K9 Nation LA

K9 Nation LA offers dog boarding, daycare, grooming, and training in Stonewall, LA, at 512 Powell Rd. The kennel covers overnight stays and day visits, and it also runs board-and-train obedience programs for owners who want more than supervision out of a stay.

What services are available

• Traditional boarding in climate-controlled kennels
• Doggy daycare with indoor and outdoor play areas
• Board-and-train obedience programs
• On-site grooming
• A "Stay and Play" option that adds daycare activity to an overnight stay

What the boarding setup looks like

Boarding dogs stay in 6×5 kennels, which gives a dog room to stand, turn, and stretch out instead of just shifting in place. The boarding building is climate-controlled, which is worth something in a Louisiana August. Outside there is a play yard with equipment, and indoor play space covers the days when the weather does not cooperate. Owners who want to walk the building before committing can ask for a tour, which is a reasonable step if a dog has never been boarded before.

Hours, rates, and booking

The facility is open 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day, weekends included, so pickup and drop-off are not limited to weekdays. Boarding is listed at $28 per day on the kennel's website. Reservations are handled by phone at (318) 272-1809 rather than through a form. Vaccinations are required, so owners should plan to provide records from their vet.

Who it fits

The mix of services suits an owner who would rather not drive to three different places. A weekend trip, a standing daycare day, a grooming appointment, and a longer training stay all run out of the same building in Stonewall, and staff there already know the dog by the second visit.
