Buckeye Kennels

2017: My dog was well treated and did not exhibit any negative reactions to the kennel. I rated the kennel a 4 rather than 5 on Quality because: the small dogs are in stacked cages not floor-level pens, and the exercise "yard" is quite limited for my 22 pound Min Schnauzer who loves to stretch her legs and race around in a large space when possible. This kennel's yard is probably adequate for small, less active dogs. I rated a 4 rather than 5 on price because: even though I brought her food and treats and she stayed almost 2 weeks (no checking in and out), there was no discount on the daily price. I gave an Overall 5 because of the owners' identify with and ability to control yet compassionate approach to their charges which made for a relaxed and welcoming environment. 2018: the groomer did a nice job on my Min Schnauzer's grooming -- not appropriate for a show dog, but my dog isn't a show dog.

The people here are GREAT!!! I will be telling all my pet lovers about them. The staff was very attentive to our dogs needs and it was very well priced. I did not worry about leaving our dog because he was happy and in great care.

Great. Very professional as well as loved by my dog. Go out of their way to be helpful. I have used them for 8 - 9 years.

They are wonderful. I've used them for 5 or more years. I've worked with Marie. She is very conscientious and helpful. She does a great job with the grooming and she loves animals.

excellent. I would highly recommend.

They did great. I have used them 2 or 3 times already.

We have been using Buckeye Kennels exclusively for many years. Our Aussie has has spent as few as 3 nights and as many as 22 nights during a stay. It's always emotionally difficult to drop off and leave our Aussie but we know we are leaving him in very caring and capable hands.

We have our 6 pound white poodle cut and groomed every 8 weeks at Buckeye. We are a return customer because the facilities are clean, the employees are courteous and talented,the finished product is always perfect and the price is very reasonable.
When we moved here about two years ago, our dog went through a difficult introduction to our new neighborhood. In the first two weeks, while out for a walk, he was attacked three times by neighbors' dogs.
As a result, when we took him to Buckeye Kennels for his first grooming, he was aggressive toward the employees. Rather than call us to retrieve our angry dog, the kennel owner, Marie Steele, took charge of our dog and got him through the cutting and grooming.
When we picked him up, Marie shared with us the problem they had. Rather than telling us not to come back, she encouraged us to bring him back there for his next grooming. She promised only she would handle him until he started trusting again.
You just can't get better and more loving care for your dog than we have received at Buckeye Kennels.

One dog had a hotspot near the base of her tail - the staff took care of it and it is now nearly healed.

The owner is Marie Steele. They are fabulous with our dog. Our vet recommend them. They charge $25 for grooming and $5 for nail trimming. They are very caring and each dog is an individual. Our dog has separation anxiety. They will calm him down when we are getting ready to go. I will continue to use them.

Buckeye Kennels took care of our 7 year old female weimeraner and our 1 1/2 year old male standard poodle. The facility was very nice, and very clean! I was not overcome with that kennel smell that so many places have! We have not had Victor, our poodle, neutered, and unlike several other places they accepted him happily. I requested that our dogs be placed together in one kennel, but specified that they needed to be feed separately. Not a problem. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional. I will certainly take my dogs back to Buckeye Kennels the next time the need arises. The rates were reasonable as well.

This was the first time the dogs were away from us in a strange place. Both dogs were rescues who had spent time in county shelters before we adopted them, so we asked that they be allowed outside with other small dogs as much as possible. One of our dogs loves to run and has dug under fences, so we were concerned about his safety and the need for supervision outside. We found Buckeye personnel to be sensitive to our concerns and the needs of our dogs, who did very well that day. We will be returning to Buckeye Kennels -- and their very engaging, friendly staff -- including for overnight stays as needed.

Very friendly interacting with the dogs .
They were quite busy but capable

My dog did real well there. I will always board with them as they do care well for the animals.

Although we like to travel with our pug when possible, we are 100% comfortable leaving her in the care of Marie, Patty and staff at Buckeye. We have used the facility several times over the past 5 years. She boards in the indoor "small dog room" which is perfect for her as she needs climate control for her allergies and because she is a braceocephalic breed, so her outside time needs to be monitored carefully. She is also deaf and on medications. But, even with these issues, I am always confident that all of her needs are well served at Buckeye. And, of course, the proof is in the pug! Faccia Bella loves hanging out with the other small dogs and she is quite content and well cared for when we pick her up. It's her own little vacation destination.

The overall experience was very positive for both us and our dog. She has a sensitive stomach (so we provide her food), and she came through the week without any stomach problems.

They do a really good job. I feel very comfortable taking my dog there.
