Questions

What vaccinations are required for boarding?

We require rabies, distemper, and bordetella vaccinations. Rabies and distemper need 1-3 year certificates, while bordetella must be updated every 6 months.

Why do you remove pet collars during boarding?

Collars pose entanglement risks in our chain-link enclosures. We use secure ID cards attached to runs for identification while maintaining safety standards.

Can pets stay together in one suite?

Yes, we accommodate two family pets in the same suite. This option is available for dogs that cohabitate peacefully in their home environment.

Do you accept raw food diets?

No, we cannot feed raw diets due to salmonella risks. We recommend bringing food in plastic containers or original packaging for safety and convenience.

How do you handle pet anxiety?

Most pets adjust within a day. Our staff monitors behavior closely and provides extra attention when needed. Owners living on-site ensure consistent care during transitions.

What's included in grooming services?

Our grooming includes blueberry facials, premium shampoo, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression. Custom styling options are available upon consultation.

Love Sundance KennelS. They absolutely do a fantastic job with my pup for the week we're away. I NEVER stress when she is there. We have been taking my pup there for 6 years now and we get her groomed there as well. She looks and smells wonderful when she's done. Highly recommend

We have been using Sundance Kennels for years now and my pups could not be happier when THEY get to go on vacation! Throughout the pandemic, Sundance has been extremely through and safe. The staff is wonderful and the kennel is well kept/clean. Love the personalized report cards of my pups stay and all of the add-on options to make them feel right at home! I don't need to worry about my 4-legged kiddos while on vacation, because I know they are in good hands! PAWS-down, Sundance is PUP-TASTIC!

If I can rate it 0 stars . Called multiple times didn't pick. went walk in (with our 7 month old sweet puppy) today around 12.30pm, a lady came out from building seemed irritated (don't know what at). We asked if we could tour and discuss boarding rates.at which she started in a very mean tone, that how could we come without appointment and that she would need to have dog vaccination records to even let us tour. seriously?

We went to 3 similar boarding kennels yesterday all at same time.all welcomed us without appointments and talked to us like professionals. She bluntly refused us for boarding our dog by saying that there is a waitlist for the week we need to board. If this is how you behave with potential customers, then how you treat dogs in your facility? Very unprofessional.!

Sundance Kennels took real good care of our 1 year old German Shepherd. They kept us informed of his activities and made him feel at home. Comfortable enough for a bath, which is his least favorite thing. We would definitely book a stay for him again.

I just LOVE when Libby returns from her grooming appointment at Sundance. She is so beautiful, clean, happy and soft! And I trust them to care for her while she boards with them. We highly recommend Sundance Kennels, Inc.

We've been taking our pups to Sundance for a few years now and we would never take them any place else! They are experts on dogs and REALLY care about your pets! Their groomer is really good and won Courier Times Best of Bucks 2019. Sundance themselves have won Best of Bucks for the last couple years, and it's well deserved!
