Double T Kennels

LOVE. The staff is amazing and I love how the runs and yard are set up. I also appreciated that they labeled all of our dogs food so they knew who’s it was, how much and when he was to be fed. The «U» shape that they have the runs set up in are great, so the dogs can all see what’s going on.
Also, the discount for rescue dogs is great! We will definitely be boarding our pup here again should we go out of town.

I absolutely LOVE Double T Kennels! It’s a family owned business that specializes in malamutes, but all breeds are welcome to board here.
We first contacted them when we were looking to add a third furbaby to our pack a year before we used their boarding services. While we didn’t adopt from them, they were very helpful when it came to making a final decision. Tina is a nutrition buff and was very helpful with how to get one of our dogs to a healthy weight.
We boarded our three furbabies (a 9 year old female husky, a 3 year old male husky/​mal mix, and a 1 year old «Alaskan husky») when we went on a week long family vacation. Tom was a pleasure to work with. He answered all of our questions without a hitch. He provided updates as necessary, and even posted pictures of them on their Facebook page so we could see how they were doing, and they were so happy! They give discounts for multiple dogs & rescued dogs. They feed the dogs they board Taste of the Wild, which our dogs love! Each dog/​family of dogs has their own kennel, and they give them separate play time, so you don’t have to worry about if the temperament of your dogs matches the temperament of another.
If we ever go on another family vacation we will happily drive out of the way to board our dogs here.

Tina and Tom are amazing. We were originally calling to find a new home for our Malamute mix, when we came up with the idea to fence off our backyard to keep our pup. We decided to board him at Double T and they were more than happy to board him. Their knowledge is impressive, their professionalism is outstanding, their facility is immaculate and we know that our Xero was being well taken care of. Xero was there for 3 weeks, and he is happy to be home. I wouldn’t recommend any other kennel than Double T. Worth the 20 min. drive out, and worth every single penny spent. Thank you Double T!

Compassionate and professional — we felt like our puppy was in good hands when we boarded her for a week. We also appreciated the rescue-​dog discount.

We have used Double T Kennels for more than 10 years. I have never had a bad experience there. My dogs always come home smelling fresh & looking good!!! I know when I have to leave my dogs anywhere, there is no finer kennel than Tom & Tina’s Double T. I will only leave my dogs here when I need to be away from home. Thanks for many years of taking care of my babies. :)

I’ve left our Doberman here a few times and we wouldn’t board her anywhere else! Great place, great facility, great people! I like that she can see and smell the other dogs and isn’t confined to a private place. They play with the dogs every day and make sure all are healthy before they check in.
My Scarlett has some separation anxiety and refuses to sleep alone. Double T accommodates her and allow her sleep with their own pups to ease her anxiety. I highly recommend them.
They offer a discount for rescue pups too!

Just picked up my dog from an emergency 3 week stay at the Double T. This place is a great place to keep your dog if its just for a few days, or even if you wind up in a bind and need to keep your dog safe and out of the way for a few weeks (remolding, moving, etc.) Tom was fantastic, very calm and gave us a lot of good advice with working with our dog. The facility looked very clean, the play yard was immaculate and my dog was given to us looking healthier and smelling better than we’re use to. We got a fantastic deal, and it was worth every dollar. Thanks Double T for taking great care of our dog Jackson!

We were very hesitant about leaving our dog in a kennel given how the one and only time he was in one, he came back starving and nervous. While he was still not happy being left in a kennel as opposed to the comforts of his home, he still left there with his tail wagging and running up to the employee who worked there and the owner, Tom, to give them a lick goodbye. We took that as a very positive sign that he was treated well there. Tom knows dogs and how to care for them. You can tell he truly cares about the well-​being of dogs. We would definitely leave him there again when the need arises.

