We just picked our dog Brody from a long stay for boarding; he was so happy and healthy. This was…read morethe first time we used "Almost Home" and we were very nervous; but we could not be more pleased. The staff was great, the establishment was so clean, the price was great and the best part our baby was happy. While we were gone they sent pictures of him playing and having a good time. This was a great comfort to us. We will definitely use "Almost Home" again for boarding and day camp. Thank you to the staff for making this a very great experience for our fur baby and us. I highly recommend to all the doating fur baby parents!

Their Puppy Prep program has been so great for him and myself as a dog-owner newbie. The Puppy Prep program is seriously too good of an offer to pass up! Your pup can attend every day, Tuesday through Friday, between 7am-6pm until they're 20 weeks old. The trainers work with your puppy to help them learn potty training, kennel training, leash training, basic commands, and obedience! AND!! This program includes bi-weekly Wednesday night group training sessions!!! Seriously - this program couldn't be any better! The trainers and owners are SO nice and SO GREAT with the dogs. They go above and beyond. Ember's trainer hadn't worked with a Catahoula Leopard dog before so she *researched* the breed so she could better understand his needs and then she tailored his training to his needs and learning style!! How amazing is that?! Check. Them. Out!!! PS - does anyone know how I can keep my dog from aging because I never want him to age out of this program!!!

I love the owner! I've used them on and off for years. Very reliable and my dogs LOVE THEM!read more

Visits by the owner included putting my dog outside and sitting inside on her phone for the duration of the 15-20 min visit which did not seem worth the $19/visit. After 48 hrs I fired them and asked a friend to take over. She found 3 piles of poop and a pee spot on the living room that had been sitting. The only response I got to expressing my concern of how they cared for my pets was the invoice, no apology or inquiry on how they could improve. That does not seem like a company that loves animals or values their clients.

October 15-November 24, 2025 - New Horizon Kennel is by far the best and most compassionate kennel…read moreby far. My husband had a medical emergency and I needed to house my dog Bailey for 6 weeks while he was in the IA City hospitals. I would come home once a week to do laundry and repack my bag, go thru the mail and bring Bailey home overnight to spend time with her and take her back the next day when I would return to IA City. They worked with me and accommodated my schedule every week for those 6 weeks so I didn't have to worry about my sweet girl. They always asked how my husband and I were doing and if there was anything they could do from their end. The employees did an outstanding job comforting me in my tearful moments and reassuring me that I had nothing to worry about as far as Bailey, my sweet girl went. I have used this kennel for years, this is my 2nd lab that has gone here, so I have been going here for over 15 years and it just keeps getting better. Tim and Sarah and their crew are the best. I truly recommend this kennel for your fur babies.

We called and asked for a tour after a HORRIBLE experience somewhere else. They let us come right then and check everything out.

They took great care while we boarded for 11 days and we're happy to give updates when we called to to check on him. I was so impressed with them that I applied and got a job there when they had an opening. We just signed Oliver up for there 4 week training program. Can't wait to get him back and see the things they helped him accomplish..

7/31/21 Joyce N. Davenport, Iowa…read more My miniature dog, Rusty, was boarded for a week at Eldridge, Posh Resort while we were on vacation. They didn't return my phone calls asking for an update on how he was doing for 3 days. No Facebook photos posted until we got home. Would have been nice to see him while he was there. He had dried dark green feces on his butt when we picked him up. Eventual Facebook photo did capture such condition in evidence. Would had taken nothing to clean him with a Wet-one or something after pooping. They said he was "singing" the whole time. I believe it was a cry for help. Our cat, Benny, was also boarded there at the same time. Appears to have lost some weight. Not all his food was used up. Both animals have been clingy & so grateful to be home. We will never use that facility again. Usually have been pleased with boarding at Pleasant Valley location in past. There wasn't enough room for the two of them this time during our vacation slot.

About 3pm on Friday, November 10, 2017, we dropped our 23-month-old 5.5 pound Pomeranian Rio off at…read morePosh . . . A Beaston Camp Kennels Resort ("Posh") in Bettendorf, IA. We planned to pick her up about 48 hours later on Sunday after visiting our son in Milwaukee. At about 11:00am on Sunday, November 12, 2017, a representative of Posh left a voicemail message indicating that we should not be too concerned, but that she was going to take Rio to the emergency vet clinic. We first listened to this message at about 11:30am as we were leaving Milwaukee to return home and immediately returned the call. On that call the Posh representative told us that they were taking Rio to the emergency vet because she had blood in her stool, would not eat and was generally not responding well. We asked her to call us as soon as Rio saw the vet. Kelly Beaston called us about noon to tell us that Rio passed away just after arriving at the emergency vet. Ms. Beaston started to tell us about the events that preceded Rio's death, but not wanting to have a car accident (Ann was crying uncontrollably and I was stunned), I told her we needed to have some time to deal with the shock of Rio's death and that we would call her back. Ms. Beaston expressed her condolences and said she would await our call. We called Ms. Beaston back about 45 minutes later. During the calls with the Posh representative and Ms. Beaston we were told: * Sometime on Saturday, Rio and another dog were playing and that when it got too rough the handler had to separate them. * After separating the dogs, the handler and the other staff on duty looked at Rio and determined that she was "only bruised." * Rio was taken to the employee area where she ate. * At some point Sunday morning the staff called the Posh representative that had first called us and informed them that Rio had blood in her stool, would not eat and was generally not responsive. In my discussion with Ms. Beaston, I asked her why Rio was not taken to the vet after the incident or, in the alternative, why we were not called. She indicated that the handler and the other staff on duty decided it was not necessary because while Rio was shaken up a bit, there was no blood, only bruising and that she was able to eat. I also asked about the size and breed of the other dog. Ms. Beaston told us it was a "mixed breed" between 30 and 40 pounds. Note, the Animal Control Officer that investigated this incident told us the other dog was a Pit Bull. The reason we include this is not to suggest a bias against Pit Bulls or to blame this other dog, rather, to point out that we felt misled by Ms. Beaston's answer. I do not know if it was at the end of this call or if Ms. Beaston called us back a short time later, but she asked whether we wanted her to stay at the emergency vet until we got there so "we could yell at her." I told her we had no intention of yelling at her, that if we had any other questions after seeing Rio's body and talking with the emergency vet team that we would get in touch. Further, we had 60-90 minutes more to travel and saw no purpose in her waiting around. The call concluded with Ms. Beaston repeating that she was sorry. When we arrived at the emergency vet we met with a vet tech and said our goodbyes. The vet tech indicated that they were uncomfortable with the circumstances surrounding Rio's death so they shaved her sides to document the trauma photographically. We have included those postmortem photos. The emergency vet clinic told us that Ms. Beaston covered the cost of the vet's services but we incurred the cost of her cremation. Posh never even offered us any other compensation for our loss. In our opinion, Posh should have taken Rio to a vet after the incident. At a minimum, Posh should have called us and allowed us to decide. If they had called us, we would have directed Posh to take Rio either to her regular vet or the emergency vet clinic. While we will never know whether such action would have saved her life, we do know that we could have prevented her prolonged suffering. As saddened as we are that Rio died, we are horrified and angry that she spent the night alone suffering a slow painful death.
