What makes it different

Most kennels handle boarding or daycare and stop there. American K9 Country is also a show event center, with facility rentals, and it keeps an on-site general store for food, toys, and gear. The fitness pool and rehab side matters for older dogs and dogs coming back from surgery. The property gives dogs room outdoors as well as indoor play space, which helps on New Hampshire days when the weather turns. Owners who like to check in mid-day can use webcam access.
