The Kennel at Arbor Lane

The Kennel at Arbor Lane is a boarding kennel at 4835 E. Edgewood Ave. on the south side of Indianapolis, handling dog boarding in Indianapolis for small, medium, and large dogs as well as cat boarding. Every indoor room has its own attached outdoor patio, so a dog can move between inside and out. The property covers 15 acres of open space.

What the rooms are like

Each room measures 65 square feet with 8 foot ceilings, and the kennels are air conditioned and fully heated. Natural light reaches the indoor areas, and background music runs 24/7. Dogs sleep on Kuranda beds with fleece blankets. Premium grain-free dog food is included, which matters for owners who would rather not pack a week of meals.

Services and amenities

• Traditional boarding for dogs, plus boarding for cats
• Private indoor suites with attached outdoor patios
• Climate control: air conditioning in summer, full heat in winter
• Grooming
• Medication administration and special diets

Practical details

Reservations are made online at thekennelatarborlane.com. Vaccinations are required for every pet that stays. The kennel is open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday, and 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM on Sunday. That Sunday window is short, so it helps to plan the return trip around it. For questions, the phone number is (317) 786-0773 and the email is info@arborlanekennel.com.

Who it suits

Dogs that settle better with a room of their own get one here, with a patio attached. Dogs on daily medication or a specific diet are accommodated. Households with both a dog and a cat can book both in the same place, since the kennel takes cats as well.
