Absolute Kennels - Kamloops, British Columbia

Darlene S.

I volunteer with ElderDog Canada Kamloops PAWD as one of our Rehoming Coordinators and we have boarded a dog here since we were unable to find a foster home during the holidays.
Absolute Kennels stepped up and has been fantastic with the dog we entrusted to them while we sought a new home for him!
They sent photos almost everyday so I knew he was having fun playing and getting attention. When I visited him a couple of times over the last few weeks he was calm, playful and content. I know he will be missed now that he's going to his new family but I would ask Absolute Kennels for boarding anytime!

Got in touch with Maureen about our dog staying with her while we left town for a wedding. Communication was good, website clear, and she gave me a tour of the facility before I dropped my dog off.

There's a big field (fenced) for dogs to run and play in, with a pool and shade and many toys. There are some smaller outdoor runs as well. Inside, there is a large, air conditioned room that is partitioned into individual stalls.

We were a little nervous about boarding our dog because a) he's our baby and b) he's a dog-reactive GSD. Because of his social issues, we asked that he be kept separate from other dogs.

When I came to drop off our dog, I was met by Lisa, one of the employees. She was great and immediately put me at ease, as she has experience with reactive dogs, and immediately interacted well with him. Throughout his stay, Lisa kept us updated with photos and comments that reassured us that all was well.

We picked up our dog tired and happy. He hadn't lost weight, wasn't frantic to leave, and hadn't been a nuisance to his caretakers or other dogs.

Overall, we would highly recommend Absolute Kennels to anyone in the Kamloops area looking to board their dog. They are accommodating with temperaments and other individual needs.

Thanks to Maureen and Lisa and we'll definitely be back next time!

We took our pup for a week while we were away and we really appreciated multiple updates with photos of Luna playing and having a great time. Thank you for taking great care of our fur baby

The crew at Absolute Kennels is amazing. Between our family, we have 4 large breed dogs, and they normally stay together, which was accommodated at Absolute. A few of meds, 1 has high fear/anxiety, and we came home to 4 happy, healthy, and well cared for dogs at an extremely reasonable rate. Plus, there was absolutely NO KENNEL smell on any of them or their beds.

Cannot thank them enough for caring for our fur babies!

Great people who love animals. Our dog is happy when we drop him off here. Very organized and clean. Good staff, nothing negative to say. I suggest using this kennel for your furry family members.

Our dog is 120 lbs large. They have no issues with size.

We just picked up our Chihuahua after boarding her for 8 days. We have nothing but the best to say about how she was handled. Our instructions on how to look after her were followed and her stay went very well.
Pictures were texted to us part way through the stay which showed us how well she was doing...We are very happy and recommend this k
Kennel!

We were a little nervous about using a kennel for our 5 yr old Frenchie and 11 yr old Bugg. They had never been to a kennel and haven't been in contact with other dogs as they are not too friendly. We were put at ease with Lisa explaining that she would have them separated and kept safe. She sent us photos of rhem playing and outside. We are extremely happy with the service, care and love they gave our pups. Our dogs came home tired but happy and actually somehow better behaved. Lol. We all look forward to our next visit soon. Thank you so much Lisa and staff at Absolute Kennels. 💯

We have taken our dog to Maureen and her team many times. We always feel comfortable knowing that our dog is having fun and being well taken care of. Maureen's knowledge of dog behaviours has been very valuable and she doesn't hesitate to share suggestions to assist us. Frankie loves going to see Maureen!
