Dog Boss Resort 狗老大渡假會館
Dog Boss Resort is a place for your lovely dogs to run, swim and socialize with other dogs. It is located in Luzhu District, Taoyuan, Taiwan. If you haven’t been there and want to spend some good time with your dog and other owners, this is the place to be. There are three areas in this place. Here’s a short video showing you what it looks like.

How They Charge 收費
To enter Dog Boss Resort, minimum charge is applied to each dog and person. Right now the minimum charge per person or dog is NT$100 (about 3.3USD).
The staff will ask you if you want to enter the swimming pool area at the entrance. If you do, each dog will be charged extra payment according to their size. Right now they charge NT$250 for each dog weighing under 15 kilos and NT$350 for each dog weighing 16 kilos and above. Owners can only go into the pool when you acompany your dog. The pools are only for the boss – your dog to swim, not for owners.
Dining Area 用餐區
Minimum charge NT$100 per person and dog needs to be used to order a drink or meal in dining area. For example, my husband and I ordered a drink each and a meat ball meal for our dog Shadow. That’s $300 in total, which is deducted from the total minimum charge for us. You can choose not to let your dog swim and only use the grass area and dining area. It’s also fun to watch all the other dogs swim.
Grass Area 草地區
Walking through the dining area, you’ll see the grass area in the back. They separate big dog area from small dog area.
There’s a seating area on the side for you to enjoy your drink or meal there while watching your dog making friends with other dogs. As soon as you go the grass area, you’ll see their staff with a professional camera trying to catch the great moments of all the dogs there. They upload these pictures to their Facebook fan page on a daily basis. You can download and save the pictures on your own. And the best of all is that the picture service is free!
Rules:
In this place, dogs are the boss, which means their staff takes pictures for dogs, not their owners. So when your dog enjoys the time in this area, please step away and let the staff take pictures of your dog. In the mean time, always keep an eye on your dog and see if they need your help.
Swimming Pool Area 游泳區
To enter the swimming pool area, make sure you already paid for your dog and show the staff the receipt at the gate to the pools. Also take your do to pee and poo at the grass area and rinse your dog at the gate. You can either rent a life vest for your dog or simply use the leash to assist your dog when swimming. Their staff can give you tips on how to guide your dog.
Swimming can be fun or frightening no matter this is the first time for your dog or not. Make sure you understand the risk of letting your dog swim. You’re 100% responsible for your dog’s safety. This is a great opportunity to build a strong bond with your dog.
Read before Swimming:
- If your dog has heart disease or epilepsy, swimming can be extremely dangerous.
- Your dog might have diarrhea or pee with myosin (visually red) after swimming due to the intense exercise.
- Avoid food 3 hours prior to swimming, and let your dog eat at least one hour after swimming so their body can adjust to it.
- Make sure you take your dog to the grass area and let it pee and poo before swimming.
- Throwing your dog into the pool is strictly prohibited. Water going into their lung can be deadly.
- Our friendly staff can assist you and teach you how to guide your dog. Please let us know when you need help.
- Always let your dog leave the pool from the stairs since letting it climb up the pool can be harmful to its shoulders and nails. Please help your dog if it tries to leave the pool from the side.
- Let your dog get used to the water little by little since their instinct is to get away from water.
