My oldest dog had never been kenneled I would always have a friend stay with him at home if needed. But we just moved to WA for my spouses job and we had a 80th birthday party to attend out state. So I quickly began looking for a kennel. I got zero communication while the dogs were there no one would answer the phones, When I came to pick up all 3 of my dogs i knocked for 15 minutes and the front door was locked I tried calling over and over to have someone let me inside! I got zero feedback on how they did, did my oldest take his medication well while I was away- did he hate the experience? Was he scared or crying all week? Nothing NO feedback. I asked a couple questions and the front desk person had nothing to say for how the stay went. So I got my dogs things and never returned. Later t

Kirby da Newf has been going to doggy daycare for about a month at County Kennels. She is beyond excited when she shows up and tired when I pick her up. Being a six month old puppy, going to Country Kennels has give Kirby an opportunity to socialize with other dogs. I was referred by a friend who has taken their dog there for sometime now and have recommended them to a couple of my friends.

If you have a WORKING dog, a DOG reactive, HUMAN reactive, ESCAPE ARTIST, PROBLEM PET, our simple household couch potato, THIS is the place for your pet! I will never in my entire lifetime trust anyone else with my dogs besides Country Kennels! I know that when I am on vacation, my guys are in a safe location, with their boundaries being respected and they're safely being taken care of in a clean, well maintained environment by competent, caring employees 24 hours a day! They have indoor/outdoor runs available. Short or long term care. Always accepting reservations and you can book in advance. Day care options are also available. They also offer "hands off" care for those "spicy" guests. You can't just leave your pets anywhere when you go out of town and you definitely need to be able to l

Never bringing my dog here again. She came back with chafing on her paws and snout. They told me that they just now noticed her injuries when I picked her up. Shows that they aren't even watching her. The chainlink fence is not safe for her mouth. She also came back very weak, skinny, could barely walk, and she had labored breathing at night. Very scary she was not the same dog I came in with

Mrs. Roland , I have been boarding my dog here for a few years. I feel bad that you lost your pet however you can not point the blame on the kennel without taking some of that blame yourself. You should have known that the immune system on your elderly dog was already low but you also stated he was on medication prior to the stay so there was already something going on. I know the kennel requires a kennel cough shot but there are so many strains it's impossible to vaccinate against all of them. This being said everytime we take our dogs out of our house we are taking the chance of them catching kennel cough. Unless other dogs came down with it while at the kennel it's rude of you to throw accusations for all we know you may have brought it to the kennel and your dogs starting showing syste
