Petropolis announces second location in St. Charles and new push towards enrichment

ST. LOUIS, MO – January 20, 2020 – Every year, American pet owners spend over $70 billion on their pets’ care. To meet the growing demand and higher standards set by pet owners, Petropolis is opening their second location and first empowered pet care facility in St. Charles later this spring.

The new Petropolis, located in the former Vatterott College building at 3550 W. Clay Street, will offer all the company’s core services – boarding, doggy daycare, training, and grooming – in a new state-of-the-art facility designed to put pets’ needs first. This new location will spearhead the company’s push towards enriching pets and educating the community.

Indoors, Petropolis St. Charles will feature large dog boarding rooms for a low-stress boarding environment and a grooming salon with individual, private stations to reduce anxiety during the grooming process. Their cat boarding space, set to be the St. Louis Area’s largest, will be entirely separate from the dog boarding area, creating a more relaxing environment for their feline clients.

Along with the 32,000 square foot building, Petropolis St. Charles will also boast over 33,000 square feet of outdoor play yards complete with tunnels, hills, and water features. The new play yards were inspired by the success of Canine Cove, the Chesterfield location’s dogs-only water park.

Petropolis will be sharing part of the space with The Academy of Pet Careers, which offers education for prospective dog trainers, groomers, and vet assistants. They will share a large event arena, which they plan to use for programs aimed at educating the public about proper pet care and enrichment.

With this new facility, Petropolis hopes to inspire pet parents to live more empowered lives with their pets. To learn more about Petropolis’s mission and services, visit their website at www.petropolis.com or call (636)537-2322.

Petropolis Builds Multi-Million Dollar Pet Empowerment Center

ST. LOUIS, MO – June 16, 2020 – The first Pet Empowerment Center in the St. Louis Area is now open for business in St. Charles. Petropolis St. Charles is a multi-million dollar facility designed entirely with pets’ needs in mind and dedicated to providing pet-centric, enriching care for dogs and cats.

The Petropolis’s new second location at 3550 West Clay Street offers all their services – boarding, daycare, grooming, and training – in a state-of-the-art facility unlike any other in the Midwest. With spacious dog and cat lodging rooms, a low-stress grooming salon, and a team dedicated to Pet Empowerment, Petropolis St. Charles provides the most safe, enriching pet care experience in the area.

From Interstate 70, commuters can see Petropolis St. Charles’s crown jewel: their 33,000 square feet of outdoor play yards. Dogs visiting for daycare and boarding can swim under a waterfall, wade through a river, run through tunnels, and jump on a trampoline, all while under the supervision of trained staff.

With the new facility comes an even greater push towards Pet Empowerment, the process of raising confident, happy pets by setting them up for success. Petropolis shares the building with The Academy of Pet Careers, a trade school for prospective veterinary and pet care professionals that also provides continued education and a wealth of resources for the Petropolis team. The two businesses share a large event arena, which they will use to host events and seminars for the public and local pet professionals.

Petropolis is also taking precautions to protect their human guests from COVID-19. They offer curbside pickup and drop-off for all pets. They also host individual tours to anyone who would like to see the impressive new facility firsthand.

With this new facility, Petropolis hopes to inspire others to live more empowered lives with their pets. To learn more about Petropolis’s mission and services, visit their website at www.petropolis.com or call (636)537-2322.

Updated Procedures Regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

We at Petropolis are happy to be open and nearly fully operational at this time. We are still taking preventative measures to protect our staff and clients from the spread of COVID-19.

  • We are still operating via curbside pickup and drop-off only. Just give us a call when you arrive and a staff member will meet you at your vehicle.
  • Our team is regularly disinfecting commonly-used areas throughout the day, and we are ramping up our regular cleaning and disinfecting routines.
  • We have asked our team members to stay home if they are sick or have come into contact with someone who is sick, and we ask that our clients do the same.
  • All dogs entering the building will receive a disinfecting bath. The virus can travel on pets’ fur and belongings, so upon arrival all dogs receive a quick disinfecting bath with a peroxide-based shampoo. We will also be disinfecting their belongings (leash, harness, etc.) upon entry.
  • All staff are screened upon arrival, and they are required to wear masks and practice social distancing while at work. Because the sight of people in masks can be stressful to some pets, we will be actively working to acclimate the dogs in our care.

We hope that you will join us in practicing caution as businesses and public spaces open back up. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call us at (636)537-2322.
