Dog Kennels for Every Size
Our small kennels have the same floor space as the large or extra-large kennels. However, our small upper kennels are suitable for dogs weighing less than 20 lbs. because guests need to be lifted into them. Regardless of the breed, we have a space to accommodate each dog properly, including:
- Medium kennels
- Large kennels
- Extra-large kennels and XX-large kennels
Many of our kennels are equipped with in/out runs that permit our guests to enjoy the outdoors during warm weather. Our amenities are designed for their safety, security and recreation. Country Kennels provides:
- 25 large securely fenced exercise yards constructed with 7' high chain link fencing
- A 1.5-acre walking field for daily strolls
- 3 ball yards which are large off-leash areas designated for playing fetch (80 feet x 20 feet) (40 feet x 40 feet)
- 1 swim yard which is a large off-leash area with a pool for swimming and play (40 feet x 40 feet) used in the summer months
Cat Kennels for All Personalities
The cat kennels each have their own window and perch for our guests to either enjoy the views of the outdoors or to watch the goings on in our office. Playtime is spent in the cat room which has a fireplace, cat tree and additional spaces to climb and explore. Each kennel is equipped with a perch, bedding and litter pan.

Things to Bring
Country Kennels supplies all bedding and dishes for the health and safety of our guests. However, to improve the overall enjoyment and safety of your pet’s stay, we request you bring the following items:
- A written or typed list of your dog's ailments, medications, food intake and other special requirements
- Your pet's up-to-date vaccination certificate (this information needs to be updated once a year)
- Your pet's normal food (package a few extra days just in case you are delayed) and favourite treats
- All dogs are required to wear a soft collar. If a choke chain is required for walks, please provide this as well
Information on Foods and Feeding
It is our experience that pets fare better when maintaining their regular daily diet; therefore, we strongly recommend bringing your pet's food. If you choose to use our food, we provide Kirkland Lamb and Rice (there is an additional cost of $0.75 per cup if using our food). We prepare foods as requested (i.e. add water to food, mix in tinned food with the dry, heat food, mix in supplements or medications with food, etc.). We have a fridge and freezer to accommodate perishable items.
We feed in the mornings and evenings (noon feedings can be administered if required). Food will be left in the kennels and is accessible for pets that prefer to nibble throughout the day or night. Water is always available for your pet and is checked, cleaned and replenished throughout the day. We also accept raw food diets.
How Dog Owners Can Reduce the Stress
Allow plenty of time to deliver your pet to the kennel so you are not in a last minute panic and pushed for time. Your stress will be communicated to your dog, and it is better if they leave you when you are relaxed and happy.
When you leave, try to be jolly and matter of fact, rather than consoling. Negative energy can be sensed by your pet, elevating their stress level.
