American Boarding Kennel Association
As a member of the ABKA, we adhere to the ABKA operating procedures to insure that our facility provides a safe, friendly environment for our guests. Since joining the ABKA, we have made many improvements and procedural changes to ensure that we are up to ABKA standards. We will continue to make improvements and upgrades as we work towards our Voluntary Facility Accreditation.

The ABKA requires participation in boarding kennels to demonstrate their adherence to a comprehensive set of operational standards. These standards include over 200 detailed requirements for boarding kennels and were developed over many years by the ABKA, the international trade association for the owners and operators of commercial boarding kennels. The standards reflect the views of kennel operators, veterinarians, pet owners, and humane organizations and thus represent the "state of the art" in animal care and management.

Boarding kennels accredited by the ABKA must submit detailed information about their animal care procedures and business policies and submit to an on-site inspection. This program offers pet owners the assurance that Accredited facilities have earned the ABKA "stamp of approval" by successfully completing this comprehensive program.
