    BEWARE of boarding at the Alpha-K9 facility. We boarded our cat, Bernadette, for four nights in…read moreOctober 2022. When we returned, we were told SHE WAS MISSING! We could have left her at home, but we made the decision to board her TO BE SURE SHE WOULD BE SAFE. Not only was Bernadette lost, possibly never to be in our home and part of our lives again, but she was lost ten miles from home. Bernadette is part of our family so we were devastated. The cat cages at Alpha-K9 are made of plywood and hardware cloth which are enclosed inside a secondary "building". Bernadette escaped her cage by pushing through its rotted plywood. She then escaped through holes in the secondary housing. The people at Alpha-K9 are nice, but the cat boarding facility is of substandard construction and is inadequate to safely board felines. Alpha-K9's owner, claimed they had recently worked to improve the cat boarding area before our cat escaped. She also claimed that they had never lost a cat before. As we spoke with neighbors of Alpha-K9, one individual told us of a cat previously gone missing from the facility. During the time spent searching, we realized mosquitoes are terrible at the facility. The presence of mosquitoes put your pet at risk of mosquito borne disease such as heartworms. We searched the ten mile area for twelve days. Hope faded with each passing day, but we were fortunate and on day twelve, we found her hiding in the grass on a neighboring property. She was thin, dehydrated, and traumatized but we were reunited. Be forewarned of boarding at Alpha-K9. **in response to Laurels comment. Laurel, our cat Bernadette is extremely friendly and during her first stay with you was apprehensive as it was her first time being boarded. We explained that to you prior to bringing her the second time. Bernadette is not a wild animal, the rotten wood seemed to be the real issue. How unfortunate you can't acknowledge your shortcomings. So far as our inspection of your facilities goes, I would recommend anyone choosing to use Alpha-K-9 do an "extreme review" as obviously the cursory review we did did not expose rotted wood and substandard secondary containment fencing. Regarding your interpretation of what kind of cats you choose to board. I recommend you don't board cats. That's your choice, we are just sharing our experience so other folks don't suffer the same as we did.

    We left our puppy with them overnight and it's such a relief to know he was in good hands! Everyone…read morethere is so so sweet and kindhearted. It's hard work running a kennel but you wouldn't know it with all the smiles on the girl's faces there! Plus they send photos & video updates so you can see your pet settling in. The grounds are well maintained and there are plenty of other dogs to help socialize our pup and keep him company overnight. There's no place like home, but Alpha K-9 is a paradise vacation for any pet! Thanks girls! We'll be using you again and again in the future!
