Westin Kennels is a great home away from home for our dog Alvin! We always trust the friendly and courteous staff members there to take good care of Alvin and send him home just as healthy and happy as he arrived there! The price is affordable, especially for the exceptional facilities and staff who provide the best care for our pet!:

Dardenne Prairie location review. I just had my dog groomed at this location. They did a great job and my dog came home happy and smelling great! I highly recommend Westinn Kennels in Dardenne Prairie and their groomer Braizia. she is the best!

Being from out of town and traveling with my senior dachshund, I called Westinn for day care while we toured the city. They were able to accommodate on a few hours notice. I was very impressed with their professionalism and care of my dachshund. In order to know her better, They asked many questions about her temperament, care and habits. When I picked her up, my dachshund was not anxious. She' obviously had a good time. I was also pleased with the reasonable rate. I highly recommend this business.

I wanted to leave another review as seeing how since I reviewed last, our dog did die from staying there, and we have the necropsy results showing the negligence. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOGS HERE. Another story just surfaced and is making its rounds on Facebook also about an older dog who was hurt by them. What makes all of this worse is that they do not care one bit.

Never did we receive cooperation, explanation as to what happened, condolences, sympathy, or even an "I'm sorry". Our dog died and they refused to take our calls. They refused to help the doctors while he was in the ICU before passing, and refused to provide logs and surveillance to authorities. We've caught them in lie after lie and multiple contradictions. Kevin West is a disgrace to this community.

We will never stop and we will never go away until this place pays for what they have done to ALL of these animals. The stories are endless, and we've documented every single one. It's been almost 3 months now since our George passed, and they're hoping we just fade away. WILL NOT HAPPEN, MR. WEST. See you soon.

My dog enjoyed his stay. When we arrived to pick up our pet he had messed in his cage. The wonderful team at Westinn Kennels gave him a quick bath and made him presentable. Thank you very much.

We have been taking our dogs for over 15 years here. They are professional and they truly care about your pet. They treat them like they were their own. Highly recommend.

**** THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST PIT BULLS DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS ***** I am appalled with any organization that discriminates against certain breeds and I refuse to give any business towards them and want to warn others before they deal with the heartbreak that my pitty did. I have boarded both of my dogs here before with no issues UNTIL THEY CHANGED THEIR POLICY LAST MONTH.

Now Pit Bulls are have different rules than any other breeds and are ISOLATED! UNACCEPTABLE. I don't know about you, but isolating a dog while I am out of town is the worst thing possible. Dogs need love too! I recommend taking your Pits to Sorerson Kennels in Defiance for the same price AND better service will you won't have your pups discriminated against. Plus Sorerson has better kennels and fenced in fields to run around in.

I don't trust anyone with my babies. But you guys. they wag their tails they go willingly.they are happy to see me when I come back and they have happy wiggle butts. Your options are awesome and I can spoil them but if it's a tight week they are just as loved. Staff is amazing and I can go on for days about how wonderful y'all are. I call and check on them and you have details. AMAZING. Only place my pups will ever be boarded. Keep up the wonderful work I am happy to know I can leave a part of my heart with you guys and they are well kept.

They don't take Akita's or any type of "aggressive breeds" at both locations, I called to verify for each, even though their website clearly says " WestInn Kennels believes all types of pets deserve a chance to run and play and enjoy time away from home." So that's a lie right there. Our dog has been in another daycare since a puppy and we recently moved to Wentzville and tried to call this place.

They didn't even give him a chance or let him do a placement test. What a shame when your website is deceiving and you're clearly going against certain breeds. So where was our dogs chance? Really a shame to be shaming certain breeds when everyone knows it's how you train your dog, not the breed! Shame on you guys.

Took my dog here. She loves it. It has great services; the staff is friendly. The only thing I wish they would do is have an updated daily or detailed list of everything my dog did while I was there, and maybe took pics of my dog doing it.

