Comfortable & Safe Accommodations
Our facility provides private indoor and outdoor runs for every dog, ensuring both comfort and safety. Each run is spacious, giving pets plenty of room to move, stretch, and explore. Every guest has a private space for relaxation and freedom during their stay. Proper shelter is essential to protect dogs from weather conditions. Each run has a complete roof that keeps pets dry while providing shade and protection from all elements. Natural sunlight and fresh air are also important for good health, helping with vitamin D production and proper ventilation. Each run has a window to allow sunlight and fresh air inside, creating a bright and cheerful environment for every dog.
Impeccable Cleanliness and Security
Our pet areas are cleaned twice daily and sanitized to maintain a healthy and fresh environment. Enclosures are designed to be safe and secure, protecting dogs and their belongings. The fencing has smaller openings compared to standard fences, keeping paws, toys, and other items safely inside. Safety, comfort, and cleanliness are all priorities at Highland Kennel.
Nutrition and Hydration
Nutrition is a key part of a pet’s health and happiness. We provide only premium-quality food for dogs who do not require special diets, ensuring they receive proper nutrition for strong health, shiny coats, and good digestion. Tasty biscuits are offered throughout the day to bring extra smiles, joy, and tail wags.
Meals are served twice daily in spotless stainless steel bowls, while fresh water is always available in steel buckets or low dishes for smaller dogs. We accommodate special diets, extra meals, and administer insulin for diabetic pets during feeding times. By providing individualized nutrition and hydration, we ensure each pet stays healthy, energized, and happy throughout their stay.
Comfort, Playtime, and Individual Attention
Comfort and playtime are equally important for overall well-being. Every guest rests on a high-quality Kuranda bed, offering maximum comfort and support while reducing joint pressure. Oversized runs are available for large breeds or families with multiple dogs who enjoy staying together, and special rates are available for multiple pets.
Playtime is offered at an affordable rate, giving dogs a chance to run, stretch, and enjoy personal attention. Every pet receives plenty of love, affection, and individualized care throughout the day. Our goal is to provide an environment where dogs feel safe, happy, and fully engaged in activities that suit their personality and needs.
