The Kennel

We can give your pet the open air feeling that is most conducive to its well-being and "that right spot" that will make its stay here the most enjoyable possible. The surroundings are quintessestial Vermont, nestled next to a quiet, charming brook. Open, clean, airy, and total country in the summer; cozy, quiet, and warm in the winter. Cleanliness is our trademark for all seasons. Since the structure is "zoned" by the nature of construction, the most desireable suite can be found for your dog's personality.

We know that qualified veterinary service is a necessity to the discriminating owner: three experienced vets are on call at all times. If the need should arise, we have an isolation area available, affording the same comforts to the animal but also allowing protection from the rest of the kennel.

We will not board animals with contagious diseases. That's something your veterinarian is much better equipped to do.

Advance reservations are required, as well as proof of current preventative vaccinations. You may make reservations or inspect the facility any weekday between the hours of 8 A.M. and 6 P.M.. Saturday hours are 8 A.M. to 12 P.M.

Diamond Brook Kennel is a Vermont pet boarding, pet grooming facility and Vermont Labrador Breeder that offers Tri-Tronics dog training equipment, Labrador Retrievers, pet supplies, pet food, Vermont Water Dogs, Tri-Tronics Electronic dog training equipment and more. We have been serving the Vermont area for 23 years. We pride ourselves on our customers satisfaction.

When you bring your pet to us, there are pertinent bits of information we will need on check-in, such as:

• When were shots last administered? If you do not have a record, we will call your veterinarian to confirm. We can also arrange to have appropriate vaccinations administered.
• Where can you be reached in case of emergency?
• What brand of food does your dpg normally eat? Does he or she have any special dietary considerations?
• Are medications to be administered?
• Does your pet exhibit phobias or idiosyncratic behaviors?

We will not knowingly expose anyone's pet to parasites: your pet will be checked to determine if he is harboring fleas or ticks. If the examiner should find "critters" or evidence of same, we will still board your pet, but only if we are allowed to completely eradicate the pests. If necessary, your pet will be groomed (including ears, nails, and anal glands) at regular rates.

Our runs are not cages. They are as open, safe , and are fitted according to the amount of space that the size of the pet requires. The minimum size is 56 square feet, the largest 90 square feet. These include covered outside runs in case of precipitation, as well as the heated indoor runs that will allow your pet the freedom and exercise required. We also rotate the animals to our outside exercise yards giving your pet plenty of activity. If additional services are necessary, the special options listed on our Tariff sheet includes leash walks and a socialization period which allows your dog to play ball, frisbee, swim, enjoy a lakeside walk or just romp, with a human or with other dogs.

Diet is designed to provide the nutrition you pet needs, and we provide your pet the finest diet commercially available. Normally, a high level protein diet covered with the more tasty soft moist and canned products. Cats are fed accordingly with a combination of dry and canned cat food. We do have refrigeration in the kennel in case you would like to provide your pet home-cooked meals.