We take our dog here all the time. Their prices are very reasonable and affordable, they treat your dog like it was their own dog. Our Bobo always leaves the kennel smelling fantastic. I recommend this kennel to any dog owner who wants dog handlers with expertise.

We have boarded and had our dogs groomed here for many years and it's a wonderful place. Our dogs always come back exhausted from playing with the other dogs. They seem to be so happy when they go. Grooming is awesome and affordable. Very friendly and helpful staff who truly love dogs.

I have been taking my dogs to Westinn Kennels for many years. There are kennels closer to my home, but I choose Westinn. My dogs are happy there and gets lots of loving attention from the staff. I NEVER worry about my dogs when they are in the hands of their Westinn "family." I highly recommend them.

Just picked up my fur babies from their first kennel stay at Westinn B & B in Dardenne Prairie. Full disclosure, someone close to me works there but was not there during my dogs stay. The staff is sweet, knowledgeable, and well trained! My dogs both did great, and as one of them is 15 years old, I was extra nervous for her. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for their first kennel stay!

This review is for the Wentzville location. I took my dog there for only 3 nights and when I picked him up, he didn't seem happy to see me. I soon discovered why. He had contracted kennel cough which had turned to bronchitis within the few days he was there. No phone call to say he was sick, no notification when he was picked up to go home that he was sick either.

So we had an emergency vet visit on the weekend which cost $284.00, which did not help his condition. Then a visit with our regular vet, another $95.00. This was a really expensive 3 night stay and coming home to a sick dog. Also, everytime my dogs have stayed there, there is not one bit of dog food or treats left over to bring home, even though ample supplies of both were taken for them. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We have had to take our dog to the vet 5 times in the last 1.5 years after his stay at this kennel. Our dog was bitten in the mouth during his stay and we have had lots of issues since, as he has a foreign object in his wound. This kennel denied that the dog was bitten during his stay and instead suggested that he is a jumper, and his mouth was impaled by a fence, yet our dog has never once in his 3 years attempted to jump a fence, and 4 vets have agreed that he was bitten.

The manager is absolutely in denial that her staff neglects to watch the dogs during play time and never attempted to call us to let us know our dog was injured and did not seek a vets help. Customer service is horrible, the dogs are neglected and I would never recommend this kennel to anyone. When we called to make a complaint manager never called back after we left several messages.

I contacted the owner Sharon to set up a training evaluation for my dog. We set up a time and date for the Wentzville location. I arrived 10 minutes early and told the front desk I was there for an evaluation. They called the owner who I was supposed to meet with and she told them she could not make it as she was at their other location. The front desk said I could drive to Weldon Spring location if I wanted and acted like it was no big deal that she didn't show up.

I took off work to come for the evaluation and did not have time to drive out there. I then called the owner herself who acted like she could care less that she missed the appointment. It was very evident that she didn't want my business or care that she was completely unprofessional about missing our appointment. A simple apology and I would have gladly rescheduled, but I'm sure there are others out there who need my business.

When I arrived at the kennel for a tour I actually thought it was slow and pretty empty. How surprised I was to find the kennels full of dogs, but silent. This seems to be because they are in" nap time ", I was told. The dogs were in the pitch black. All I could think of after leaving was that I wonder when someone is going to put the lights back on for those poor dogs. My feeling is that no one does.

I was thinking about boarding my dog here and went and toured this kennel. When the lady showed us the kennel area she told us the dogs were having nap time and all of lights were off! This was like 1 in the afternoon and they had the dogs sitting in the pitch black. This bothered me and when I got home looked and saw another reviewer had the same experience.

What are the chances that the dogs are sitting in the dark both times? I do not think it is ok to leave a bunch of dogs in the pitch black all day. I would not recommend taking your dog there.

Our pup stayed for ten days. I thought it was pretty expensive. When they brought him out he was coughing. The handler looked up at me but I figured he was just excited. When I got him home I discovered that he had caught something while there. I called the kennel to let them know. They said that sometimes that can happen. They wanted me to call them back and let them know what my vet said if I took my dog to the vet. I don't know what I expected but we will not be going back there.
