Horrible experience! Our dog ended up sick and abused…read more We wanted to take the Royal Gorge train last Thursday and called Country Kennels. I spoke to the owner, who said she would be out of town, and her daughter would be the one doing intake and caring for our dog. She seemed great on the phone. We were a little put off by the state of the building, but we left our ten pound Yorkiepoo with the seemingly nice daughter. She said he would mostly be staying in the cat room since he was little and there were no cats staying with them. We went and had a fantastic time on the train, and the daughter walked up exactly at the arranged pick up time. Then it got weird. She said we would have to come call him because he was refusing to come out of the cage. My partner went in there, and he was cowering in the back, and she had to drag him out. We have never seen him act like that. We noticed right away that his face was covered in poop, like someone had shoved his face in a pile. We have never seen him intentionally do something like that in the three years we've had him. When we cleaned him up, we also noticed his face was scratched. When my partner asked what happened, the daughter shrugged and said he got dirty. We hightailed it out of there and begged the pet store in town to let us use their grooming station. We had planned to drive back to Denver and had dinner plans with family that we had to put off. Our clothes and car were covered in poop, and he cowered in the seat shaking the whole ride. He then had diarrhea all over our van and the hotel room that night, and we spent the night cleaning out the car in the Walmart parking lot with a new carpet cleaner. He was sick for a few days after and it took him a few days to calm down and act like himself. I hope other pets have been treated more kindly and not as negligently as ours. It put a huge damper on our trip seeing our fur baby so sad. Skip this place. They shouldn't have a kennel license.

Voila -- thanks to a referral from Barb at the pet shop on Main Street, we found Country Kennels. Their drop off hours are 9-10A during the week and pick up from 4-5, and Sunday by arrangement. Our River Runners raft trip was great and our dogs had a fun, cool place to play. Easy to find on Four Mile Parkway and the owners were as nice as could be. It was $28 for our big lab and pug together. ARF.

My mom's chiweenie, Ginger had been a patient since my mom moved to Canon City in 2022. Ginger had…read morea history of seizures & more recently heart issues. On Wednesday 11/5 Ginger experienced a seizure that she struggled to "snap out of." My mom called late in the day around 4 and this office shut her down, told her to drive to Springs & take her to the emergency vet there. She just wanted to know if there was any hope. My mom who is 82 & scheduled for cataract surgery in the coming weeks was forced to drive to Springs in the dark, alone, upset and sadly Ginger passed away in the car on the way to Springs. I feel this vet office could have taken 10 or 20 minutes to assess Ginger's condition, triaged the situation differently. At a minimum it would've saved my mom a drive in the dark, alone without her treasured companion of 9 years.

If anyone needs help with training their dog, Val is the person to contact.
