Cedar Run Company

Cedar Run Company runs dog boarding and daycare out of 2705 Stonegate Court in Hiawatha, IA, and it takes dogs of every size, from small breeds up to giant ones. Cats board there too. Rates published on the company's own site run $25 to $55 per night, and reservations are handled online.

Services on site

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats of all sizes
• Dog daycare with indoor and outdoor play areas
• Grooming and training
• Medication administration and special diet feeding
• Private, climate-controlled suites

What stands out

Play space gets real attention here. The indoor and outdoor areas use AstroTurf surfaces, and an air purification system runs throughout the boarding facility. Dogs sleep on raised Kuranda beds the facility provides, so owners do not need to pack bedding.

Webcam access lets owners check in on their dog during the day. That tends to matter most for a first boarding stay.

The staff includes Certified Veterinary Technicians and Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistants. Those credentials show up in the Wellness Center, which offers hydrotherapy, laser, and PEMF therapy for dogs working back from an injury or slowing down with age. It is an unusual thing to find attached to a boarding kennel, and it means a dog with mobility issues can stay somewhere that already understands the problem.

Hours and booking

The facility is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, seven days a week, including weekends and the drop-off and pick-up windows are described as extended. Booking happens online. Questions can go to (319) 393-1362 or info@cedarruncompany.com, and the mailing address is 2705 Stonegate Court, Hiawatha, IA 52233.
