Sundance Kennels

We brought our dog Rosie to Sundance on a recommendation from a coworker of my father’s since we were heading out to Angola for a couple of days and could easily drop her off in Hamburg. It’s definitely a drive from where I live but I’d say it was pretty worth it. We brought our puppy in the afternoon; Rosie didn’t have her Bordetella vaccination when we spoke to them over the phone, but they were able to give it to her when we went to drop her off. We were able to bring her own puppy food from home, and a few of her toys. The workers were quick to get everything processed and get the puppy into a kennel. ‘Playtime’ was an additional fee (only $ 5), but all other care was included in the package.
She was given her food and water frequently, of course, and each kennel had an opening near the back that led to a small fenced-​in area outside (this was kept open all day so that the dogs could go outside whenever they needed to!). We were shown around the area and got to look at the artificial grass outdoors, and everything looked clean and taken care of. The woman who showed us around even seemed a little embarrassed to find some dog droppings that hadn’t been picked up yet, assuring us that she tries to keep things all cleaned up.
The other dogs in the kennel at the time all seemed so happy, so I think their contentedness can speak for how great this kennel is. My puppy was eager to be back home with me, but I think that’s only because she isn’t used to being left alone like that. If we ever end up going somewhere that we can’t bring a dog to, we will certainly leave her there again. I could tell by how busy the workers were that they are very dedicated to their work, which is to be expected when working with dozens of different dogs every day. I know that my pup is in good hands when I leave her here.

The grooming services at this kennel are fantastic! My girl is generally happy to walk in the door and, although she would prefer to leave with me, she readily stays.
It’s so nice to have her working with me rather than against me like she did at another, highly celebrated, groomers in Allentown. When she decides that she isn’t going to go, there isn’t much I can do other than pick her up and at 80lbs, well… it’s awkward especially in the winter. I really never understood the reaction but, given her mild manner, I figured that there must be something wrong with the situation.
When I arrive to pick her up, she is happy to see me but is in no hurry to leave. The cut is the best I have seen on her thus far and very reasonably priced. I hate when a dog’s haircut costs more than double mine.
Finally, the owner is friendly and contentious and I am completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care and that’s the most important thing of all.

Worst experience, beware if u have an unfortunate incident of yr dog being brought there by dog patrol for Hamburg. You and yr pet will b made feel like u r a criminal and not worthy of being treated with respect. Experiencing this from the owner, I wld never ever EVER recommend. My older dog got terrified home alone while neighbors thru a July 4^th party, with booming fireworks. I wld have never left her if I knew. She managed to get out and run… got picked up and brought here. We both were treated with no consideration or kindness — I won’t forget this experience

I have boarded my puggle here many times and have NEVER had a bad experience. She is always well taken care of and we always have peace of mind while we are away. The owner is always accommodating to us even with last minute grooming requests. I have recommended Sundance to family and friends without hesitation.
