What makes it different

The kennel is licensed by the state of Maine under kennel license ME F251. It complies with humane care standards from the Pet Professional Guild and from Pet Industry Advocacy International, two groups that set ethics guidelines for the pet care trade. Its credentials also include a Professional Canine Behavior Consultant (PCBC-A) accreditation, which points to formal training on the behavior side rather than boarding alone. The business also runs a retail store with more than 20 brands of pet food and supplies, plus frequent buyer and rewards programs.
