I've used Brandywine kennels several times over the years and have always been well satisfied with the care given to my dogs. Due to the change of staff last year &the fact Brandy had reached the age of 15 and was going deaf I was apprehensive at having to leave her there for over 2 weeks while on vacation. I spoke to Sandy who assured me they would make every effort to keep her as comfortable as possible. My dog not a big eater needs coaxing to eat her food at home so that was another concern. I called often while away and Courney or Michelle were always willing to give me an update on her progress. After a couple of days she had settled down and the girls had managed to get her to eat. She was given regular exercise and seemed well and contented when I went to pick her up, Courtney had done a nice job on bathing her that morning,her coat looked great. I think Brandy had enjoyed being around other dogs and interracting with the staff. I definitely would n't hesitate to board her again
