Generally speaking, there are dog people, and there are cat people. At Country Kennels, we’re both. We specialize in catering to the needs of dogs and cats with our personalized pet boarding services. Is Fido old-aged? Is your feline extra finicky? We go out of our way to make sure all our guests feel at home. We provide a number of services to accommodate pets with additional needs. If you’re travelling out of Edmonton, give us a call.
Our high staff-to-pet ratio allows our guests to be outside their kennel a minimum of 4 to 5 times every day between walks and play yard times. Kennels, bedding and pets are cleaned throughout the day to keep our facilities comfortable and healthy at all times.
A variety of stress therapies are used as needed. We assist pets struggling with separation anxiety and stress through our use of herbal remedies, touch and relaxation techniques or extra time spent with staff playing or cuddling.
DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) therapy calms and reassures dogs and puppies in stressful situations such as leaving their owner, being alone at home, travel, going to the vet and kenneling. DAP synthetically mimics natural pheromones that female dogs provide for their puppies, giving them a sense of well-being and reassurance.
Herbal therapy is only given after all other attempts have failed to alleviate the stress.
Litter pans, bedding and guests are cleaned throughout the day to keep our kennels comfortable and healthy at all times.
If your pet requires prescription medications in any form (pill, liquid, powder, cream, etc.) during their stay there will be a $1.00 per day administration charge.
Injections or special medical needs (i.e. bandaging and wound care) will be charged extra according to individual requirements.
If your pet requires the administration of medications or products that are supplied by the kennel (for diarrhea, stress, etc.), there will be an additional $1.00 per day charge.
Vaccinations can take days or even weeks to stimulate a pet’s protective immunity. Vaccinating your pet the day it is exposed to disease may not be enough. If you plan to board your pet, it is advised to vaccinate a minimum of one week prior to entering a kennel.
Management will charge a fee for taking your pet to the vet, in addition to any charges incurred. Management reserves the right to not accept an animal felt to be a health risk or danger to the staff or other guests of our facility.
We care about the well-being of all our guests. Please get in touch with Country Kennels if you have any questions or concerns.
