Excellent place to bring your pups and the only kennel I would bring my dogs to in Huntsville. The owners are good people. I will more than likely have to use their services again as my wife and I travel for work.

Dogs well taken care of. I had boarded dogs here before many years ago. Now have two on medication so figured it would be better to board as opposed to pet sitter who is not great with giving meds. With that said my complaint is that I was not able to pick up my dogs by 6 PM due to baggage glitch at Houston airport. Stephanie texted me that if I did not pick up by that time, then I would have to wait until 7:30 the next morning.
I live one hour north of Magnolia Kennel and figured this was convenient because it was on the way to airport and also on the way home. She said they had plans for the evening and therefore I couldn't do a late pick up. Needless to say I was forced to come all the way back to pick up my dogs the next morning. No apologies and no excuses were made by owner. Somehow that personal service got lost. Enough said.

My wife and I moved to Huntsville and boarded our cat here during the actual move-in process. Our cat is old and very skittish. As a matter of fact, we weren't sure she would live through all the upset. These folks took great care of her. They kept us informed on how she was doing. They were able to get her to calm down and start eating and drinking regularly again. She was in better condition when we picked her up than when we dropped her off. We couldn't be happier with them and the service they gave us. If you have a critter you love, the folks are someone you can trust to take good care of them. I highly recommend them.

If I could give 10 STARS I would! I couldn't be more grateful for such a great place to take care of my dog! The owners always provide the best care and are always accommodating with my needs (even if they're last minute). 10/10 recommend this place to anyone who ever needs a home away from home for their furbabies!

Our Australian Shepherd Mix, Liberty, is a 14 year old beloved member of our family and has been boarded only at Magnolia Kennel through the years. Liberty always seems to look forward to seeing Ms. Stephanie. Honestly, Liberty gets excited when we turn in to the driveway. She jumps out of the car with her tail wagging, runs around just a bit and then straight for the door to the kennel. We always have her bathed before we pick her up and her long hair is always cleaned up very nicely.
They also make sure her ears are clean; the vest always comments on how nicely clean her ears are. The staff always lets us know if there are any concerns about Liberty's health or behavior so that we can contact the vet if it is needed. I highly recommend Magnolia Kennel.
