Bur Rock Boarding Kennel

06/23/2022

In 2001 I fulfilled a dream and following in my mothers footsteps opened my own boarding kennel. For over 20 years you have entrusted me to care for your beloved four legged family members. I have met so many wonderful people and their pets along the way and have made great friends and wonderful memories. However it is time for a new chapter in life and the difficult decision was made to close the kennel doors for good on September 15 2022.
Several people have asked me for a recommendation of another kennel, feel free to message me about that or with any other questions. Thank you again. Arlene

Just a reminder to keep your dogs vaccinations up to date and keep your dog/cat on veterinarian approved flea preventive year round. My #1 reason I have to turn down a pet to board is that the vaccinations are not up to date. Vaccinations must be given atleast 7 days prior to coming to board.

Just wanted to post an update; for many reasons I have decided to only work part time at Hobby Lobby, so I will still be boarding part time. I will only be taking up to about 6 dogs at a time. I will be taking new customers but the dogs must have good leash manners, especially the medium to large dogs. I would be more than happy to meet new people and their dogs to make sure we are a good fit for each other.

I have been meaning to do this post all week but have been too busy and tired.
I have taken a full time position at Hobby Lobby in Rice Lake. I was not particularly looking for full time but this job kept coming up time after time in the past few months and I truly think it was/is God pointing me in a new direction. This is a huge life adjustment as I have only worked at home for nearly 20 years.
So because of that I will be boarding very little, maybe one or two dogs at a time, if any. I will not be taking any new customers at this time.
I have loved meeting and getting to know all the people that have trusted me to care for their 4 legged family members.

❗Hello everyone. Although we have been open during the current events with the Covid-19 and now that the state is opening up, we are still using safety precautions. We are only allowing one customer in the kennel at a time so please be aware if you are picking up or dropping off your pet and another customer is already being helped. Also, we ask that you bring bedding that is freshly washed. So if you are planning on boarding your pet in the future, (holidays, etc.) please call or send a message to our page. Thank you for your business! 🐶🐱

Hello All! It has recently come to my attention that there is talk going around that I have closed and not boarding anymore, not true! After my neck surgery in March I began taking boarders again in May. I still leash walk all dogs several times daily but am limited to dogs that have good leash manners. If you have any questions I would be glad to speak with you or meet you and your dog. Arlene

Many Americans don't realize that popular dog breeds look that way because of unnecessary surgery.

WHAT IS CANINE PARVOVIRUS??

We have seen a disturbing number of parvovirus cases this summer. Here is what you need to know, in order to protect your pet!

Parvovirus is a very contagious disease that can be deadly. It can cause lethargy, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, dehydration and decreased appetite. It can be very expensive to treat but inexpensive to prevent with appropriate vaccination. We have seen vaccination failures (even in adult dogs!) with over the counter vaccinations.

It is very important to make sure your pet is up to date on their vaccinations. New puppies NEED to receive a series of vaccinations in order to develop full immunity to parvovirus. Puppies should receive their vaccinations every 4 weeks until they are between 16 and 20 weeks of age. We recommend that new puppies receive an exam within 72 hours of coming home to their new family so we can discuss an appropriate vaccination schedule with you. We also recommend that you refrain from taking your puppy to any dog parks, puppy classes and pet stores until they receive their full series of vaccinations.

If you have any questions regarding your pet's vaccination status or additional questions about parvovirus, please do not hesitate to contact us!

When it comes to puppies it's important to consider the impact exercise may have on the pup's developing skeletal system.Read more.

Had my 6 week check up today with the surgeon. I can now gradually wear my neck brace less over the next to weeks and then be rid of it. However I still am not supposed to bend or twist for at least 6 more weeks till the next check up.

Update on when the kennel will be opening.
I will be starting to board again at the end of May. Unfortunately due to doctors restrictions no large dogs. I have to start with small dogs and/or dogs that walk well on a leash.Thank you.

Reminder to keep your pets vaccinations up to date, this month alone we have had to turn away 7 dogs. Vaccinations must be given a minimum of 7 days prior to boarding and when an emergency comes up it is usually too late. Also remember to keep your pets on flea control (veterinarian recommended) year round.
