    You’re Speaking My Language

    When we train dogs, we run into a very common issue and it's one most owners don't give a lot of thought.  While the particular issue is not one that is high on the list of issues for most owners, it is the root cause of many, many issues between owners and their...

    Where Pets Come First

    When we purchased Dogwood Kennel, the kennel's motto was "Where Pets Come First".  It's not why we purchased the kennel, but we loved the motto and we kept it. When you're a business that cares for pets everything is important, everything.  The kennels have to be...

    Their Love of Animals Shows

    “First class facility. The staff members are very caring and their love of animals shows. My dog Jeter is a high energy lab and he loves it here. He loves to play with other dogs and the dogs that stay here are given plenty of play time each day with similar size dogs.”  ~ Andrew G.

    My Pack Loves This Place!

      “My pack of dogs love this place! They are super friendly and the fact that my dogs don’t even say bye to me is good sign.”  ~Naomi B.- C.

    I'm Sure It Was An Inconvenience But They Never Made Me Feel Like It Was...

    “Layla and Foxy needed a bath and I forgot to call until last minute. Layla was to have surgery today and really needed a bath before. They took them in and did a beautiful job on them . I'm sure it was an inconvenience but they never made me feel like it was and the dogs looked and smelled amazing. The new owners are so very nice and caring and thank you so much for yesterday as Layla will not be getting around very well for a couple of weeks but she will definitely look and smell great!!”  ~Vickie H. - M.

    We No Longer Have Any Worry About Leaving Her For A Week To Go On Vacation!

    “We recently adopted a new dog "Juno" into our pack. She was traumatized from her time at the shelter so she has major fear issues to work through. Juno is very unsure of new people and new environments. All of the staff at Dogwood were extremely understanding and patient with Juno during her first day of daycare. Today when I dropped her off for her second day, she didn't even hesitate to run right in! It made me so proud and happy to see her more confident in herself and it shows how wonderful Dogwood is for any and all types of dogs. We no longer have any worry about leaving her for a week to go on vacation!”  ~Melanie C.

    This was my first visit, but won't be my last!

    “Took Bo, my Husky Mix, today for daycare and grooming! He needed some serious de-shedding and they made him look like a brand new dog! I was so pleased with the care and attention they gave to my rescue pup that's a little wary of groomers. This was my first visit, but won't be the last. Thank you!”  ~Megan J.

    That makes us feel great!

    “Our dog Treacy loves Dogwood Kennels. She is a Boston and rescue dog. Her socialization was done at dogwood and she can not wait to get into the Kennel. Does not even look back. That makes us feel great.”  ~Jean D.

    The team always greets me with bright smiles...

    “Our little lab Butter has been coming to Dogwood for daycare for the last several months. He absolutely loves it! Leaps into the car every morning after the kids are off on their buses to school ready to go himself (profoundly disappointed when he doesn't get to go). What a lifesaver to have our rambunctious pup all tired out at the end of the day after hours of playing with his friends! The team always greets me with bright smiles and good information about the day. Thanks Dogwood!”  ~Brandon B.

    I did not ever board any of my dogs until I found Dogwood!

    “Clyde can not wait to go to Dogwood!!! In the mornings he starts herding me, and does his little Clyde wine....until I say to him "do you want to go to DOGWOOD?"... it's all over he sits by the door and waits....Dogwood kennels is the BEST!!!....I did not ever board any of my dogs until I found Dogwood!...Clyde has grown up there, He absolutely is a much better dog, because he plays and is socialized , the Owners and Staff are incredible, so caring, they know each dog and what each one likes, and who they like to play with...if its chase, or fetch, pool, sand box, the obstacle course....its obvious , I can not say enough, about Dogwood !!!! ...THEY DO IT RIGHT!!!!!....Thank you all....Clyde is sleeping at my feet after a great day at DOGWOOD!!!!”  ~LK K.
