Looking for a Reputable Dog Kennel
My family & I have to leave our dog w/ someone other than family for the first time for vacation this year. Looking to find a reputable kennel that will take all sorts of breeds for a week long stay. He's up to date all shots & is in good health.
Thanks!

If you are near Morrisville PA, check out Four Paws Doggie Day Care. It's awesome! They have Doggie Day care there every day so the dogs can all play and have fun, then come dogs stay over at night too. They are on the Snipes Farm property by Route 1 in Morrisville.
Hope that helps!

Not sure what your budget is but, when we had to go away for the first time we used Fetch Pet Care. We did used their boarding services located in someone's home. It was a little rough in the beginning for my dog, he was only a year old and had never been away from us, but he turned out fine and did well (i.e. didn't get sick, ate his regular food, etc)

Hi J., Try the Country Lane Pet Hotel in North Versailles Ps. My next-door neighbor (and all three of her daughters) recommended them to us and we had our Greyhound there just last month. They do charge a one-time registration fee, and you will spend about an hour or so on the phone with the owner talking about your dog (habits, likes, dislikes, personality etc). They are amazing there! It's clean (no animal smells) the folks that work there are really sweet and they seem to really care about their doggy guests. They can even provide grooming services while your dog is there. We were really happy, our dog seemed really happy and we will be using them again with no worries!! Best wishes.

I don't know if Fleetwood is a convenient location for you (it's a short drive for me from Temple). I've boarded my dog 3 times with Willorill Kennels in Fleetwood, and he's always happy and bouncy (a ten year old dog bouncy!) when I pick him up. When he's been at all stressed in the past, even for a few minutes, he'll show dandruff on his back, which shows up easily in his short black thin fur. He's never had any sign of it after boarding with Willorill, and the owner is always very helpful and accomodating with my dog's preferences and feeding schedule. The kennel building and runs are new, clean, and very well kept. The price is also very reasonable, compared to other kennels close by. I don't know if they're often booked solid in the summer, but I've never had a problem in the colder months on short notice.
Their number is ###-###-####, and their URL is www.willorillkennels.com.
