Helping Pets and Pet Owners Alike

Prairie Path began because we saw an opportunity to give pets, and their owners, better lives. We understand the importance of interaction and exercise for pets and as busy pet owners ourselves, we too appreciate a service that meets the demands of every day life. From dog walking to pet visits, from training* to grooming*, we’re here when you need us most. Live your life and relax knowing that your pet is loving and living theirs too!
