We are accredited by the ABKA, which requires participating
boarding kennels to demonstrate their adherence to a comprehensive set of operational
standards. These standards include over 200 detailed requirements for boarding kennels
and were developed over many years by the ABKA, the international trade association for
the owners and operators of commercial boarding kennels. The standards reflect the views
of kennel operators, veterinarians, pet owners, and humane organizations and thus represent
the "state of the art" in animal care and management.
Boarding kennels accredited by the
ABKA must submit detailed information about their animal care
procedures and business policies and submit to an on-site inspection. This program offers pet owners the assurance that Accredited facilities have earned the ABKA
"stamp of approval" by successfully completing this comprehensive program.
