We were so thankful to have found FurrWoods Kennels! We recently adopted a dog from Whatcom Humane…read moreSociety. Oscar is partially blind and very reactive, as he was never socialized as a puppy. It was critical to find a kennel that was a good fit for him. We had been using another boarding facility for the past ten years and had been pretty happy with them for most of that time. Due to a detour, I happened to drive by FurrWoods and saw their sign. So, we scheduled a time to take a tour. Oscar was reactive to the owner and staff and was barking and lunging at them. They knew exactly how to greet him and put him at ease. Within minutes, he was comfortable and leaning in for ear scratches. We took Oscar out to the play yards and put him in one by himself. He immediately went to the fence and happily greeted the other pups in the adjacent yard. The play yards here are repurposed astroturf from a football field, and the surface is immaculate. The previous boarding facility has gravel yards and our previous dog would sometimes eat rocks there or be dirty from digging. There are 3 or 4 different yards so they can group dogs by size or demeanor or age to ensure everyone has a positive playtime. The kennels are also very clean! There are only 28 kennels so it is much more peaceful than at a larger facility. They provide trampoline beds and even have slow feeders if you need them, which Oscar does. They have an online reservation system which helps me keep track of my bookings. You can also sign your dog up for an activity such as individual fetch time or a walk in the woods. We have boarded Oscar at FurrWoods several times over the past few months - sometimes just overnight and for as long as two weeks. He LOVES it there!! When we arrive, he pulls me to the door and wants to go straight out to play! This speaks volumes, as Oscar normally has separation anxiety!! When I pick him up, he is clean, happy, and exhausted. Thank you thank you thank you to Rebecca and her staff for welcoming Oscar into your kennel and your hearts!!

Our dog is literally wagging her tail to go in every time, which speaks to how happy they keep her. They separate dogs by energy and how well they get along. My staffordshire terrier is on the high energy end, so she needs to be paired with larger dogs and/or equivalently crazy dogs :). They do slow introductions to all the dogs and see how they pair well. There are a ton of separated areas for different groups to play. The Facebook photos are awesome to see how much fun they are having during the day. It's the best 100$ or so per month I spend regularly. Keeps my dog tired, socialized, and exercised.

We'd never had him in daycare so I had a lot of questions and hesitation but they were prompt to respond each time. Our pup ended up having a great time with no issues with the other dogs. The two men we met that are in charge of overseeing the dogs were informative as well as understanding my nervousness about leaving him for the first time. There was ample paperwork to fill out but that proved they are cautious and fulfilling their responsibilities given their good reputation. It went so well we took him back a second day. They are a good 15 mins. off the beaten road in a very rural location but was worth the drive. Would definitely use them again if in that area.

A friend suggested Freddie's and initially, we thought we'd take him a couple of times to get to know the place, and that would be it. Our pup is often anxious when going to a new place, so we didn't want to torture him. The owner and staff at Freddie's made him feel right at home, and in no time, it was his favourite place to be! He's excited for his daycare days where he gets to play with his friends, both four-legged and two-legged, that we now schedule him regularly and plan to keep him going beyond the trip. I love the picture updates, so I can see for myself that he's happy and thriving. So thankful for finding out about this place and that they make my pup feel right at home.

I have had extremely pleasant experiences with Mission Country Kennels, each time I have used their…read moreservices. They are, in my opinion, almost fanatically dedicated to dogs. Their facility is LOVELY - charming - and well maintained; truly, you have to see this place to believe it! All forest and trees, lots of room for the dogs to play and dig and run. And my impression is that they truly care for, and adore, all the dogs that come to them. Real 'dog people', to be sure. Indeed, so concerned are they about the dogs' well-being, that they are, in fact, somewhat strict! They have very specific requirements about 'times for pick up and drop off', to ensure the dogs are not unduly disturbed with a constant, random stream of clients coming at all hours. (Each time a vehicle arrives at the facility, it excites the dogs, who are always waiting for their owner's return - follow?) So, while slightly restrictive, this shows just how much they care about the dogs, not only physically, but emotionally also. Very kind people. I would unquestioningly board my pet here again, and would unhesitatingly recommend Mission Country Kennels to everyone in the Lower Mainland. Frankly if there is a better boarding Kennel in town, I'd like to see that!

As was said, they are quite strict in insuring dogs being boarded are healthy and compatible with the other boarding dogs. Their facility is clean and well thought out to allow dogs with similar temperents to play together. I'm happy that they do care enough to carefully screen potential boarders. My lab is a very friendly and non-confrontational dog that could easily be damaged by aggressive behavior. The last things I want is to find him torn up or sick from preventable diseases. I have full confidence that the entire staff do really care for the well being of their boarders and would highly recommend their kennel to anyone that truly cares for their pets.
