Thank you everybody for your votes! It has only been a little over a full year in the facility so it feels pretty unreal to win #1 in 2 categories. I appreciate your business and support!! My sister Danielle Lambert also deserves a shout out for helping keep the kennel clean.

Over the past year, I’ve been working hard to refine how Craig’s Canines operates—listening to feedback, learning what works best, and making changes to keep things running smoothly for everyone.

I’m excited to share that the updates to my website are now finalized! You’ll now find the updated cancellation policy, late add-on fees, and clear pricing for drop-offs and pick-ups outside of regular hours—all in one easy-to-access place.

These changes are meant to keep things fair, organized, and transparent, ensuring the best experience for both you and your pets.

Thank you for your patience as I worked through these updates, and for your continued trust in Craig’s Canines. I’m so grateful for this community and look forward to serving you in the year ahead!

This summer has been insane in the absolute best way possible!! So many new faces, so many familiar faces, very few days with any empty kennels and a good amount of days with boarding overflow. We made it through the hot, muggy months of summer.. now bring on some cooler days, and before too long it will be fall!

July marks one year in the facility, as I officially opened the kennel on July 11, 2024. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of new and familiar faces—both dog and human alike. To say I’ve been blessed is an understatement. The support from my family, friends, and this amazing community has been incredible.

Over the past year, I’ve learned so much about how I want to run things. As the business continues to grow, I’ve realized I won’t be able to remain as flexible as I have been. In the coming days, I’ll be introducing a cancellation policy and outlining pricing for drop-offs and pick-ups outside of the regular facility hours.

Thank you all for the continued support! I truly couldn’t do this without you!

It has been a very busy summer so far! I never imagined that the kennel would be full multiple times before even making it to 1 full year in the new building. Thank you all so much for your continued support!!

It’s been a very action packed but busy summer so far! Thanks again to Haley for covering during my weekend trip and taking some awesome pictures! Make sure to book if you know you need me. Summer dates are filling up quick!

I will be out of town this weekend for a couple of days and will be leaving the kennel in the very capable hands of Taylor Couch and Haley Hernandez. You have already met or heard about Taylor so let me tell you about Haley!

Haley has been an Emergency Veterinary Technician for 4.5 years and has been in VetMed for 9 years. Haley also ran her own boarding/training business when she lived in Texas. Additionally, she was Shift Lead at Camp Bow Wow which is "a leading pet care franchise that offers doggy daycare and boarding services, with a mission of making dogs happy."

She will be in cherge of scheduling. If you would need to contact her, texting will work the best. If you need to call her, please leave a voicemail if she would be busy doing something else and not answer.

Haley’s number: (630) 373-1466

I can’t believe it has already been a month since I last posted! The German Shepherd litter of puppies has been keeping me busy in addition to caring for all of your sweet, fluffy (with the exception of one being a naked cat) family members.

All of the Spring Break doggies went home on Monday and boy oh boy, was it an awesome but very busy two weeks!! We just had a personal record number of boarders and house visits! Thank you again for all of the continued support and patience. Also, a huge thank you to Taylor Couch for helping make sure things ran smoothly. You’ll likely see more of her in the future!

It’s just a dog’s world and I’m living in it! Tons of new faces lately and it has just been a blast.

I would like to introduce you to my good friend, Taylor Couch. She will be working at the kennel during Spring Break and you may even see her instead of me. She will be at the kennel to ensure that dogs are let out on their regular schedule as I keep up with house visits in the Bluffton area. I will still be the main person caring for your dogs at the kennel throughout the week! I completely trust Taylor to help me run my kennel with the same care and attention that I would give your dogs. Taylor has 4 years of experience as a Kennel Attendant and Dog Trainer at K9 Comfort Kennels located in Michigantown, IN. Additionally, she graduated from Purdue University with her Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Nursing and is a Registered Veterinary Technician.
