When dog owners look for a kennel where they can leave their pets with confidence while the pet owners are away they generally ask a few questions of potential kennels: “do you keep the rooms clean, provide fresh water and will my dog have to lie under a hot sun all day?” To these and other questions, Aldens Kennels, Ringwood, passes the test with flying colors.

More than that, Aldens offers nature walks, playtime, special snacks, including puppy approved ice cream, and a mix of dog boarding and dog training. At Aldens, they’ll even transport your dog to and from vet and spa appointments while you’re away.

“We’re always looking for new ways to make sure your dog’s kennel experience is as pleasant as possible,” said Al Domrase, owner of Aldens Kennels. “We know that spending time in a kennel can be traumatic for dogs. We do everything we can to make sure that, not only is it not traumatic here, but that dogs have a good time while in our care.”

While Aldens passes the usual questions with flying colors, occasionally, someone will ask a question that isn’t as common. For instance, a pet owner recently asked, “I have two dogs, can they stay in the same pen at your kennel?”

The dogs’ owner explained that his pets are inseparable. He was worried the dogs wouldn’t take well to individual rooms.

Domrase quickly ensured the pet owner that keeping the dogs together is not a problem. He went on to describe the newly remodeled and spacious rooms at Aldens.

“Our rooms are inside and out with a doggy door in between,” Domrase said. “It’s shaded outside and heated and cooled inside.”

While the folks at Aldens have heard most questions at some time or another, as Domrase put it, “You never know. But, whatever someone is looking for in terms of taking care of their dog, if we don’t provide that service already, it’s something we’re willing to consider.”
