Bear Brook Kennel

Bear Brook Kennel handles dog boarding in Brewer, Maine, along with daycare, grooming, and dog training at its Bennett Road facility. The kennel is veterinarian-owned and operated, and it sits directly behind Brewer Vet Clinic. Staff are certified in Pet First Aid and CPR.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in standard kennels with radiant-heated floors and indoor/outdoor runs
• Presidential and Vice Presidential Suites for dogs who need more room
• Doggy daycare, grooming, and training
• Pet cams for the cattery and the dog suites
• Medication administration and special-diet feeding

What sets it apart

The radiant heat under the standard kennel floors is a practical answer to a Maine winter. Each standard kennel pairs an indoor space with an outdoor run, so dogs are not shut into one room all day. Owners who want a larger setup can book a Presidential or Vice Presidential Suite instead. The kennel also boards cats and exotic pets, and the pet cams cover the cattery and the dog suites.
