Dogs get delta breezes, fresh country air, a grass field and fenced play yards. A stay here is a little like summer camp: more activity than at home, a lot of time chatting with the neighbors, and a tired, happy dog at pick-up. Because it is a country kennel, dogs run through the field and play in the grass. You can book a bath before pick-up; the staff time it so bathing and drying are done when you arrive. ## Two buildings, three kennel sizes The original building holds the Economy Class runs. The second building, opened October 5, 2022, added a lobby, the cattery, a meal-prep room and 50 indoor plus 50 outdoor runs: ten First Class kennels (about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside) and forty Business Class kennels (about 30 inside and 60 outside). It has heating and air conditioning, epoxy floors and fire sprinklers. Each dog has its own run and can see its neighbors through the fence. Dogs from the same family can share a run, and every extra dog sharing costs less. ## What people notice Reviewers on Google mention how clean the kennel looks and smells, the friendly people at the front desk, and the photos of their dogs playing while they are away.
