The Happy Hound Hotel

It is to bad about John F ’ s review. I had nothing but great experiences at this kennel. As we all know it’s very hard to leave your fur babies when you go on vacation… I didn’t worry at all!
I was kind of wondering why you would go on vacation and leave your senior dog in ANY kennel?! We have a 12 year old large lab who we would never leave alone at this stage of his life.
The owner is an animal lover herself and treats your dog’s like they are her own.
Give Happy Hound Hotel a try, you won’t be disappointed. The property is gorgeous and the staff is amazing!

I am sorry to have to write a bad review for this business as it is family owned and I think the owners are trying hard. But the place is not clean and our dogs came back severely traumatized after a two week stay. My belief is that the owner works during the day and does not stay on the premises. We chose this place hoping that an out of town location would save us some money over our usual in-​town boarder. We will not go back again. It should be noted that one of our dogs was actually quite sick when she went in though we did not realize this. We later had to euthanize her. As she was very old and had cancer, I would not say they hastened her death. However, the other dog, who is healthy, was also traumatized and fearful when he returned home.
Her kennel smells bad and was full of flies. We have been at other kennels where we toured the runs and they were much, much cleaner.
