Stout Kennels Doggie Camp

Stout Kennels offers dog boarding and daycare in Medina, Ohio, at 6690 Avon Lake Rd. The schedule is built around outdoor time: dogs get five supervised playtimes a day across multiple large outdoor play yards. Play groups are structured by temperament, so quieter dogs are not turned out with the rowdier crowd.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding and daytime daycare, all breeds welcome
• Grooming and training
• Five supervised playtimes a day in structured play groups
• Medication administration and special diet feeding
• Climate-controlled kennels with heated floors and air conditioning

Comfort and setup

The building is climate controlled through both seasons. Air conditioning handles the hot months, and the heated floors make this the only kennel in Medina County with that feature. Senior dogs are given orthopedic bedding, and standard bedding is provided for any dog who arrives without one from home. Food and water go into stainless steel dishes that are sanitized between uses.

Sorting dogs by temperament matters more than it sounds. A mature dog who wants a slow sniff around the yard and a young dog who needs to run hard get different groups and different company, which tends to make the outdoor time useful for both.

Practical details

Booking is handled by phone at 330-667-3292. Stout Kennels is open seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Sunday. Proof of current vaccinations is required for every dog, so owners should have records ready before the first stay. Dogs on daily medication or a specific diet can be accommodated; owners should raise those needs when they call. More information is available at stoutkennels.com or by email at info@stoutkennels.com.
