Wonderful staff! I can tell they love dogs! I use their doggie day care and boarding regularly. I highly recommend Armadale Farm Kennel!

Report
We unfortunately had the worst experience at this kennel. They did not give our cat the medication that the vet recommended/prescribed. Their reasoning was that our cat "did not seem to need the medication". Nobody called us to ask us if this was okay. Nobody consulted with our vet. Additionally, they lost 1/2 of the cat toys we provided them. Lastly, our billing was completely misleading & different than what was initially told to us. I would not recommend this place to anyone. We absolutely love Armadale Animal Hospital (our vet next door), but this kennel is sadly not what we hoped for.
