Mantayo Kennels & Dog School

Mantayo Kennels & Dog School is a boarding, daycare, grooming and training facility at 1220 S Wadsworth Blvd. in Lakewood, Colorado. Owners comparing dog boarding in Lakewood will find individual runs, an outdoor dog park and obedience and agility training on the same property.

What is a boarding stay like?

Each boarded dog gets its own indoor run measuring 4' x 3', plus access to a covered outdoor run. The runs stay comfortable through the seasons, with radiant heated floors in winter and swamp cooling in summer. Staff clean every run thoroughly each day.

Meals are covered. Mantayo provides Purina Pro Plan food at no extra cost, and staff can give medication to dogs that need it. Dogs can also get one-on-one attention through FUNTIMES, the kennel's individual play sessions.

What services does Mantayo offer?

• Boarding for small, medium, large and giant dogs
• Dog daycare
• Grooming
• Obedience and agility training
• Outdoor dog park

What makes it different?

Mantayo runs a kennel and a dog school at the same location. That setup suits owners who want grooming or training handled at the same place their dog boards. The kennel's own site puts real weight on keeping the facility clean and tidy.

Hours, rates and booking

Mantayo is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. It also keeps Sunday hours, so a quick call can confirm the best drop-off or pickup time.
