Dogwood Pet Lodge

We have been using this facility for over 4 years. Our Husky is always excited to go, but Friday when we dropped him off he actually reached over the gate at the front desk and let himself in!!! I said to my husband this deserved a google review, as what better review than from the pup himself! Being husky owners we know it’s a difficult breed with separation anxiety and being extremely particular. Over the summer they overheat easily, so their covered outdoor areas are such a plus to us. Our pup has always been comfortable there and the staff had commented many times how hard he plays! Of note: this is a 45 minute drive for us each way and it’s totally worth it!

What a great expierence from start to finish! I have two beautiful dogs (husky and black lab) and dogwood relieved my anxiety of leaving them for vacation. The service is outstanding and my babies always look happy and healthy when I pick them up. From Jody the owner to michelle the manager and even Christina one of the staff. Everyone is kind, courteous and welcoming. Would most definetly recommend Dogwood pet lodge to anyone looking for dog boarding.

I live in the Ellicott City area and have a very anxious pup that I can't leave home for the day when I go to work. She can have a hard time at kennels and often needs a little extra patience and love from staff, and Dogwood is absolutely incredible. They worked with me to help her be comfortable and are so kind and patient. Highly recommend them for your pups!

Dropped my dog off at this facility not once but twice. Unfortunately, I did not have any other option the second time or else I would have taken her somewhere else. The first time I dropped my dog off there, her stay was 5 days long. When I picked my dog up she was covered in red spots all over her body and she was missing fur. I immediately thought that she had been in a fight and questioned why I was not notified. Shelley, then told me not to worry. They don't allow the dogs to go out with other dogs and that those are most likely just "red spots," a common "allergy," for dogs who board. 3 Vet visits and $600 later I found out that this was not a "common," thing as well as not medically diagnosed as the allergy hot spots, but a bacteria skin infection which put my dog on antibiotics for

Great kennel! I have used this kennel for over 5 years with two different dogs of mine as well as with my friend's dog. My first dog was a very attached Neapolitan Mastiff who grew to love the kennel and not even say goodbye to me at the door! The staff have always been great and send photos if I was worried about anything. Tango became a part of the Dogwood family and knew when I was taking him there. The duration of stays varied between a weekend up to almost three weeks while I was out of the country on a work trip. Tango never got sick even after the long trip. Occasionally he had loose stool but that comes with any change in environment with some dogs. He never required a vet visit due to his stay. He loved the socialization and play time that he just didn't get at home as a
