We were so thankful to have found FurrWoods Kennels! We recently adopted a dog from Whatcom Humane…read moreSociety. Oscar is partially blind and very reactive, as he was never socialized as a puppy. It was critical to find a kennel that was a good fit for him. We had been using another boarding facility for the past ten years and had been pretty happy with them for most of that time. Due to a detour, I happened to drive by FurrWoods and saw their sign. So, we scheduled a time to take a tour. Oscar was reactive to the owner and staff and was barking and lunging at them. They knew exactly how to greet him and put him at ease. Within minutes, he was comfortable and leaning in for ear scratches. We took Oscar out to the play yards and put him in one by himself. He immediately went to the fence and happily greeted the other pups in the adjacent yard. The play yards here are repurposed astroturf from a football field, and the surface is immaculate. The previous boarding facility has gravel yards and our previous dog would sometimes eat rocks there or be dirty from digging. There are 3 or 4 different yards so they can group dogs by size or demeanor or age to ensure everyone has a positive playtime. The kennels are also very clean! There are only 28 kennels so it is much more peaceful than at a larger facility. They provide trampoline beds and even have slow feeders if you need them, which Oscar does. They have an online reservation system which helps me keep track of my bookings. You can also sign your dog up for an activity such as individual fetch time or a walk in the woods. We have boarded Oscar at FurrWoods several times over the past few months - sometimes just overnight and for as long as two weeks. He LOVES it there!! When we arrive, he pulls me to the door and wants to go straight out to play! This speaks volumes, as Oscar normally has separation anxiety!! When I pick him up, he is clean, happy, and exhausted. Thank you thank you thank you to Rebecca and her staff for welcoming Oscar into your kennel and your hearts!!

We've been trusting Dr. Johner at NW Vet in Blaine with our dogs for over 5 years, and we couldn't…read morebe more pleased. Our dog Axel Rose is definitely not a fan of vet visits. In fact, he was especially cranky today and had to wear a muzzle. But Dr. Johner handled the situation with incredible professionalism and calm. He gave Axel the space he needed, observed him from a safe distance, and calmly explained everything to us without escalating the tension. It worked! Axel settled down, and we got the answers we needed. Dr. Johner gave us a clear plan of action for some new concerns and took the time to explain everything thoroughly and patiently. Missy at the front desk is simply amazing, friendly, organized, and once she knows you, she'll probably recognize your voice when you call. It's those personal touches that really make this practice stand out. The vet techs are also wonderful, compassionate, knowledgeable, and clearly care about the animals they work with. We feel lucky to have such a skilled and kind veterinary team so close to home. Highly recommend NW Vet to anyone looking for excellent, compassionate care for their pets.

Absolutely awful experience that left both me and my pup shaken. We came here for the first time…read morefor a pre-travel health certificate and exam before flying out of state with my 4-pound Chihuahua. My dog has had previous negative experiences at veterinary offices, which is why I specifically chose a new clinic and had hoped for a more compassionate approach. Unfortunately, before I had the opportunity to explain her history or discuss how she does best with handling, the veterinarian attempted to remove her from her carrier. He then stated that she was trying to bite him, despite the fact that she has never bitten anyone in her two years of life. She is fearful and tends to bark when she is scared. She was taken to the back to be weighed and fitted with a muzzle, where I could hear her crying. They later came back and told me that they had put the muzzle on her, but she couldn't breathe properly with it, so it had to be removed. When she was brought back into the room, the veterinarian restrained her by the back of the neck while attempting to administer a rabies booster that I wasn't aware she was due for. As my tiny dog squealed, cried, and tried to get away, the vaccine was ultimately given in her hind end before she was placed back on the floor. I was visibly upset and shaking while this was happening. At no point did I feel that my concerns were heard or that there was any effort to slow down, discuss alternative handling techniques, or take my dog's fear and history into consideration. I left feeling heartbroken that what should have been a routine visit became another traumatic experience for both of us. I understand that veterinary professionals have difficult jobs and that fearful pets can be challenging to handle. However, compassion, communication, and fear-free handling matter--especially with very small dogs that are clearly frightened. I cannot recommend this clinic based on our experience.

Our dog is literally wagging her tail to go in every time, which speaks to how happy they keep her. They separate dogs by energy and how well they get along. My staffordshire terrier is on the high energy end, so she needs to be paired with larger dogs and/or equivalently crazy dogs :). They do slow introductions to all the dogs and see how they pair well. There are a ton of separated areas for different groups to play. The Facebook photos are awesome to see how much fun they are having during the day. It's the best 100$ or so per month I spend regularly. Keeps my dog tired, socialized, and exercised.

When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and Thunder was very calm. I was assured that he would blend into his size group, I was asked for any allergies and alot of caring questions. My dog has gastro problems and very sensitive to chicken so had to ensure it was communicated. Thunder was handed over and he stayed so calm, good sign and gave me assurance he would be fine. Picked him up after a few days and he was really good and happy, didnt show signs of any stress even after arriving home. Whew! Second stay 3 weeks later and same result. Awesome experience, Thunder was happy and no stress. Thank you to Stephanie and Linda for your care. You had many reservations, but still allowed Thunder to come. I highly recommend Delta Kennels, even if it may be out of the way, to know your dog will be well taken care of, it's worth it. Great facilities and people that genuinely care.

He's excited for his daycare days where he gets to play with his friends, both four-legged and two-legged, that we now schedule him regularly and plan to keep him going beyond the trip. I love the picture updates, so I can see for myself that he's happy and thriving. So thankful for finding out about this place and that they make my pup feel right at home.
