Black Birch Farm

We just picked up my parents dog who stayed there for 5 days and within an hour of getting home he was throwing up white foam every few minutes. Now it’s 6 hours later and the poor guy is still throwing up. It’s not food he is throwing up but it went from white foam to now just clear liquid. This dog is a year old and usually full of energy and now lethargic and vomiting every time he gets up from laying down. He was not like this when we brought him in and they will be hearing from me as soon as they open tomorrow. Hope they are willing to pay vet expenses. Update. Took the dog to the vet the next morning and was diagnosed with a pretty severe case of kennel cough. They had to give him fluids, and an anti nausea shot, antibiotics, and a cough pill. I called Black Birch to tell them a

We have used Black Birch for kennel, doggy daycare, and nail clipping. The staff there is always very communicative and they take such great care of our crazy dog. They all know him by name! If there’s ever a problem they work to rectify it right away and our dog always comes home happy, but is also always happy when we go back there and runs right in. I’ve also seen the care they take with other dogs with specific needs and temperaments and it’s great they work to meet the needs of each dog.

THINK TWICE * After using Black Birch Farm’s services for a couple of years, I will no longer be sending my dogs to this facility due to health and safety concerns for the animals and employees who work there. I recently spent about 8 hours in this kennel because I was interested in buying the business and wanted to learn how the kennel was run. What I found shocked me. These are some of the red flags I found: There was a dish of rat poison stored on the same racks where bowls of food were kept. There was nothing preventing cross contamination if a rodent walked on or around the filled dog dishes. There was mouse feces in the containers where the food for boarded dogs was kept. There was no soap to wash the shared dog dishes. There was no hot water. Dogs were being groomed in ice cold

Let me preface this by saying that I am an admittedly difficult person to please. Our dogs just returned home from a week long visit at Black Birch while my wife and I took a cruise. Upon pickup they were clean and great smelling, healthy, well fed, and happy. Our dogs are large, rambunctious homebodies and we had never left them in a kennel for more than a night so my wife and I were a bit anxious to leave them. After seeing how well cared for our pups were during this trip, we will travel worry free in the future. Not only were the dogs clean and well cared for, but the customer service was great. The staff was able to collect my payment information over the phone since my mother-in-law was picking the dogs up and I didn't want her to get stuck with the bill at the end. The staff

Recently took our dog to Black Birch for boarding while we went on vacation. This was his first time away from family and around others. George calmed my worries and assured me that he would be okay. I was sent photos of him and he looked happy. I am grateful for finding them and now know he has a home in case we need to travel without him. Thank you so much to everyone at Black Birch Farm for taking care of my baby Kane.
