Dog Boarding
Cedar Bend Kennels invites dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes to enjoy a stay at our clean and comfortable, temperature-controlled boarding facility. Non-aggressive, spayed/neutered pets who have been socialized with other dogs make the best guests.
We offer two types of spacious suites:
Indoor/outdoor. These suites allow unlimited access to a 4’ by 8’ outdoor space through a doggie door located at the back of the 4’ by 5’ indoor space. These suites are well-suited for dogs of all sizes who prefer being outside most of the day.
Indoor only. These suites include 4’ by 6’ of indoor space. Indoor suites are well-suited for dogs of all sizes who prefer being inside.
All guests are provided bedding and toys, but for extra security and comfort, we recommend parents bring their dog’s own bed, toys, and treats.
Our well-trained, friendly staff take pride in providing comfort and kindness to your pet during their stay. Whether its for a day, a week, or a longer-term stay, rest assured that we will treat your pet with the same loving care they receive at home.
Feel free to stop by to take a tour of our facility prior to your dog’s stay. You can visit any time during the pickup and drop off hours listed below.
A Day At Cedar Bend
The day begins at 7am at Cedar Bend. After wakeup, your dog will be taken out to one of our play yards 5-6 times per day for playtime and potty breaks. Our doggie guests will be grouped together for play time, based on size, age, and temperament. These outside breaks will each last 30 minutes to an hour depending on the weather and your pup’s preference. In the evening, your pet will relax in his/her own suite with tuck in service (including treats), a little TV time, and then slumber the night away warm and cozy with light music left on throughout the night.
At your election, for an additional fee, your dog may attend Doggie Day Camp during their stay (based on socialization). Please see the Doggie Day Camp tab for additional details. In addition, we offer “go-home baths” so your pup is fresh and clean for pickup, price based on size.
Food and Medication
In an effort to make your pet as comfortable as possible, we follow his/her normal feeding routine. You will be asked to provide us with your pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions when you complete your welcome paperwork.
To avoid any upset stomachs, we ask that you provide food for the duration of your pet’s stay. All dry food must be pre-bagged for each meal. We ask that you only bring enough food for your pet’s stay and that you do not bring any large bags or containers of food. Additionally, we ask that you do not bring glassware or raw meat.
Your dog’s oral and/or topical medications are administered at no additional charge. However, we cannot administer injections of any kind. You will be asked to provide us with your pet’s medication schedule and any special instructions when you complete your welcome paperwork.
