What do you look for in a kennel?
What do you think your pets deserve?
Do they deserve a foo foo place, where they will (many terms for this) "pet" your pet for an additional $2-$5 a day?
Do they deserve someplace that for an additional $6.75 a day will also give them a treat?
Where most of the day they are locked in a smallish cell barking at other dogs for entertainment? Just waiting for their Potty break to get at least some change?
OR
What if they stayed at some nothing can be described as Foo Foo, place. There is no additional fee for "lavishing attention" on your pet. If you want them to have certain food, or treats, bring a bag with some and give them to them. They will give them to them while petting them as just part of their boarding. The owners just love pets. No little cage typically, but dogs get an enclosure with an outdoor run for each.
Sure they still bark at each other (that's what dogs do after all), but they have the option of going outside to do it, or stay inside.
I think they have a less stressful boarding experience for the pets themselves. But how can a non-scientific, computer person know this you ask?
We had a golden husky mix.and everything we boarded her, she came back with a bladder infection. We tried a different place around the Humble/Kingwood area, and the result was always the same. We were wondering if we could never travel, until we tried Holiday Kennels.
When we picked them (we had 2 dogs) up, she was fine. No vet. visits and medicine to give her. The only thing we could think of was it had to do with the outside run (but she had that before and still had an infection) or it was just less stressful for the pets.
Bring cash or check, they didn't take debit or credit cards every time we have been. But it has been a year or so as we have been, we have been able to to take the dogs with lately. But they are our kennel of choice.
i would give them 5 stars, but the not taking a credit card is a little inconvenient in this day and age. I have to remember how to write a check all over again since I don't write them anymore (smile). read more
