Pet Lodge owner Matt Sames is anticipating a May opening for his newest location at 3320 Route 9 in Saratoga.
The business will offer dog and cat boarding, doggie daycare, pet grooming and obedience training classes. The new 6,000-square-foot building was built on land Sames purchased more than three years ago.
Sames opened the first Pet Lodge 12 years ago in Clifton Park. His desire to start his own business developed while he was working as general sales manager at WRGB Channel 6. It was then that Plattsburgh veterinarian Dr. Tom Brown approached him about going into business together. The two men have been friends for over 40 years.
