    Dogs are kept in penned rooms that are part of a farmhouse. Structured activities include outdoor…read moreexercise, social interactions, and alone time. Rooms are furnished with couches, pillows, TV, unfinished rustic floors. The dogs appear to be enjoying themselves, and happy with the environment. Prices are excellent and a good value.

    I had a similar experience as the other 1 star reviewers. We boarded our 2 Goldendoodles for 7 days…read morewhile we went to Texas. Our dogs were kept in the basement where we were not allowed to go. Neither one of them ate while we were gone and we were not notified of this and they both had developed diarrhea. No one told us anything until we picked them up! So we went to pick them up after we got back from Texas and could see that something was very wrong. They each had lost 4 lbs!!! The older one was so weak that by the next day she could not stand. We took her to the emergency vet in Coon Rapids where they gave her some IV fluids and prescribed some medication. We were lucky that she made it. Our other dog pulled through okay. The Bed and Bone is not a good place for dogs and there is no communication about your dog. After this incident, I never boarded my dogs again but used Rover to have someone come to the house and stay with them. I highly recommend them. It might cost more but it's worth it, not just in price but in care, plus you're not paying an emergency vet bill. Its a bad bad bad place!

    We have brought our fur-babies here over the years. Our pup pomsky is learning about life and we…read moredecided in deed AK was the place to kennel him as we know they have all the knowledge skills training and loyal employees (heck its been family owned and run almost 100 years) so our lil man was left in the best of care! Top notch facility, location, safe and secure, and he got his nails done! We are so lucky to have AK in our county! Again if you have any ?s ask we did! See you again AK! Did I say the staff has only been friendly to us as well! Thank you for keeping pricing very reasonable too!!!!

    I brought my elderly dog in for a 4th of July visit. It was supposed to be a 4 day stay. I…read moreexplained to the attendant that he was having incontinence issues, and I was told not to worry, that he would be well cared for. I asked about extra services and was told that since it was going to be such a busy weekend that he wouldn't need anything, and she talked me out of the extras. When I picked him up, I was shocked at how badly he smelled of urine. There is no doubt that they just left him to lay in his own urine the whole time I was gone. The smell was so bad that I had to drive home with the windows down and then took him straight into the shower when we arrived. I don't know if he got any attention or if he was actually let out at all. The urine smell suggests that he wasn't. They could have done so much better. I would not recommend that anyone leave their pets here.
