Where do you board your pets?

For reasons too complicated to go into, I'm going to have to board the pooch in a few weeks. Where do you board your pets when you have to board them as opposed to getting a sitter?

This place is actually in an inconvenient location for us. But the people there are great... the kennel doesn't actually smell like a kennel and it sounds dorky...but it is the only place we have ever taken our dog where she trots along with the girl who comes to take her back to the kennel as opposed to trying to claw her way back to us (which is gut wrenching for a couple with no kids and only their dog :)
dorky.. but what can I say.. I trust them with my dog.. and THAT'S saying something.
Seems their website is broken today ? but they also have a pet pool (i couldn't make that up), training and yes even dog day care (I promise I've never used that); ▶ Reply to This

They are not as expensive as some of the country club/day camp options, and we've been satisfied with their service. They're also pretty close to us, so that's something we appreciate. No problems with meds or playing options and they have a grooming facility on site. Getting back a nice clean dog is great.; ▶ Reply to This

They've been constructing a small wading pond for quite a while and I don't know if it's completed yet or not. But the thing is, they have a really large outdoor play area and dogs get regular time out of doors.; ▶ Reply to This

I'll be taking the cat next month they have report cards also and they are cute, when I had a dog I used CCC and she seemed to be a happy pup when we picked her up; ▶ Reply to This

I highly recommend Canine Country Club--no other kennels in Albuq. compare, imho. Good luck. I always miss my pooch so much when I have to leave Albuq. w/o her.; ▶ Reply to This
