Our 14 year old shepherd spent 4 nights there and came home tired, lots of food not eaten and reluctant to go outside. I left feeding instructions and believe they were followed, but his dentisticks were not given or any of the treats we sent. He is too old to participate in the play period and did not enjoy the outside playtime because he did not play much with the other old, blind shepherd he was paired with. He would have done better with 2 daily walks.
You know they ate great when your dog runs in with his tail up waiting for them to come to the desk & he's off to play without looking back. Of course we think they ate great to!
I have been kenneling my dog at Springfield Kennels 2 weeks a month for the past 4 years. You will not find a nicer kennel than Springfield. The grounds and kennels are spacious and clean, with ample room for the dogs to run and socialize with one another. The managers are kind and accommodating. The rates are fair and comparable to other kennels. When I am away, I know Mukwa will be happy and well looked after. Don't forget to check out their Facebook page!
Recommended by my vet and very thankful! I've been bring my dog here for almost 2 years and she loves it! She cannot wait to get out of the vehicle to see her friends! I feel so confident that she is being cared for. These people are real dog lovers and really care about their business and provide exceptional service. This really gives me peace of mind when I travel.
We have used several different kennel locations and Springfield by far, is our favourite choice. Clean, quiet, calm and a beautiful setting for boarding. Our dog never appears stressed and anxious when we arrive at the facility, unlike other places we have been to. We make the trip from Calgary to this kennel. Highly recommend Springfield kennels. ;-)
Please be aware they have both morning and afternoon drop-off/pick-up periods, but charge for an extra night's stay if you use the afternoon pick-up. As well, they are closed Sunday mornings so you automatically pay for a "three nights stay" if you leave your dog for the weekend.
Yes we do charge for an afternoon pickup, just like other kennels do, and just like a hotel would charge for the day if you did not check out by 11 am. This is standard practice in the dog boarding industry. I appologise if you wre not made aware of this, as it our practice to clearly explain charges.
We have just recently implemented a 2 day minimum charge, again in line with what other kennels do.
As for the Sunday closure. We will look at that again. But if you pick up your dog on Monday morning there is no charge for that day. So a weekend drop off on Friday PM and pickup Sunday PM is only 3 days board, just like a hotel.
