Karen's Animal House

Karen's Animal House offers dog boarding and daycare in Las Cruces, NM, out of a climate-controlled facility at 1646 Mahaney Dr. The kennels are indoors, and small, medium, and large dogs are all accepted.

Dogs are individually exercised outdoors four times per day, which breaks up the hours spent in a kennel. Staff will feed a dog's regular food, so owners are encouraged to bring what their dog already eats. Medication can be given during a stay, and special diets are accommodated.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in small, medium, and large kennel sizes
• Daycare for dogs that need a day of activity
• Grooming and training services
• Medication administration and special diet handling
• A separate cattery with a climbing wall and a window perch

What sets it apart

Cats stay in their own cattery, away from the dog kennels, with a climbing wall and a window perch to sit in. The facility also boards rodents, reptiles, and birds. Active and retired military and law enforcement receive 10% off, and families boarding more than one dog get 50% off each additional dog sharing a kennel.

Booking and practical details

Rates run $32 to $40 per night, depending on the kennel size a dog needs. The facility is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Sunday. Reservations are made by phone at 575-525-8065, and proof of vaccination is required before a stay. Owners who want to look around first can stop in for a facility tour during business hours.
