Boarding dogs in Knoxville.

[SingleStack]

Hey guys,

Just asking your oppinions on another random subject.

We are taking a trip out of state sometime next year. we'll be gone about a week.

The problem is we planned the trip on a week when our female golden retriever will be in heat.

We have two, one male and one female and neither are fixed.

We are trying to decide if we will board both or take one with us. It would be way too hard to take both.

 

So, will boarding places take dogs that arent fixed, how bout females in heat?

Is there any places youd recomend?

Wagg-n-Purr in Athens is a great place.  We board both of ours there once or twice a year.  They won't take a dog in heat as it disrupts the kennel, as you can imagine, but spaying/neutering is not required.  Any kennel will require that your dogs be current on rabies, parvo, bordetella and distemper shots.  Let me know if you need more info.

thanks, athens is a little far. but not out of the question if i cant find a good place closer.

our dogs are 1 1/2 and seven months old now. and neither have ever been away from us for more than a typical work day.

We use Butler Animal Clinic on Oak Ridge Highway in Karns to board and as our vet. They are great and have Saturday afternoon pick up so you can get you pet when you get back from a trip.

We have had good luck with belle's in Halls. The Newfoundlands love her and her air conditioning.

Bluegrass Animal Hospital on a Ebenezer Rd has done very well with our two.

We've used Slo Dea kennel for our lunatic dog for several years. They're super nice. The "kennel" is a converted house so each dog (or two if they're from the same owner) gets it's own room. Big fenced yard to run around too.
