Winding River Kennel Lc

Winding river doggy day care is the best thing I have done as a dog owner! After owning a dog for a year, I did not feel comfortable leaving her anywhere, until I came here. My dog is always so loved by the staff. I board and groom my dog here as well and will never go anywhere else!

We have not boarded our dog here. However, we did spend 2 hours at Winding River meeting a few rescue dogs they board, and I feel that gave us a great feel for the place.
This seemed like a doggie heaven. They offer open boarding/​doggie daycare where they allow the dogs to run around in packs. All the dogs seemed thrilled and the employee (20 something male) was GREAT with all the dogs. He knew them all by name and had a sixth sense for when play was getting too rough. He was gentle yet still a leader. The digs aren’t the fanciest… a large yard and then cement rooms with kennels used for feeding and sleeping only… but the dogs didn’t seem to mind. I also loved how the dogs roamed around the building like it was their house. I believe they charge $ 35/​day for the daycare boarding, and if I could always afford it, this is where I’d take my dog.
Cons: price (although standard boarding is very affordable-​$ 18), location (pretty far south), dog piss smell (but dogs didn’t mind and staff was good at mopping up messes immediately).

Great place to board your pooch! The staff is very caring and pleasant and always remember my dog’s name! Prices are reasonable and in line with the other boarding places in town. The dogs all seem happy, well-​cared for, and roam about the office and halls like they own the place. It is chaotic, but fun (if you’re a dog!) They have cageless boarding (no kennels), so they sleep in small rooms, grouped with their play buddies. They play outside in a safe, clean, fenced in field, surrounded by a horse farm. The indoor space is very nice also. My dog is always excited to walk in the door, and barely says goodbye to me when I have to leave. When we pick him up, he seems happy and exhausted, and crashes as soon as he gets home to his bed! I suspect it’s the doggy equivalent of one big weekend-​long frat party — minus the beer!

Winding river doggy day care is the best! Louie, our 2 year old yellow lab, gets to spend every Friday playing and romping with his friends at daycare. Renee and I get to come home from work to a well exercised and completely pooped puppy dog, it’s a great way for all of us to start our weekend.
The daycare facility is the best I’ve seen, they have a large indoor area and huge outdoor area for the dogs to run and socialize. The outdoor space is probably over an acre and divided into three areas so they can separate the dogs based on energy levels and size. Louie spends most of his time in the largest of the three areas and when the weather is nice they have several kiddie pools set up for the dogs. The inside is also divided into several play areas and a grooming station.
The staff is great and they all treat the dogs like their own, I always feel good dropping off Louie in the Morning.
