I have boarded my dogs at Pine Brook Kennels for both short and relatively long (during my hospitalization) stays. I like the fact that there is an owner on the premises, that dogs have human contact every day, unlike other local facilities that utilize guillotine doors to move a dog from one side to the other in order to clean one side of a run and to avoid having to handle a dog. I know that my dogs will receive individual attention and that any problems will be promptly noticed and given proper attention, including veterinary care if needed. Years ago Pine Brook's owner spotted early signs of an immune-mediated hemolytic anemia in one of my dogs, called me immediately and transported him to my veterinarian. Quick action by Pine Brook most likely saved his life. I firmly believe that had he been in the care of less knowledgeable people this much loved dog would not have received the immediate and life saving treatment he needed. Ms. H.
