Bone Adventure

read moreWelcome to The Bone Adventure, "A Best Friend's Place to Play"! Established in 2003, The Bone Adventure has become the dog daycare, boarding, and grooming choice for thousands of Orange County families. We strive to make our environment safe, secure, and fun so that your dog can enjoy his time away from you, and you can ease your mind and make the most of your travel, career, hobbies, and friends. We have two Costa Mesa locations, Bone Home and Bone Backyard. Both locations offer indoor and outdoor grounds, complete with K9 Grass (custom grass for a dog environment), water features, customized sleeping arrangements, and enough dogs to keep your dog engaged, whether he is here just for the day, or boarding for a month!

read moreBone Home (1629 Superior, Costa Mesa) is the ideal location for older dogs, puppies, and dogs that need that extra bit of help to build up their socialization skills (you could call it the "high school" level of socialization). With a more mellow and home-like environment, Bone Home offers the perfect balance of play and relaxation for your dog and is excellent for long term boarding stays. The Bone Backyard (2700 Bristol, Costa Mesa) is better for extremely socialized dogs, dogs who love to swim, and dogs who need that extra bit of running stimulation ("university" level of socialization)!

read moreBone Home is our flagship location nestled in between two car washes in the ever changing industrial area of Costa Mesa/Newport Beach. Aptly named for its "home-like" environment, Bone Home provides the perfect combination of relaxation, exercise and love for your dog. Whether 6 months or 10 years old, there is a great deal of excitement when they see the driveway at The Bone Adventure. After the first few visits, owners tell us that their dogs literally pull them up the driveway! Speaking of our driveway, after the first few visits, the owners tell us that they have learned how to drive into and out of our challenging parking environment at Bone Home!

A: We try not to be sticklers, but we hope you understand our need to stick to our policies regarding charges related to pickup times. A: Our daycare packages are paid in full up front, so just let us know that you want to start on a package. Once we take payment you are all set, and each time that your dog comes in we will automatically deduct a day (or a!) from their package. A: Benefits of a package: Substantially discounted daycare and boarding costs, quick and easy check-outs, and statements at the end of each package to show you where your days went!

read moreA: The best way for you to prepare your pup for overnight boarding, at any facility, is to get them comfortable with the staff and their new environment first. After your initial temperament test, we recommend starting your pup with a couple half or full days of daycare before leaving them for an overnight. This will help them develop a positive association with our facility and will ultimately make them more comfortable for their stay. If your dog has never boarded before, we also recommend doing a one-night trial stay before your trip to see how they will do during the night.

read moreA: Please call to schedule an interview appointment at either location! You can plan on being with us for about 15 minutes while we get your dog started, but plan on leaving your pup with us for a couple of hours. We will slowly introduce your dog into our pack a few dogs at a time, to ensure the highest level of comfort that is possible. At pickup that day we will give you a run-down on how they did, and assuming all goes well you will be welcome to bring them back any time after that to either location.

read morePlaying with and loving on perfectly well-mannered dogs in the warm California sunshine without a care in the world must be the easiest, most relaxing, fun job in the world, right? Playing and loving on dogs? Of course! But like any good parent, working as a dog supervisor at The Bone Adventure requires you to not only be loving but stern as well to correct problem behaviors for the safety of everyone. Sure, most of the time! But sometimes that sunshine is over 90 degrees, and you are needed to stand out in it for long periods of time!
