Bordatella (Kennel Cough) Vaccinations
If you cannot get into your veternarian clinic prior to boarding and the only vaccine that you need is Bordatella, please call the kennel at 906-482-8468 or e-mail tom@topdogkennels.biz.
Have peace of mind while you are away knowing that your dog is closely monitored by our security cameras 24 hours a day, inside and outside of the kennel and surrounding areas. Video along with motion detection are monitored remotely with a web based system. We also have remote fire and carbon monoxide monitoring for added safety of your dog.
Climate control: air conditioning in the hot summer months and radiant heat in the winter.
While boarded, your dog's kennel is vacuumed multiple times per day and cleaned and disinfected as necessary.
Each time a dog is checked out, that kennel is cleaned and fully disinfected.
Fresh water is provided at least 2 times per day (more for slobbering breeds).
Each kennel is separated by a block wall so there is no chance of fighting or intimidation through shared walls. This also avoids other dogs urinating into your dog's kennel to mark it's territory.
With spacious, clean kennels, special attention and soft music, your dog will feel right at home. Live music by professional singer Tom Katalin is also povided daily to calm the beast. Top Dog Kennels is a small kennel providing personal care. We care for your dog as if he/she were our own. Your dog isn't just another furry face here. We make sure he/she is comfortable and has a good experience at our doggy hotel.
If your small dog is intimidated being near large dogs or just likes being in a smaller space, we offer small dog kennels (under 20 lbs) in the kennel office. Small dogs get either supervised exercise time in our fenced in exercise area or are taken for an on-leash potty walk. They also get quite a bit of office time which is 1:1 time in the office, outside of their kennel, with Tina who LOVES to spoil them!!
Click on RESERVATIONS (found on the left side of this page in the green margin) for additional information, boarding rates and to create an online reservation request.
NOTE: On-site daily exercise is included in your boarding rate (see "Daily Exercise" below). Would your dog love going for an on-leash walk or run outside of the kennel? See "Fun Run or Walk" below for more information.
Included in your overnight boarding or daycare rate is daily exercise in our large, securely fenced-in outdoor play area.
If your dog is social, and with your permission, we will allow your dog to interact and play with other friendly k-9 guests. We will select playmates of similar size and temperment. They will be properly introduced and supervised for their first playdate!
If your dog is not social , no problem. Individual playtime is provided. Feel free to bring your dogs favorite toy.
This service is provided free of charge and given three to four times daily.
A tired dog is a happy dog!
While boarded, we offer additional exercise options. Your dog can go for a FUN RUN OR WALK!! This is an on-leash, off-site walk or run. This is a great option for those high energy dogs or those that get bored and need variety in their day.
A run (up to 2 miles) or a walk (up to 30 minutes) is $10. The runs/walks are adjusted to your dog's energy level and physical abilities. This keeps us and your dog in shape :). All runs/walks are 1:1. Weather permitting.
Is your dog older or doesn't have much energy, but would still enjoy getting out of the kennel for a nice leisurely stroll on a beautiful day? We will take your low-energy dog on a slow walk for $5 (the length and speed will be adjusted to your dog to give him/her maximum enjoyment within the limits of his/her physical abilities).
As always, our goal is a happy dog.
Does your dog get bored during the day while you are at work? Would you like to socialize your dog with other dogs? Are you wanting to go on a road trip for the day? Or do you just want your dog to have human contact while you are away or at work? Whatever your needs may be, we are here to help you! We offer Doggie Daycare tailored to your specific needs.
