^[1]Traveling during the holidays and not able to take your pet? Or maybe you’re looking for a place to take your pup for some doggy fun while you are at work. Check out Pampered Pets Inn, located off Interstate 77 at exit 33 in Mooresville.

Recently acquired by Lake Norman Pet Spa and Resort Corporation, Pampered Pets Inn, inspired by the look, feel and amenities of a magnificent Tuscan Spa, offers area residents an affordable high-end alternative for caring for their dogs and cats when they are away. 

Founder Terry Bermani created Pampered Pets Inn in 2007 in response to a growing need for premium boarding options. Bermani built the business based on her holistic approach to the well-being and luxurious treatment of pets in an interactive and fun setting. Now, Bermani is selling her business in order to join her husband of 31 years in California. Concerned with finding just the right buyers, Bermani carefully vetted all offers.

“I was looking for someone who shared my deep passion for animals. Tony and Judy DaDante fit the bill. I am so grateful that they have stepped forward,” states Bermani. “I am completely comfortable turning Pampered Pets Inn over to them and I am confident that they will take excellent care of our clientele and expand upon my vision. I will be spending the next 60 days with the DaDante’s to ensure a smooth transition.”

Judy DaDante has developed skills akin to a dog whisperer, having worked at Nashville’s premiere pet spa and raising dogs for nearly 35 years, including three generations of Golden Retrievers. 

 “Throughout our lives, we have raised, saved, spoiled and loved dogs and cats across the globe. It’s what we do and who we are. We wanted to own a business where we could offer an unsurpassed level of service to our true clientele – the pets.”
 
Immediate plans are underway to expand the service and value propositions which include the introduction of a  fleet of pet taxi’s offering convenient pick-up, check-in and return transportation for busy pet parents, curbside express check-in, installing hi-tech webcams throughout the facility, comforting massage and acupuncture, a doggy themed swimming pool, and play areas with hypo-allergenic mud-free K-9 grass.

“Whether they come for the day or spend their whole vacation at Pampered Pets Inn, your pets are an important part of the family and deserve the very best care and attention when they are our guests,” emphasizes DaDante. 

In addition to boarding and day care, Pampered Pets Inn offers free puppy socialization classes, “yappy” hours and birthday parties. For more information about the facility, please visit www.pamperedpetsinn.com ^[2].
