Cedar Creek Kennel, Smithville

The walkthrough

You come in the front, not around the back. Leashes on, and somebody takes the bag and reads the feeding note out loud so we both know it is right.

Sealed concrete, floor drains in every run, and a gate you can see through. This is the photograph every boarding kennel refuses to publish.

Photo to shootA full run from the aisle with the gate closed, floor drain and sealed floor clearly visible, clean and dry

Two fenced yards so the big dogs and the small dogs are never out at the same time. Shade on the west side from two o'clock.

Somebody sleeps on the property. Last walk is nine, lights out is ten, and a walk through happens at two.
