I took my pup here for boarding for four days while moving to Missoula from Texas. We needed him out of the house during the craziness, but I had never left him with strangers before and was a little apprehensive. After researching many kennels in the area, I found the majority of them to either have wait lists up to a month in advance (I needed boarding with only two days advance), or to have sketchy reviews. Finally, I found Wind River Tails & Trails and thought they sounded promising. They were very welcoming on the phone, were very affordable, and worked with my short-notice demands.
After meeting them in person and taking a little tour of the facilities, I found it to live up to all my expectations. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and seemingly invested in their work. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog there, and was very satisfied when I picked him up. They also offer training options and I'm planning on taking advantage of those offers very soon.
A few tips if you should choose to board here: you do need to provide enough food for your dog's stay when you leave them. Also, the area where the dogs stay is outside and while there is a lovely heated area they have the option of going into if it's too cold, the outside area is grass and dirt. So be prepared if you return to find your pet happy and content but extremely dirty.
I will be returning with business for the Wind River boarding and would recommend it to anyone! read more
