Okatoma Kennel

Okatoma Kennel handles dog boarding in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, from a family-run property at 342 Lux Road that also takes cats and offers training. Dogs stay in the K-9 Camp, while cats have a separate building, the Kitty Condos in Musgrave Manor. Small and large dogs are both accepted, and pets from the same household can board together.

What the facility includes

Heating and air conditioning run throughout the buildings. Dogs have indoor/outdoor runs and large grass exercise yards, and there are all-indoor special-care areas for pets that do better inside. The cat suites are multi-level and share a play room. The mix of accommodations means a nervous small dog and a high-energy large dog do not need the same setup.

• Indoor/outdoor runs and large grass exercise yards
• Heating and air conditioning throughout
• Bathing and grooming
• Medication administration and special diets
• Dog training on site

What owners should know

Okatoma Kennel offers dog training in addition to boarding, and both dog and cat owners can use the same facility. Daily attention and exercise are part of every stay. Staff can give medication and follow a special diet, which matters for older dogs and pets with health conditions.

Bathing is available, so a dog can go home clean after a long stay. Vaccinations are required before any pet boards.
