Vixen Hall Kennels

Vixen Hall Kennels offers dog boarding and daycare on a 22-acre country farm at 925 Saginaw Road in Oxford, PA. It also offers grooming and cat boarding, so a household with more than one kind of pet can book everything in one place.

What does a boarding stay include?

Dogs stay in one of 19 indoor/outdoor runs in the main building or in one of 11 runs in the lower kennel, which has an attached play yard. The whole facility is heated and air conditioned. Each day includes two walks and a midday play session that the staff calls "camp."

• Two daily walks plus a midday camp session
• Complimentary treats, bones, and peanut butter-filled Kongs
• Medication administration and special diet handling
• Grooming that can be booked alongside a stay
• Email photo updates while the dog is away

What makes it different?

The farm setting is the main draw. Dogs have outdoor space to explore, and there are indoor play areas for the rest of the day. The kennel describes its approach in warm, plain terms: plenty of love and play time, without piling extra fees onto the bill.

Small dogs under 25 lbs can stay in the Living Room, a shared space where they spend time together instead of in separate runs. Dogs that do better on their own can stay in a private suite. Cats get their own setup, with a shared kitty corner for social cats and private condos for cats that want quiet.
