Animal Inn Boarding Kennel

Animal Inn Boarding Kennel is a country-setting kennel offering dog boarding and cat boarding in Columbia City, Indiana, at 7695 E. Lincolnway. The setup is built around individual runs, separate quarters for cats, and optional add-ons for dogs who want more time outdoors.

What a stay looks like for dogs

Every dog gets an individual inside run with a raised Kuranda bed. Dogs head out to individual outside runs three times a day, at 8:00 am, 4:00 pm and 10:30 pm. Those outside runs are partially covered, so the schedule holds in most weather. Owners who want more than the standard routine can add nature walks through the woods and pasture, or one-on-one playtime sessions.

Cats have their own space

Cats board separately from dogs, which keeps the stress of a busy dog kennel at a distance. Each cat stays in a custom-made kitty condo with a resting bench, blanket and litter box. Cat guests also get daily play and exercise time in the office.

Key features

• Individual inside runs with raised Kuranda dog beds
• Partially covered outdoor runs used three times daily
• Optional nature walks through woods and pasture
• One-on-one playtime sessions for dogs
• Custom-made kitty condos with daily out-of-condo time

Practical details

Published nightly rates run from $12 to $32. Special diets can be accommodated, so pets on particular food don't have to switch for the week. Booking is by phone at 260-248-2070, and proof of current vaccinations is required for every guest. Full details are on the kennel's site at animalinninc.com.
