Membership 101: Social vs. Preferred - Which Fits Your Pack?
Which Dougie's Membership Is Right for Your Pack?
If you're at Dougie's more than once or twice a month, a membership almost always pays for itself, and it comes with perks you can't get with a day pass. But with two membership levels to choose from, it's worth knowing exactly what you're getting before you sign up. Here's the breakdown.
Social Membership: $35/month or $350/year
Social is the entry point into the Dougie's pack, and it's a great fit if you visit regularly but don't need every bell and whistle. Social membership includes:
Unlimited yard access
Members Monday deals
5% off food and beverage
10% off retail and merch
$5 grooming credit at The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel
Additional dogs at 50% off
If you're the kind of person who shows up for Singo on Tuesdays, grabs a drink on the patio a couple times a month, and wants your dog to have an off-leash spot that isn't just a dog park, Social gets you there without paying for perks you won't use.
Preferred Membership: $45/month or $450/year
Preferred is built for the regulars who treat Dougie's like a second home, and for pet parents who want their Dougie's membership to extend into more of their dog's care at The Ark. Preferred membership includes everything in Social, plus:
Bring-a-friend for free on every visit
10% off food and beverage (double the Social discount)
Extra 5% off daycare at The Ark
$10 grooming credit at The Ark (double the Social credit)
Priority boarding at The Ark
Plush bed upgrade during boarding stays
The bring-a-friend perk alone makes Preferred an easy call if you regularly bring people along, since it lets you bring one guest and their dog for free every visit. Combine that with the deeper discounts and the boarding perks at The Ark, and Preferred is built for pet parents who see Dougie's and The Ark as part of their everyday routine, not just an occasional treat.
So Which One Fits Your Pack?
Ask yourself two questions. How often are you actually at Dougie's, and how often do you use services at The Ark? If you're a weekly regular who also boards, grooms, or does daycare at The Ark, Preferred will save you more than the price difference. If Dougie's is more of a treat-yourself hangout a few times a month, Social gives you real value without the upgrade.
Either way, both memberships include unlimited yard access, so your pup never has to sit out.
