Your Dog's Best Friend of Avilla

Your Dog's Best Friend of Avilla handles dog boarding and cat boarding in Avilla, Indiana, from a kennel at 1156 North 800 East. Dogs stay in either a private suite or an indoor/outdoor run. Cats have their own condos, with reduced rates when more than one cat shares.

What a stay looks like

The private suites each come with a personal T.V. and fan, and visual contact between dogs in the suites is limited. That setup is aimed at dogs with high anxiety, or any dog that settles better without watching the neighbors all day. Dogs who would rather be moving can take an indoor/outdoor run instead, which gives them outdoor space through the day.

Owners boarding two dogs can put them in the same suite or kennel at a discounted rate for the second dog. The same idea applies on the cat side, where additional cats in one condo cost less.
