Oops, sorry I already answered this question earlier in the month!

It took me forever, but I have finally found a kennel I totally trust. I am in Westchester County, NY. An ex-co-worker's son used to walk the dogs there, so I knew I could trust it.

This is the fourth place I had my dogs stay at. They walk my Italian Greyhounds (IG's) two times a day. They have an indoor/outdoor run, raised bedding, A/C - heat. For an extra fee, they will bathe, give medications (and even change dressings), have extra playtime, etc.

At other kennels, I've had problems in the past with medications being given wrong with one IG that I had. (My beloved Mario who passed away just before Christmas this past year). But this place had made sure his medications were given correctly and that his dressings were changed when needed. They even made sure they had "Christmas Dinner" during the holidays one year.

Thankfully, the 2 IG's I have now do not have any medication issues and they always look better coming home then they did going in! I highly recommended this place. I know they have a pick up and delivery service but I have never used it.

I paid about $54 per day for the two IG in the same "room". Yeah, I live in an expensive area, because that is the going rate, more or less (for 2 dogs in the same kennel). I'm not sure if I can give the name or the email address, but if I can, boy, do I highly recommend them!

ltl- I am sorry you have had such a tough time finding a boarding kennel. I used to live in Westchester and could have given you a recommendation. We used Northwind in Bedford and love them.

Deb, I had seen them advertised and I wasn't quite sure. Thank you for the recommendation on them. I might try them out if I need.

BTW, I use Almost Home in Putnam Valley.

Our 13 year old lab is getting a bit frail, so we can't leave him with the neighbor who used to take care of him as she has young dogs who wear him out. We won't kennel him, so now we are only taking vacations where he can be included. We are all going to the Canadian Rockies (from Seattle area) next month.

No more overseas trips as long as he is with us. He's worth it.

I have a doggy day care for my girl...
27.00 per 24 hour period.
She spends 12 hours playing with the other large breed dogs and sleeps like a rock the rest of the time.
They know her and she seems to love going.
These types of places are all over Dallas...
