Gentry's Kennel

Gentry's Kennel offers dog boarding and doggy daycare at 5033 E County Rd 1200 S in Haubstadt, Indiana, and it boards cats too. It has a capacity of 11, which makes it a small operation. Owners who want a quieter place than a large boarding center may like that. Bookings are taken by phone.

What does a dog's day look like here?

Dogs stay in private, climate-controlled suites with optional access to an outdoor run. They get daily exercise in a secure 60' x 15' play yard. On request, staff will play frisbee, tug-of-war or ball, so active dogs can burn off energy between naps.

Owners can also book extra walk time for a longer outing. These walks cover the grounds, the lake and the patio, which suits dogs who love to sniff around.

What services are offered?

• Overnight dog boarding and doggy daycare
• Cat boarding in a private cat room
• Bathing with hypoallergenic shampoos and conditioners
• Nail trimming for all breeds
• Medication administration

What about cats?

Cats have their own private room with large three-tier cages and shelves for perching. A litter box and litter are provided, so owners don't need to pack them.

Practical details for owners

The kennel holds a Canine and Feline CPR and First Aid certification. That can reassure owners of older pets or pets with health conditions. Vaccinations are required before boarding, so have your pet's records ready when you call. The kennel's website lists rates of $30 to $40 per day. To reserve a spot, call 812-486-5579.
