Kennel Facilities Our Canine accommodations are large indoor/outdoor style suites with private inside enclosures connected to full-sized 16-foot long outdoor enclosures. The outdoor terraces are very spacious and completely covered to allow your pet to exercise in all types of weather. The inside enclosures are heated in the winter, air conditioned in the hot summer months, and exhaust systems and paddle fans are used for proper ventilation and air exchange. In addition, each dog is provided with raised platform kennel decking along with lambswool bedding for their further comfort. Soothing piped-in music plays 24 hours a day for the relaxation of your pet.
Two views of the inside kennel area Each canine guest gets a spacious 4 x 5 ft or 6 x 5 ft inside enclosure. The inside enclosures are all separated by a 6 foot solid cement wall to give each guest total privacy while inside. On top of the cement floor, each dog has a raised platform called kennel decking to keep them up off of the hard cement floor. It also provides a high and dry platform should the dog have a urinary accident or just happen to kick over it's water bowl etc. In addition, lambs wool bedding is provided. With a few exceptions, the dogs can go in or out as they please. The inside kennel area has large power exhausts at each end of the kennel along with paddle fans overhead to constantly move and exchange the air. Piped in music plays throughout the kennel. In addition, we have forced air and radient in-floor heating for the winter months and air conditioning for the hot summer months. However, the most important ingredient to keeping our canine guests happy and healthy is human contact, and we ensure that all of our guests get lots of loving attention.
Views of the outside portion of the canine facilities Each canine guest gets a full 16 foot long outside run which then connects to their private inside area. The outside runs are fully covered. In fact, the overhang extends another 5 1/2 feet out beyond the runs. This keeps their outside runs nice and dry even if it has been raining all day. It also protects the dogs from the hot sun during the summer. Each run is separated with 3 to 4 feet of a solid cement wall for sanitation purposes at the lower level. Then we extend a heavy gauge chain link fence from the top of the cement wall clear up to the ceiling. Instead of staring out at a large wall or privacy fence, the guests at Winding Creek look out over 36 acres of countryside. From their outside runs they can see horses and cattle grazing in the pasture, along with our pet, Jasmine the Donkey, who regularly patrols our fence line. Three different views of our Nature Walk Trail which goes around our 36 acre facility.
