Everyone has been friendly and reasonable and it is obvious that they love dogs. My dogs love it here too; as soon as I get near the building they get excited and the vocal one can't stop barking when she gets out of the truck to go inside, lol. The facilities are great for socializing, heat control, and boarding. I can board them both in a single "cottage" for a discounted rate, although I must warn you that it is not cheap. However it seems to be competitive for the quality; you get what you pay for. Their time policy is very reasonable as well. You can drop them off BEFORE 2:00 PM for boarding that night at no extra charge and they will arrange for Sunday pickup. They require a "meet and greet" introduction to see how your dog does in a social setting; a free 4-hour boarding. They also require strict immunizations and spaying/neutering with proof but they cannot control owners who bring in dogs who may be sick so there is a risk in that regard. But the facilities are all artificial so any bodily fluids/waste, and potential infectious agents may be treated, unlike facilities with earthen ground. If for instance giardia, a common but troublesome parasite gets into the earth it is very difficult to remove which is a huge issue in kennels. I am trying them out for grooming but they are short-handed right now and I am still working with the groomer to get the look I want.

Dog Abuse / Neglect at North Star Kennels:…read more Micah has had our Belgian Malinois for a few overnight stays over the past few years. He knows our dog and usually speaks very highly of her. Our dog is a trained protection dog with very high drive. Upon dropping her off this past trip, my husband explained to Micah that "yes, she barks in the truck everywhere, she's just very excited" Micah decided to take issue with her barking in the kennel truck he uses to transport dogs. He put an electric shock collar (e-collar) on our dog without our consent or knowledge. She is NOT trained to use an e-collar and therefore had very adverse reactions to it. Without being trained to the shock, she did not know what to do with it. Upon arriving at the facility, our dog was covered in her own diarrhea. Micah did not inform us that he thought our dog was sick or reach out to ask if she had been sick before. When we picked her up 3 nights later she was also covered in her own diarrhea again. We found he had used the e-collar on her for transport back to us. He explained she had an "upset stomach" all weekend. We bathed her and she was perfectly fine for us the rest of the day and following days. We noticed she had an open sore on her neck. It was red and inflamed and had discharge coming out of it. We texted Micah a picture and asked if he had any idea how this happened. After further examination by us and our vet we found she had two matching marks on either side of her neck. The vet told us it was from e-collar misuse. The collar was on for too long, and too tight. This causes what is essentially a burn where the prongs meet the skin. The upset stomach is due to extreme anxiety and stress caused by the entire ordeal. We sent this report to Micah who said his vet disagreed. (Without seeing our dog, examining her, or providing information on who the vet is). Micah told us it was from our own misuse of a prong collar she had not worn since she had been home. She has had a prong collar for training and working since she was a puppy, never having any issues with it. Micah presents himself as knowledgeable in the dog training sector. He is absolutely not. No knowledgeable trainer would put an e-collar on a dog for over an hour without the dog being trained to it. Especially not without our permission. To insinuate that the injury was caused by us is incredibly insulting, he stated he could "teach us how to properly use a prong collar". Further conversations with Micah on the phone were aggressive and unprofessional. The vet exam and antibiotics were refunded by Micah, the 3 day dog stay was not. DO NOT TRUST North Star Kennels with your animals.

I had to put my 2 dogs down last year for what other Vets had told me of their health condition. I now doubt what I was told and the decisions I had to make based on what I was told. I really wish with all my heart now that I would have gotten a second opinion from Dr. Nield before making those terrible decisions for my Dogs. Hindsight is so hard but I really think he would have been able to help them now. He is so competent . I am sad I did not find him a year ago, I have a feeling it could have changed the whole trajectory of my outcome. If you have Pets go to him!! There is no better in town! Your pets life may depend on it. Huge thanks to Dr. Nield and his Staff for helping me with my cat.

My dogs were always happy to get there and when I came to pick them up. Unfortunately I lost both dogs this spring. Fortunately, I was blessed to get a new puppy and we were welcomed back by the whole crew at Dogtopia once he had all his shots. He enjoyed the environment and I got his puppy report card and picture for his first day at school! I checked in on him on the webcams, like a nervous mom would, and saw him holding back to test the waters and then joined in play. The dogs were kenneled for a time to settle so they don't get crazy and aggressive from being so tired. We picked our boy up and he was so happy to see us he crowed! Lol! He slept most of the rest of the day, which is the blessing of daycare! I know some people don't understand the point of daycare for dogs but I do. I won't be bringing him every day, but occasionally to play and socialize is such a wonderful thing for them! Thanks!

They are here to make money and that's it no care for animals and disgusting customer service. I want to make note that one particular employee who made our experience disastrous was Irene, the front desk receptionist. So I've boarded my Great Pyrenees here before, not more than 10 months ago so when we needed boarding services here again I thought, why not. Dang. When my fiancé brought our dogs in, they check them in and everything seems fine until Irene tells my fiancé the dogs vaccines are outdated and that we needed $200 worth of shots for them to stay. No effing way. Both of the dogs' shots were up to date, and she tried telling my fiancé that DAPP did not include the dog flu vaccine which it does. I immediately called my regular vet in Boise, and were told that the shots Irene was telling us we needed were unnecessary. This was after we got the dogs in...my question is why didn't you do your job and call our vet to get records beforehand (like many dog boarding services do)? Why did you wait after we got the dogs in and then tell us they need $200 worth of shots? And WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU ASK "DO U JUST WANT US TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE NEEDS?" without being completely transparent about the details and costs? I'm so glad my fiancé stopped right there to do his due diligence.
