Lilac Lane Kennels

Lilac Lane Kennels is a family-owned, USDA-licensed kennel offering dog boarding in Reinbeck, Iowa, at 19611 T Ave. It's a small rural operation run by the family itself. The owners describe their approach as close, individual attention for each dog in their care.

What is a typical day like for boarded dogs?

Dogs don't spend the whole day in a pen. They get daily exercise, potty breaks, and playtime, and the owners spend that time with the dogs directly. A large outdoor play pen gives dogs room to move around under supervision. When the weather turns bad, an indoor play area keeps the routine going.

What are the pens and facility like?

The building is heated and air-conditioned, which matters during an Iowa summer or a January cold snap. Dogs stay in indoor pens that come in two sizes. Smaller dogs get a snug space, and larger dogs have room to stretch out.

• Larger 5'x5' and smaller 4'x4' indoor pens
• Heated and air-conditioned building
• Large supervised outdoor play pen
• Indoor play space for poor-weather days
• Multi-dog families can share one large pen

Can dogs from the same household stay together?

Yes. Families with more than one dog can board them together in a single large pen. That can help dogs who settle in better with a housemate nearby. Published boarding rates run from $15 to $25 per day.

How do owners book a stay?

Boarding is available seven days a week. Owners can call the kennel at 319.830.6260 or email lilaclanekennels@gmail.com to check availability. Proof of vaccination is required before a dog can board, so it helps to have records ready when reaching out.
