Our dogs adore their time at Dartmouth Kennels. They come home tired and happy while we know they are cared for and exercised. They have been there a dozen times and we have never had any concerns. I was always anxious leaving them before but knowing there is someone there overnight and close by eases my worries. Thank you for this awesome service.

Excellent service! They really are about you dog and they are well taken care of while there. I would recommend them to anyone who really wants someone to genuinely care for their pets!
Dartmouth Kennel gets top marks in my opinion! We take our dog there when we go away and although I miss her terribly I know without doubt she is in excellent hands. The staff at Dartmouth Kennel are very attentive and it's obvious they have a love of animals. When I picked our girl up the last time she was clean, happy and they had even taken the time to wash her blanket too! It was obvious she was well looked after. I have toured the kennel and it is very clean and well kept, the dogs temporary home is spacious and warm and the runs are also clear of waste.There is also a box of toys that have been left behind and you can help yourself if you wish. I don't understand the bad reviews because my experience has been top notch. Of course nothing can match the comfort of our home for our dog but Dartmouth Kennel come a close second! Thanks staff at Dartmouth Kennel, for loving our dog the way we do! : )
i have taken my dogs their many times, he always comes back healthy and happy. they even feed my dog their own food when mine runs out. my dog really enjoys his walks. the staff really take care in making sure the dogs are happy. the kennels are heated which is a bonus so i know my baby is warm and safe. thankyou dartmouth kennel :)
My dog was not walked for the three days we left him there. When we picked him up he reaked of urine and feces. After arriving at home we found his rear was covered in poop. Now it's four days later and my dog has kennel cough. ( and he has been treated for this). Not impressed at all.
Terrible experience ! I am sure these positive ratings and comments are from owners. I left my dog at Dartmouth Kennel Service for 1 week while I was on vacation. Came back to find my dog emaciated and shaking. "Ran out of food 2 days ago" so she was not fed for 2 days. No attempt to make contact with us and she has been sent with 2 weeks worth of food just in case. Kennels were not heated during winter. No accountability for disgrace of care for the animals. I have only heard negative feedback. Would NEVER leave any animal there again.
I looked around for the perfect place to send our pup while we went away on a family vacation. DKS was close to home, affordable, and we had heard good things. We decided to board her there for the week. The best thing about DKS is their staff! While we were away, we were sent photos of our pup making new friends, going on walks and having just as much fun as we were on our vacation! It was so good to see her and know how happy she really was! After we were home for a while, we had a horrible experience at a groomer. Our pup was absolutely terrified to get her nails clipped after that. I had noticed that DKS did nail trims so I called and spoke to Lora and explained that our girl would not be easy to deal with. She assured me it would be no problem at all, and so I took her in. That first trip couldn’t have been fun for Lora, but both survived. It has now been several years and we still take her to have her nails done. She no longer resists or panics, instead she is excited and happy to be there! In fact, when I say, “Want to go see Lora?” She goes crazy and plants herself by the front door! The fact that staff will take the time (and have the patience with pups who struggle), makes ALL the difference in the world to me. We have boarded our girl there every time we have gone away, and will continue to do so! It’s her favourite place to visit and I am confident she is being well cared for. Thank you to all the staff at DKS, especially Lora!
I see there are some negative reviews from other people from the past couple of years, but things have really changed at the kennel! The staff clearly love dogs, remember them when they come in and love to see them! The dogs are walked twice a day, you can see them walking the dogs if you are there in the morning or evening dropping of your dog. Yes, my dog did smell when she came home, but that's a reality of a kennel! I know that it's just the smell of so many dogs being together, as the runs are clean and so are the kennels. It's not the same as home, but it is a great alternative if you need to go away without your pet! PS as for the diarrhea issues someone mentioned; the kennel has their own food which they will feed to your dog if you don't bring your own, but most dog owners should know that if you switch a dogs food like that they will likely get diarrhea immediately. If you don't want your dog to get diarrhea, there is a simple solution: Bring your own food!
