Under new ownership (August 2019)
Fast Fido specializes in mid-day trips to a beautiful farm outside Ann Arbor.
The farm has a partially wooded, one acre play area that is completely fenced in and includes a water pump and a shelter.
The play time is one hour, plus travel time, so your dog will be out of the house two to four hours, depending on where you live.
* We pick up and drop off your dog.
* Your dog gets to play on grass in a big open area which is better for his joints. No small rooms or cement floors.
* Dog day cares house dozens of dogs. We have far fewer dogs, creating an environment that is peaceful, not chaotic.
* We provide routine and structure through consistency and expectations. We believe in calm and assertive leadership.
*We are certified in Pet First Aid by the American Red Cross.
*We are insured for your home and dog by PCI.
* We have over 15 years of experience working with packs.
- Is water available for the dogs?
Yes! We have a water pump that supplies unlimited fresh water.
- Where do you take the dogs?
We go to a farm located just outside Pittsfield Township. This is private property.
- Does my dog have to be a certain size?
No, we take all sizes.
- My dog doesn't really care about other dogs, but likes to be outside. Are they a fit for you service?
Yes! As long as your dog is tolerant of the other dogs, he will still benefit from going.
- Will my dog be safe?
Yes! All dogs must pass a social interaction test with other dogs at a public dog park prior to the first farm visit. We do n

- Will my dog be safe?
Yes! All dogs must pass a social interaction test with other dogs at a public dog park prior to the first farm visit. We do not accept aggressive dogs or breeds known to be aggressive (pit bulls, Akitas, etc.). Dogs will be dogs while playing but injuries are very uncommon.
- Are you insured?
Yes! For both your home and dog.

There are no farm animals there, but there's a barn and crops :) The play area is one acre, fenced in, with trees, grass, and a shelter.

- I don't have a need for regular service, but I do have a need for service here and there, can I still use your service?
Yes! Just text us the days you are requesting. You can even text us the same day by 10 am, if you have a last-second need. Please keep in mind that we have a limited amount of spots and regular customers have priority.
We have a doggy cam at home, and we see how happy our dogs are to see the Fast Fido owner come get them and how exhausted they are when they get home. The pups are happier to be in a more natural environment with lots of area to run (as opposed to the concrete "cell" that was offered at the daycare).

Fast Fido is outstanding! We have three dogs with incredibly different temperaments and needs, and Fast Fido's owner is endlessly patient and accommodating with each of them. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and unique option to exercise your pup!

My puppy goes to Fast Fido a couple of times a week and absolutely loves it. She comes home totally exhausted after running around outdoors with fellow pups all day. It is so easy to have my puppy picked up and taken on a day trip and then dropped back off at home. The owner is also very flexible with scheduling. I honestly cannot recommend this service more.
