  For our dogs in 2021 this was a 1 star experience at best. If your dogs are already comfortable with the heavy smell of smoke (maybe between 2021 and 2024 this has improved?) then they might not have any issue with this. The owner provided services twice when due to a lack of openings at our preferred kennel we found this place and based on reviews risked it. (we have since found additional options and will drive over an hour to avoid this experience) I will admit (and in my email from September 15, 2021 to them providing vaccination records and written reminder) that although one of our 2 rescue dogs is quite friendly and desires constant attention, the other had a very traumatic early life and requires extra patience and gentle care. The first trip was short and although we had concerns about the level of smoke we recognized that to the best of our knowledge at the time there were not many other options. Upon returning from our second trip, our dogs had lost a noticeable amount of weight and took weeks to return to their normal playful personalities. (We have not had this issue with other kennels) the owner told us that our dog “was mean” This review might look similar to a duplicate entry from my wife; the owner responded to that by saying that our dogs have never stayed there - which raises concerns for us about their record keeping.
