Dog Boarding

Any one have any recs for dog boarding?  Typically my mom watches Deuce, but she has a puppy and doesn't think she can handle both.  We're in the Robinson area, but are heading to Erie in mid-July, so anywhere in the west or north would make for an easy drop off.

Re: Dog Boarding

  • Off the Zelienople exit (actually the exit past Cranberry and before Zelie - drawing a blank on the name)... we used Bamar Farm Kennel.

    They are a little hard to get a hold of - leave a message, though, and she will call you back.. it may take a second call, though. We were very happy with them, the several times we used them. They are not even 3 minutes off the exit of 79N. And the cost was around $18/19 per night if you provide the food.

    Bradford Hills in Wexford is good.

    I think I have heard Camp Bow Wow is good too...but my memory is fuzzy on that one.

    Also in case you are unfamiliar with pet boarding (I know I am since DH handles it) I think you need to take proof with you that Deuce is current on vaccinations.

    Yes, you're right. And the Boardatella shot needs to be within the past 6 months (but I believe it takes 30 days after the shot before the dog is considered protected). Might want to double-check on that - my memory is fuzzy.

  • yep, definitely need Bordatella which we usually skip since we never board them. I do believe that the first time is a double dose that needs spread out.

  • We didn't have too much luck with the Camp Bow Wow's. It's too much for our dog, and they won't go to the effort to put her in a quieter area. We either use Parkview kennels or Sandy Hills Kennel (the nicer of the two) depending on which way we're heading out of town.
  • I ended up booking Rippling Run in Sewickly.  They offered to let us bring Deuce for the day the week of 7/7, so that he can get acquainted and it will give him the expectation that we're coming back for him. 

    They also told us that they're looking to get a Doberman as their next dog, so I feel like he will get some extra attention from them because of that. 

    I know he had his initial Bordatella shots, but is due for his yearly.  I hope it's not needed a month in advance...because he's only getting them on Thursday.  I haven't found anything to confirm that (although I did read some interesting articles on how the shot doesn't actually prevent the disease...)
    Thanks for the suggestions!

  • We go to Sandy Hill Kennels.  We have a shih tzu who is a real jerk, and they have been the only ones who can handle him.  (He also seems to like it there.)
