How is Amherst Boarding Kennel different from other boarding facilities?

During the day, our borders receive lots of play time in our indoor/outdoor play yards, our play yards are very spacious, and we have the biggest and most play yards of any boarding facility in Western New York. All dogs at Amherst Boarding Kennel are actively engaged in play throughout the day by kennel staff. We include this exercise, plus feeding and administering routine medications in our rates. There are NO EXTRA charges to have your dog treated as it would be at home. The only exception is if an animal requires an injectable medication such as insulin.
