The Fur Seasons

The Fur Seasons is an in-home, cage-free dog boarding and daycare service at 505 Southline Drive in Lebanon, Ohio. Dogs stay in a home setting, not a kennel, and only three or four dogs are there at a time.

What kind of care does The Fur Seasons offer?

The main services are overnight stays and doggy daycare. Overnight guests sleep in a large private room. During the day, dogs can play as much as they like in a fenced-in yard. Dog walking and cat sitting are also offered.

• Cage-free overnight boarding in a home
• Doggy daycare
• Fenced-in yard with unlimited play time
• Large private room for overnights
• Toys, beds, blankets and homemade treats

What makes it different from a traditional kennel?

The biggest difference is size. With only three or four dogs at a time, each dog gets more one-on-one attention than a busy kennel could give. The owner describes the approach as treating every pet like part of the family, and the setting is a home rather than a building full of runs.

All breeds, shapes and sizes are welcome, from small dogs up to giant breeds. The business is fully insured. Anyone boarding more than one dog can ask about multiple-dog discount rates.

Practical details for Lebanon dog owners

Because the group is so small, openings can fill quickly. Owners planning a holiday or a long trip should book early.
