RECOVERY SHUTTLE
Orthopedic mattresses, infrared panels, calming music and scents.
ABOUT SIX HOURS OUTDOORS

02 — HOW A DAY RUNS
NINE HOURS YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
From pickup to drop-off, the whole day is built around your dog: how far they run, when they rest, what they get to explore. For once, nothing has to fit around your schedule.

03 — THE SHUTTLE
THE RECOVERY SHUTTLE. PRIVATE CABINS ONLY.
New York and New Jersey set strict standards for transporting animals commercially. We spent nine months studying those standards and the operators already working here, then went to a specialist engineering firm and had the interior designed from scratch to meet them. Everything past that point was added for the dogs.

10 — THE ALTERNATIVES
THREE OTHER WAYS TO FILL THE DAY.
AND WHAT EACH ONE GIVES.
Each of these solves a different problem, and for some dogs one of them is the right answer. Here is what each one gives, so you can decide.
DAYCARE
WHAT IT IS
Supervised indoor space, climate controlled, other dogs, group play.
WHAT IT ISN'T
Time outdoors. Four walls, a ceiling and air conditioning, all day.
BEST FOR
Dogs who want company and supervision more than exercise.
THE DOG PARK
WHAT IT IS
Free and close by.
WHAT IT ISN'T
Open ground. A small fenced yard, shared with everyone who came that day.
BEST FOR
Twenty minutes on a weekday evening.
A CITY WALK
WHAT IT IS
Someone who breaks up the day and takes your dog out.
WHAT IT ISN'T
Exertion. Twenty minutes on pavement.
BEST FOR
The midday gap.
A DAY OUT OF THE CITY
WHAT IT IS
A full day outdoors across thousands of acres of wild forest. Picked up at your door, brought back home.
WHAT IT ISN'T
A break in the day. It is the whole day, outdoors and on the move.
BEST FOR
Dogs who need a real day out, and owners who have no day to spare.
06 — THE RESEARCH
LONGER LIFE, BETTER DAYS.
OPEN GROUND, ALL YEAR.
01
Movement is a longevity factor
The Dog Aging Project, the largest study of canine aging in the United States, lists regular exercise alongside nutrition and environment as a key modifiable factor in how long dogs live.
nia.nih.gov — Dog Aging Project
02
Time outdoors changes measurable outcomes
An eight-week outdoor exercise program, jogging with their owners twice a week, lowered dogs' body condition scores, with no change to diet.
03
Stress shows up in the body
A study of 43,000 dogs found more than 84% showing signs of fear or anxiety. Veterinary associations link sustained stress to gastrointestinal, skin, respiratory and cardiac disease.
OUR PART
Movement and environment are among the factors that shape how long a dog lives. A day with us gives both in full: six hours of forest, water and open ground, on the days you choose.
YOU KEEP YOUR DAY. THEY GET THE ADVENTURE.
BOOK A FREE TRIAL DAY
01 — RECOGNITION
YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR DOG MORE.
YOUR WEEK DOESN'T ALLOW IT.
Your days are full: work, travel, the thousand small things. A real day outdoors takes a car, hours of driving and a free day, and those three rarely line up.
Your dog was built for more than the same rug and the same few blocks: something to chase, somewhere new to smell, room to move. Dogs are pack animals made to cover ground, and a full day outdoors is what lets them truly settle.
LESS THAN AN HOUR OUT, THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER WORLD.
THEIR WORLD TODAY
Four walls and a door they cannot open
Most of the day indoors, most days of the week
Two or three short walks, always the same streets
Hours of quiet, and no one to run with
A dog park usually means a small fenced yard, not open ground
You can take your coat off in summer. They cannot
In winter, salted and treated sidewalks underfoot
Parks are crowded, and lawns are often off limits
LESS THAN AN HOUR FROM YOUR DOOR
Eight thousand acres and no walls at all
8,000+ acres of open wild forest
Trails, creeks, ridgelines and open meadows
Good company for the whole day
About six hours outdoors to run, roam, climb and explore
Natural water for swimming and cooling off
New terrain, scents and discoveries on every trip
A tired dog by three, and a settled one by evening
YOUR DAY IS FULL. THEIRS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EMPTY.

IF YOUR DOG SPENDS THE DAY ALONE

The longest hours of their week can become the best ones.

No more waiting for the key

The hours by the door are replaced by a day that belongs to them, with a handler who knows their pace, their habits and their favourite trails.

Never left to themselves

Someone is beside them from the first minute to the last: water when they want it, shade when they need it, attention all day long.

Your mind at ease

The meeting runs late, the dinner goes on, and you never glance at the clock. Your dog is in good hands, and you know it.

On the days you choose, your dog is never alone for a minute. Start with a Free Trial Day.

05 — OUR STORY
EVERY GREAT JOURNEY
BEGINS WITH LOVE.
For us, it began with a small dog named Amour. Ruslan was nine years old when he lost his childhood companion to illness.
He kept asking the same question afterwards — why do dogs get so little time, and what could he do about it when he was old enough. That question turned into a promise: when life gave him the chance, he would build something that made dogs' days worth having.
Today the whole family is building Paws Impérial in honour of that promise. Ruslan, Lidia, and our two children, Timur and Milana.
We believe every dog deserves more than an ordinary walk — freedom, open country, real care and a day worth being tired from.
Thank you for trusting us with a small part of your dog's story.

SMART DOGS RESORTcoming soon
One day these trips end somewhere instead of turning around. A property of our own outside the city: forest, clean water and room to move. Overnight stays are planned there, once licensed.
Health checks and therapeutic massage. Swimming, grooming, organic food, recovery rooms. All of it included in the price.
IN PLANNING. NO LAND YET
We have no land yet, and we would rather you heard that from us. This is the reason the company exists, not a feature we are announcing. Every trip we run funds a piece of it.
If you want to help it happen sooner, you can chip in any amount toward the build. It is a contribution, not a deposit or a booking.
