Paws & Pints - Des Moines, Iowa

So cute!! I love that they decorated every inch of the facility! They have a small dog and big dog area in case you are considering going with a little pup. 10/10 would recommend to go. Please make sure you bring your vaccination paperwork to register in the system

Paws and Pints is the best for daycare, boarding, and grooming! I have an anxious dog and he absolutely LOVES coming here. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to board him anywhere because he is so anxious with other people. I brought him to training there, got him used to the suites through their day stay hours, and eventually worked him up to boarding a day or two here and there. He just got home from being boarded there for a week and I could not be happier! He loves the workers there. He was well cared for, got his medication, and is so happy. Thank you all for being so awesome!

First time visiting for puppy night out! Everyone was very welcoming. We will definitely be back when the weather is warmer! Loved that they had live music on Friday night too.

We were staying overnight at Walnut Woods on our road trip back home to IL. P&P was close enough for us to bring our 2 boxers for some fun. We really enjoyed it. Staff were nice, attentive, and have very clear instructions on how things operated. Grounds were very clean for such a large place - the occasional poop piles from inattentive owners in the larger grass area, but overall good. I have friends who go to places like this in the metro areas they live in and have always wanted to try one. So glad we did! I wish Peoria IL wasn't so behind the times and could support a business like this!

This place is such a happy place for dogs and dog owners alike. There is a small restaurant inside and a bar outside too. We have been here a few times with our little mini poodle Brady. We live in Quad cities and wish we had something like this here. Since our daughter is in DesMoines for her college we were able to go to this awesome place a few times. There is a small entry fee and if its your first time make sure you take vaccination records for the doggy. You will not be disappointed.

Love the environment, able to relax while my dog has a blast playing with other dogs. Staff is good about stopping behaviors that may happen, cleaning after dogs go to the bathroom and having interactions with all the dogs! Even their cute little pet shop is nice, if you haven’t checked it out- I highly suggest you do. I bought the annual membership and enjoy having all the perks and convenience of lodging, doggy day care and a place to hang out and have a drink with my dog.

Last night a group of six of us met for conversation and a meal. Non of us had ever met before.

The park part is impressive, the food is not.

The food is too expensive for the quality. One person did not eat her burger. I asked her why and she said it was undercooked. I asked her why she didn't send it back. She didn't want to make a fuss around people she just met. Another lady didn't eat her chicken wrap. She said something was "off" about it. I will say the fries were delicious.

I was a waitress in my younger years so I felt it necessary to have a conversation with the waitress because this is a learning opportunity.

After the other women left, I told her about the under cooked burger. She said she noticed it hadn't been eaten. I suggested that if she picks up plates and notices the food hasn't been eaten, she should ask the person if the food was okay. She thanked me for the feedback.

Some people just aren't comfortable sending food back, especially around people they don't know well.

If I ever eat there again, I will stick to just eating the fries. They seem safe.

I really enjoyed watching all the dogs play and interacting with the pets and their people.

I hope the management improves the restaurant's food quality and trains the staff to recognize when someone is not satisfied with their food because some people aren't comfortable complaining, for whatever reason.

The food there is too expensive to go home hungry.

From the moment we opened the front door at Paws and Pints, the experience was incredible. We drove almost 3 hours to attend their PupChella event and their facility and hospitality was amazing. We had a bit of a hiccup with a vaccination for one of our pups, and the staff was super gracious and even helped recommend local vets to get our problem sorted. Katie and the rest of the staff were so sweet and our server, Ashley, was attentive and knowledgeable.
The whole placed is geared for both pets and their people to have a great time and we sure did. The human food and drinks were delicious and so was the food for dogs because our dog inhaled his.
We had a blast and Kai and Bodhi can’t wait to come back!
