Our large kennel building houses 15 dogs.

The gas radiant heating system operates year round on a thermostat. Ceiling fans keep it cool in summer.
We have a washer, a dryer, a fridge and freezer and music center.

Each dog is assigned a 4’by 12’ run inside the building.
Ours is not an indoor-outdoor set-up.

We take the dogs out in the morning to their individual outdoor venue which is a 12’ by 12’ gravel pen with a roof. Each dog gets its own indoor and outdoor venues.

At the front of the main building there are 8 large backyard-size exercise yards (chain link fenced on grass) where dogs are let off leash to play individually. Our largest yard is 30’ by 100’. We do not put dogs together as a rule.

There are many paths and trails on the ranch property for safe walks on an extenda-lead.

All dogs are exercised based on their age and ability.

Throughout the day, depending on the dog’s breed, age and exercise needs, he/she will visit all of the venues.

During the day, if it rains, becomes cold or too hot, the dogs are returned to the building.

All dogs are put up in the building at night.

More than two dogs:
Rates by private treaty based on the number and sizes of the dogs.

Multiples must be owned by the same owner and reside together to qualify for a special rate.

Grooming Requirements

Please do not bring matted dogs to kennel. Coats must be easily washed or brushed out to remove dust or mud from the daily outings.

Make sure there is no hair around the anal area that can trap fecal material.
Nails should be clipped and ears checked. The ear canal should be free of hair and clean.

Board is charged on the arrival day.

If the dog is picked up before 12:00 noon on the pick-up day, there is no charge for that day.

After 12:00 noon, the daily charge will apply.

Ravendale will accept Visa, Mastercard and Debit cards for deposits and/or balances due.

Cash payments are preferred. Regular clients may pay by cheque. Credit card payment of the deposit must be made at the time of booking.
A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total cost is required at the booking.

Drop-off Etiquette

We know that some of you are emotional about leaving your dog, but tearful, drawn out drop-off behavior is not good for your dog. Neither your dog nor the kennel likes negative energy.

If you trust us, you should be fine. If you do not, then you should have used another kennel.

Please decide if you want to use a pet sitter, a neighbor, a family member or a kennel before you call us.
Your 50%deposit is non-refundable.

Take your trip and enjoy it.
