Finally a resort for Gordon & Midas

It's about time....

The only thing that has made life in Pleasantville one notch below perfect has been the lack of one important amenity, a quality pet resort.

Clegg opened Pet Nation Lodge, a $3 million, 20,000-square-foot pet care facility last month at the former Matthew 25 Ministries building on Loveland-Madeira Road.


The business includes 70 luxury “lodges” equipped with cherry-wood beds and TVs, including eight with Web cams so owners can check on pets online from anywhere.


It has a chef to mix flank steak, salmon or shrimp into meals based on customer desire.

The lodge has a 7,000-square-foot indoor play area with skylights and banana trees.

Clegg says Pet Nation offers “the ultimate pet care” services mainly to dogs for $34 per day and $19 per day for cats. It even offers pets extras like massage therapy, book reading and a door-to-door limousine service for an extra fee.

“We provide guilt-free trips for pet owners so that when they can go on vacation or business, the last thing they have to worry about is their pets,” says Clegg.

Clegg opened the Pet Nation Lodge in Loveland after deciding not to open on Snider Road in Mason last August.

He said the Loveland site saved him $1 million because he was able to buy the church building and convert it into a pet-care facility instead of building a new one in Mason.

Strong demographics also prompted the Loveland facility. Within a 5-mile radius of his business, Clegg says there are 37,000 single-family homes with a combined yearly income of $250,000.


At least now, Midas and I have a place to get our nails done, massages, hair styling, etc. Maybe they'll even wax my eye brows. It just makes me feel all giddy like, say, John Edwards.
