New Inn Kennels

New Inn Kennels is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 149 Sheepskin Hollow Road in East Haddam, CT, and it takes cats too. The climate-controlled kennel has capacity for 66 pets, plus a separate cats-only room with six two-level condos. Staff are on site around the clock, and they can administer medication for pets that need it.

What they offer

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats
• Supervised group play, including Board & Play
• Grooming
• Slatmill fitness sessions, nature walks, and mental stimulation games
• Cuddle time and private play sessions

What sets it apart

The play yard is built for dogs who like to move: sandboxes, splash pools, and rocks to climb. Indoor play space covers the days the weather doesn't cooperate. Dogs who don't enjoy a group setting can get one-on-one time instead, and slatmill sessions give high-energy dogs a workout a play yard alone won't. Staff hold certifications in Pet CPR, first aid, and canine body language.
