Plains," adds Dolan. "This is a city whose leadership understands that pets are part of the family. Mayor Joseph Delfino is clearly committed to making White Plains a pet-friendly community, and his administration was instrumental in our decision to open in White Plains."
