About Boomer's Beach
A Bit About Boomer
Meet our best friend: Boomer.
Boomer was a goofy goldendoodle who filled every day with adventure, laughter and unconditional love. He was a dog that could do it all — play ball, go for a swim, dress up in silly outfits or curl up on the couch for a cuddle.
Boomer was one of a kind, but he helped us recognize that all dogs are truly unique. His welcoming spirit now shapes our philosophy at Boomer’s Beach: no matter the size, energy level or personality, every dog who walks through our doors becomes one of Boomer’s best friends.
Leading the Pack
Eric Graver is a local business owner with an unexpected past. After graduating from Mizzou, his career started off in broadcast sports at 13WREX and WIFR. His days were filled with interviews, sound bites and game highlights — but eventually he craved a change of pace.
In 2025, Eric took the reins of Boomer’s Beach (formerly The Water Bowl) from his parents and hasn’t looked back since. He brings his trademark energy to the Beach, creating a space where all dogs feel safe, happy and truly at home.
