Animal Boarding Kennels, Animal Grooming,

About us

Cottonwood Kennels is located on a small farm, which is home to several very friendly farmyard animals. There are ducks, chickens, peacocks and sheep. There's Willie Nelson, the big boy of the sheep, and Gus and Woodrow, the 'Texas Rangers', our youngest sheep. We also have Nicholas the handsome alpaca and Elvis the pompous peacock. See more barnyard pictures. We are all about the pet-to-person connection. We believe that cats and especially dogs desire to be with people more than anything else. That's why they gave up the wild thousands of years ago to be by our side. You will not find gimmicky substitutes for human interaction here. You will find a very large staff of big-hearted, dedicated, hard-working people. Pet eating, drinking, potty habits, disposition and attitude are carefully monitored, recorded and reviewed several times a day. While you're away, you can call our toll free number (1.800.866.1406) and we'll be happy to give you a total progress report. We provide everything – quality diets, beds, playthings and especially tons of tender loving care. Pets with special needs are our specialty and we welcome them. If your pet eats a special diet or is taking medications or vitamins, bring them along and we'll be happy to administer them according to your specific instructions.

Considering the health issue they found with our puppy, they were right on top of things and went above and beyond what could have been a nasty issue. They not only gave wonderful care to our puppy, but they kept in touch with us by phone and also with the vet. We felt she was in great hands while we were gone.
Since then we brought her in for day care once a week and another longer stay (10 days). All went very well.
The only reason I gave them a B in professionalism was because a few times when we would come to pick her up from day care they had so many clients coming that the workers didn't seem to know what was going on.

The price for the service depends on the size of our dogs and how long they stay. They are very professional and very caring and clean quality. My pet boarded there for a few days.

These guys are great.  I have a very playful dog and a rather fragile dog.  They each get their needs met.  The staff has always been very friendly, professional and caring about my dogs' needs.  The staff goes above and beyond the basics to attend to any special client requests.  They give my fragile dog pasture walks, as well as integrating her into playcare with the other dogs when possible.  At the end of the day I get "report cards" for the dogs which is an extra perk.
I also boarded my cat here for a week (first time my cat had ever been to boarding).  They were great about the care.  The only (small) downside was that they didn't call me when a potential issue arose, but they were handling the situation very well, so there was no problem -- when I called, they were very upfront about the possible issue and what they were doing to prevent it from becoming an actual issue.
I would board and daycare my cats and dogs here any time.
Although I have to drive an extra 30 minutes each way to drop my dogs at this daycare facility, it is worth it in terms of price and quality of service.

They have indoor and outdoor playgroups.  They're available and pretty friendly.  It's worth giving them a shot.

My dogs love going there--the staff is kind and caring and they provide individual attention to the dogs as well as play groups with other dogs. I feel completely comfortable leaving the dogs there.

This company is very flexible and the doggy day care here is very good. They have one on one play time and treat the animals very well here. I like that they are very organized and pay close attention to the temperament of the animal and group them according that.

Great! Our dog is 13 years old and needs special attention; sometimes the services of a vet, and always to have his medications administered. These folks love animals and do an excellent job.

Our experience with this kennel has been fantastic! The dog is well-cared for and comes home looking very healthy and happy. Our dog pulls hard at the leash each time he is taken to this kennel because he is so excited to get there and play with his canine friends.

I was happy with the results. The dog looked good, but was happy to go home. I was pleased with the work and friendliness of workers and will continue to go back.

Always good care. They are always happy to see him. They keep good records of his behavior and any concerns. They give a discount if you bring your own food and also a discount when you use the facility a certain number of times.

This is probably the nicest boarding kennel we have ever used for our dogs. You need to plan early and make reservations because the kennels fill up over the holidays. It's worth the extra effort. The staff truly love their guests and take them out to play every day.

Our dog loves to go to Cottonwood. The staff makes such a fuss over her. The facility is clean, and the pets are well cared for. The only disadvantage is that they are booked well in advance for major holidays and summer weekends.

THE KENNELS PROVIDE ROOMY PENS FOR EACH OF THE DOGS, ALTHOUGH WE CHOOSE TO BOARD OURS TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE SIBLINGS. THE KENNEL ALSO HAS LOTS OF OPEN SPACE FOR THE DOGS TO RUN. IN ADDITION, THEY OFFER PLAY GROUPS WHILE THE DOGS ARE IN RESIDENCE. IT'S A POPULAR PLACE, SO YOU HAVE TO BOOK PRETTY FAR IN ADVANCE - ESPECIALLY FOR SUMMER VACATIONS AND HOLIDAY WEEKS.

MY DOG IS A SIBERIAN HUSKY AND WE HAVE TRIED FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT KENNELS IN THIS AREA. THEY ARE BY FAR THE BEST KENNEL I HAVE EVER USED. BEING A LARGE DOG, HE NEEDS ROOM TO PLAY AND RUN AND COTTONWOOD KENNELS CERTAINLY PROVIDES HIM WITH THAT. THE STAFF IS EXCELLENT AND WHEN WE PICK HIM UP HE IS ALWAYS HAPPY. WHEN WE WOULD PICK HIM UP FROM OTHER KENNELS, HE WOULD BE MAD AT US FOR A FEW DAYS. IN ADDITION, THEY WRITE UP HOW YOUR DOG'S (OR CAT'S) DAY WAS EVERY DAY. THE LOCATION IS PERFECT FOR ANIMALS!
