East Bay Kennels

I cannot recommend East Bay Kennels enough! My two bichons go for their grooming and Carl the groomer there is amazing with them. My boys have separation anxiety and I feel so comfortable sending them there because I know how well they will be taken care of. Prices are extremely reasonable too!

I chose East Bay because of all the good reviews I read on merchantcircle.com and across the web when I googled "East Bay Kennels review".

When I dropped Olive off (for 5 days), I was nervous because she's pretty much my child and we don't spend much time apart. I asked to see the facilities, and for such a small town/area, the kennel was packed! I was happy about this because Olive loves playing with other dogs.

The place was clean and while the kid at the front desk seemed mildly miserable, the rest of the staff I met were very nice. When I picked Olive up, they knew her very well so I could tell she wasn't ignored or anything while she was there.

They separate the dogs into, I think, three groups.. The big dogs, medium and little dogs. Then they let them play together in this outdoor area for different periods throughout the day.

When Olive got home, she slept for 12 hours straight. Me thinks she got plenty of exercise!!

Also, her stay seemed to cure a little of her anxiety about me leaving. She used to whine if I ever left her in the crate while I ran out to go see a movie or something (in general, she usually comes with me everywhere). Now she whines for about a second and then just mopes ;)

The bad thing though, is I think she got used to playing rough with the other doggies at the kennel cause she has this new habit of getting excited, jumping up and BITING MY ELBOW. I don't know what that's about but I hope she gets over it.

Overall, they took good care of my doggy-daughter and they're not overly expensive ($125 for 5 days). Pickup is noon (which they don't charge you for), so it's really like a little doggy hotel.

I didn't have any trouble getting her boarded, just had the vet fax over her shot records. Don't think she picked up any fleas while she was there either.

I'd certainly recommend this place for any other doggies.

I wouldn't take a member of the family any where else. The dogs get out to play with each other, which can easily be seen on your first visit.

The staff is knowledgeable and caring. The boarding rules are strict, so call before you drop off your pet.

As many have already said -- wag more, bark less -- this place earns 5 solid wags, and keeps them going.

I brought my dog here to be groomed, and they did a great job & were very friendly & accommodating. Was able to get an appointment quickly & very reasonable price! About one-half of what I pay on the island. Will definitely be returning!

Great kennel! I have been using them for awhile and my dog enjoys being here and playing with all his "Friends". Reasonable prices too. Grooming is not great, so i don't use that service. And at times the front desk is not the friendliest, but sometimes they are. BUT the people working with the dogs are super nice and the dogs get out of their runs and play a LOT. I recommend this place highly.

If you love your dog and care for it, this is not a place that would interest you.

I went to the East Bay Kennel to check it out.

The young lady at the desk was friendly, but was not knowledgeable to answer our questions.

I walked thru with the caretaker to the outside run. There was a young dog that was being pushed and humped by two aggressive dogs.

This was being done over and over again in full view of the caretaker, who did nothing. She did mention to us that the stones in the run cause the dogs to have sore pads after running on them.

There was no supervision out there until we went out. There also seemed to be too many dogs (about 18 to 20) medium to large in the pen together being overly aggressive to one another.

It would break my heart to leave my dog here. Just as it broke my heart to see that young dog being harassed.

Me and my extended family have been taking our dogs here for years. They treat our animals as if they were their own. I know my dog thoroughly enjoys going to daycare here.

We use East Bay Kennels for doggie day care and also for boarding when we go on vacation. We can't recommend the Correia family enough, all the staff treat the dogs like family. They really love all the animals. Our dog is always happy to go in to see her friends. The prices are reasonable. They get booked up over holidays and school vacations so be sure to check before you go. Many thanks to all the staff at East Bay Kennels for keeping our girl happy and healthy!

I am took my dogs here for 7.5 years. Karl, Jeremy, Korinne and the rest of the staff are great. They are the nicest and most caring people ever and truly feel as though they were family to my dogs. It was more than just a place to leave you dog for the day. They make an effort to get to know you and your dogs and genuinely care for their well being. We recently moved out of town and cannot find a daycare that can compare. We miss them so much!

My dog can't wait to go to daycare at East Bay Kennels. The staff loves Mickey like his one of their own and take great care of him.
