Pembroke - Boarding Kennel?

Hey folks,

I'd like to plan a short trip for Clarisse's 30th b-day and found out that the wildnerness tour company does not allow pets, so now I'm forced to find a boarding kennel or dog sitter for our B. If we cannot find an appropriate or reputable kennel, then we will cancel the tour and seek fun elsewhere.

The closest city to the adventure company is Pembroke, Ontario - which is 20 minutes away, from where we're staying. I did a search for kennels in the area and found one with a website and was wondering if anyone on the forums or in the area may have some input.

Here's their website:

Anyone know of them?

We're open to suggestions, referrals and concerns that we should consider while kenneling our dog for a day or two.

FYI - Breeder is out of the question as we're heading to Montreal after the tour and want to bring our B with us.

Thanks in advance,

Emmanuel

Sounds like your vet's office has all the right setups for boarding and for day care - my own vet's office does not have all those facilities. Wish they did! At the place where I do take them, the outside play area is covered,so climbing out is not possible, or I would worry about that as well, since our B's certainly can climb! So glad you have found a place Cody is safe and happy when boarding is necessary.

All great suggestions. Also, for peace of mind, ask which emergency vet they use and check out that facility as well.

We also include an unwashed T-shirt (one from each of us)that we have slept in for a few days so our smells are concentrated. Ask if someone plays with the dogs when they're turned out to run, and ask if there is a washer and dryer on sight in case of an accident so the bedding gets washed.

All my above suggestions have come from experience and grant me some peace when I have to leave my dogs. That said, I'm still a BIG baby when I have to leave the "kids".:o

Magnum's breeder is always willing to board. I've only had to do it once (for four days), but he came back his normal, happy self. Although I'm sure he didn't get the human lovin' he gets here at home, he got a lot of doggy interaction, which he doesn't get here at home.

Since Mag's breeder is within a 1/2-hour drive from us, it was a no brainer. I realize that that's not generally possible, but, if you're close enough, it's definitely something to check out.

Also, since we didn't get Magnum 'til he was over a year old, he was very acclimated to his breeder's environment. When we dropped him off, he was so happy to see his breeder and her family and his old-time buddies, he didn't even wave good-bye to us 😉 . That was important to me, too. And the rate of $5 a day didn't hurt either.

Wow…. fantastic thread, glad I read through this.

I recently thought about finding a good place as an option for the event I need to go out of town and can't find an in-home pet sitter. The caretakers in my building have been fantastic sitters, since they live in the building and just take the elevator down a few floors to check up on him. Unfortunately they are leaving and most likely are retiring. So I need to find another option.

There's a kennel nearby, aprox 1-2 miles from here (talk about convenient), that has been around since the 1940's if i'm not mistaken. Great people, have used them before with other dogs (years ago), but called them up today to get some current info. They have had basenjis before (which is good to know) and every single one has always been boarded by themselves, and never with another dog. They seem to understand the needs. $25+tax/night for him to be boarded on his own overnight. Doesn't seem too bad, but now I have a backup option.

Nice thing is they also offer a free trial board in the middle of the week to see how they react. They screen for vaccinations, etc.
