The HBP End-of-Summer Syllabus: Extra Credit, Long Weekends & Very Clean Dogs

The human kids are back in school.

The dogs have noticed the backpacks. They’ve noticed everyone leaving earlier in the morning. They’ve definitely noticed that their summer social calendar has taken a hit. So naturally, HBP made them a syllabus.

Over the next two weeks, we're closing out summer with Honor Roll Week, ridiculously easy extra credit, Labor Day vacations, and a brand-new reason to send your dog to the principal's office smelling fantastic.

Pencils down. Here's what you need to know.

🎓 Assignment #1: Make the HBP Honor Roll

First up: Honor Roll Week. For the pups who take attendance very seriously, we're rewarding our most dedicated daycare scholars.

Attend daycare Monday through Friday during Honor Roll Week and your pup earns:

Honor Roll Certificate: For the refrigerator, obviously.

Social Media Spotlight: Finally, the recognition they deserve.

$10 HBP Account Credit: Turns out perfect attendance does pay.

Entry to WIN a $100 HBP Account Credit: Really, it's Valedictorian behavior.

But There Will Be Extra Credit.

Because no HBP school week would be complete without spirit days.

CRAZY HAIR DAY: We're looking for bedhead, mohawks, pigtails and whatever happens when you give a doodle humidity.

Participate and earn a $10 credit toward a bath or grooming service.

Convenient, considering what you just did to their hair.

SPORTS DAY: Jerseys on. Rivalries activated.

Wear your favorite team gear and score $5 OFF daycare.

Your dog does not actually understand football, but they are VERY committed to your team.

SCHOOL COLORS DAY: Rep your school colors and receive $5 OFF daycare + an entry to WIN a $50 HBP Account Credit.

Mascot costumes may result in excessive attention from the HBP team.

Class registration is open → Book those daycare days now.

🧳 Assignment #2: Immediately Take a Vacation

And just like that, school is out again. Hello, Labor Day. If you're using the long weekend for one last summer getaway, your dog would also like to formally submit a vacation request. Approved.

Book Labor Day Boarding by August 28 → Get $25 OFF

While you're road-tripping, lake-going, pool-floating or aggressively doing absolutely nothing, your pup can spend their long weekend doing what they'd choose anyway:

Playing with friends.

Getting attention from their favorite HBP humans.

Going to bed exhausted.

Waking up and doing it all again.

Frankly, their itinerary may be better than yours.

Book your Labor Day boarding stay by August 28 and receive $25 OFF.

🫧 Final Assignment: Please Bathe the Student.

Dogs can be like a 12 year old middle schooler: stinky from all the fun. Five days of daycare. Labor Day boarding. Houston in August. We don't need to explain this one. Fortunately, bath time at HBP just got a serious upgrade. Meet Hydra.

We're introducing Hydra, our new luxury salon-grade grooming line and this is not your average quick shampoo and send 'em home situation. Hydra's professional formulas gently cleanse while helping hydrate and revitalize your pup's coat, leaving it soft with a natural shine.

Salon-grade ingredients, including oatmeal extract, help soothe dry, itchy skin, while Hydra's signature fragrance delivers the kind of fresh-pup smell that makes you temporarily forget what they rolled in last week. And because the formulas are designed to rinse easily and dry quickly, pups spend less time bathing and drying and more time getting back to the important stuff. Like being a dog.

Boarding? Add the Spa.

Your dog goes on vacation.

Your dog plays hard.

Your dog comes home freshly groomed.

This is how re-entry should work.

Add grooming to your Labor Day boarding reservation and we'll send your pup home soft, shiny, fresh and ready for their post-vacation nap.

Daycare? Same Deal.

Drop them off for daycare and add a grooming appointment.

They play.

We bathe.

You pick up a tired AND clean dog.

Possibly the greatest two-for-one in parenting.

Your Homework

Don't worry. It's easy.

🎓 Book Honor Roll Week daycare. Come all five days to earn the full Honor Roll treatment and don't forget the theme days.

🧳 Book Labor Day boarding by August 28. Save $25 on your pup's Labor Day stay.

🫧 Add grooming to boarding or daycare.Be among the first to try our new luxury Hydra grooming products.

And just like that, your dog's next two weeks are planned.

A+ work, parents.
