(Seguin) — A new pet spa and resort is now open in Seguin, and it is raising the bar when it comes to the services offered for local dogs. Pet owners looking for more ways to pamper their pups might want to head over to the Uptown Collar, located in the 1100 block of North Camp Street next door to ZDT’s Amusement Park.
Owner Tasha Montez says their goal was to offer a unique experience for dog owners, who want to make sure that their pets get not only high-quality services, but also services that previously were unavailable here in Seguin. It’s a space where dogs thrive in a safe and loving environment.
“I wanted to create something that is unique and very boutiquey. Something that is safe, that is clean, (and) that is fun. I think we’ve been able to do that. We have a pretty good day play area where dogs can come in for the day, have fun with their buddies, then go home, rest, do their work when they go home and just enjoy (themselves). Then for overnights — when people are either on business or spring break or travel stuff like that, (I want) them to be able to just leave their pets with us (and) they know that they’re safe and they’re loved. When they come back, they’re going to be ready to do their work as they always do — loving their families,” said Montez.
Montez says another unique service offered at Uptown Collar is a chance for individuals to utilize their state-of-the-art bath area, which offers you a chance to give your dog an upscale spa treatment.
“Our Urban Bath and Blowout Bar is actually the only one in Seguin. It is incredibly helpful when you have larger dogs. So, bathing your pups in the bathtub is not always the best orthopedic focus on your back, your hips and all of that. So, I wanted to create something because I have the big guy, Walter, and I wanted to create something where you can come bath them and make it safe for you. We have the products, we have the blow dryers, and we have the towels. You can bathe your pup well and go home. We’ll take care of the rest,” said Montez.
Montez says they also have an expanding retail section, where you can pick up collars and other special items that are unique to their pet pampering business.
Montez, who spent years in the healthcare field, says she wanted to try something different, and she wanted to create something that was special for Seguin. She says they offer unique quality experiences for these important members of our families. She says that’s the essence of what they do at Uptown Collar.
“I want them to think quality. I want them to think that it feels safe, and that those are some individuals that I’m comfortable leaving my pup with. I would like for it to be a unique boutique experience, because I think that’s something that our pups deserve. It’s not just overnight stays or day plays. We’re actually starting to look at different services. So, we will probably be working with some of our non-profits doing puppy yoga on Saturdays. My aunt is a retired librarian, and we might do a Saturday book reading, because Walter is actually a certified therapy dog. So, I know the kids absolutely would love coming with the pups. So, being able to create something like that, that is just sort of a social gathering area, because our pets are essential to our lives, and so it’s nice to be able to have a place where we can join them,” said Montez.
Montez says folks have to come out and see the Day Play area, Boutique Suites, the Urban Bath & Blow Out Bar, and the other specialized spaces that they have set up for your pups. She says people should stop by and check it out and discover the warm, inclusive and luxurious amenities offered at Uptown Collar.
Montez says they’re not just expanding the services that are available to pet owners in the area, but they are also building a space where people can come and get to know other people who also care deeply about their pets. It’s one of the reasons why Uptown Collar hosted several non-profit pet service organizations and other pet vendors, in a special event that they held recently. She says it was an attempt to shine a spotlight on some of the other services and organizations that are available here in the Seguin area. Stay tuned as the Seguin Daily News shares more on some of those organizations during part two of this story. That story will be featured later this week.
