Our Philosophy
Caring for a pet can improve your physical and mental health, reduce stress, and increase happiness. It’s no wonder that humans and animals develop such an amazing lifetime bond. At PET DEGREE®, we understand that bond. That’s why we’ve consulted with expert trainers and veterinary specialists to create a unique dog training facility in Buffalo, NY. Pet Degree is designed to strengthen and nurture your relationship with your pet.
Whether you want to plan a special day with your pet in a fun, invigorating environment, you need a kennel that will treat your pet with care, you’re looking for top-notch dog obedience training, or you want meticulous dog grooming services to keep your pet looking great, Pet Degree has got you covered. Our staff is committed to providing the best experience possible for you and your cherished animal companion.
Doggy Daycare
Of course, you can’t spend every minute with your pet (as much as you might like to), so PET DEGREE® offers service dog day care to keep your pet happy and engaged while you’re away. Doggy daycare and group play provide the perfect opportunity for your pet to socialize with other dogs in a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment. Our highly trained staff will welcome your pet for half-day or full-day stays, and we offer package deals for multiple days of play.

Dog Training
Our rigorous dog-training programs are designed to help human and pet develop and maintain a strong partnership. Maybe your new puppy needs a little obedience training, or maybe you’re seeking specialized training before entering your hardworking pup in competition. Our expert trainers offer a wide range of dog training classes that benefit pets and their humans:
- Basic obedience classes, from puppy to novice.
- Private and group dog training sessions
Obedience classes teach your dog the basics of good citizenship, while you learn the basics of responsible pet ownership.