The most professional place I’ve been to and the owners are true dog lovers. My boyfriend and I brought our two ‘children’, to Double T before we headed off to Vegas for work. We had never boarded our dogs with them before and I was a little nervous (despite the positive Unilocal reviews). Tom, the owner, sat us down and instantly our minds were at ease. He knows a ton about dogs and vaccinations and the best foods to feed your pet. When we returned, one of our pups had hurt his foot… and to our surprise… Tom made sure that he was taken to the vet and cared for.
It is clear from all the wonderful care they provide to the animals staying at their establishment… that they really are NOT in it for the money, like so many other kennels are. They are in it for your pet FIRST. They made that quite evident. We’ll definitely be back.

First time I had to leave my 1 yr old dog. Met with Tom and Tina ahead of time and they are great people. They took the time and care to make the week away from home for Colton a good week. They spend over an hour working with him the first day when he was scared and unhappy until he was content and comfy. All inclusive with food, treats, blankets and even sweaters for chilly days and nights. (Colton is a Cheagle and has no under coat.)
Highly recommend and will be using them the next time.

My dogs have been going to Double T Kennel for about 7 years now. The owners are wonderful to work with, even when faced with last minute boarding needs. Their kennel is clean and very well run. I really like that the dogs get to play outside of their own kennel every day. Every employee that I have met has a great personality. When I bring my two dogs, they always put them in the larger kennel, which is plenty big enough.
Whenever I leave my dogs here, I feel very comfortable that their needs are being met, and since it is a smaller kennel, the dogs get more personal attention. One cool thing about the place is that they let you drop off the dogs the night before for no extra fee! The prices they charge are very reasonable and they offer many discounts. My dogs are always happy and healthy when I pick them up. I usually book my vacations around when they have availability, that’s how much we value Tom and Tina!

Double T Kennel is a solid choice if you need to board your dog for a weekend. The owners are serious dog breeders, and as dog people, are capable of caring for your dog too. If you are looking for some pet hotel that treats your dog like a person and has web cams so you can check in on your pet; this is not the place for you. However, if you want a kennel that is run by people who understand dogs, and their actual needs, Double T is a good place to go.
We left our dog there for a weekend, and while our dog went ape s – t when we came to pick him up, he also ran up to the kennel operator; evidently they became friends while we were gone. If/​when we need to leave our dog again, Double T is where we’ll go.

I researched the heck out of kennels on the internet anywhere near my area with reasonable prices, but also one with nice facilities.
I was planning my vacation and would be gone for 2 weeks in November. 14 days at a kennel can easily get expensive. Many of the places I looked into charged about $ 40 a day, which was another $ 560 tacked onto an already expensive vacation.
Luckily, I found Double T Kennels. At $ 30 a day, plus a 10% rescue discount (for my mutt, that’s $ 27, $ 378 total, a savings of $ 182), they were the most reasonably priced kennel.
The reasons I picked their kennel, despite it being a long drive from Westwood:
–Smaller kennel, fewer dogs, so hopefully more attention and care.
–It was clean, had a grassy area in the middle. When I visited, it was not smelly.
–The owner is professional, sat down with me and my husband and gave us great information on crate training and on dog food.
–They are Alaskan Malamutes breeders and enter dog shows, so I got the impression they were very knowledgeable and would take good care of my hound.
–They feed their dogs and boarding dogs, a high quality food, Eagle Pack, which I now buy and feed Jack. He LOVES it. Google it. It is so much better than popular brands. Other kennels offered Pedigree at best.
–They don’t charge you for the day if you drop off your dog at 7 PM or pick it up by noon.
The kennels are fairly roomy and clean, set up in a U shape, with a fenced in grassy are in between. I called to check in and they returned my message and let me know Jack was adjusting to the kennel fine. (He barked a lot when I dropped him off, so I was worried.)
When I picked Jack up, they took a moment to clean him up and when I saw him, he smelled fresh and looked happy and healthy. He definitely was fed well. I daresay he may have put on a few pounds there.
When the owner stooped down to pet him, Jack wanted to get close, so I know he was treated nicely.
All in all, for the value, I think Double T is a place you can board your dog with peace of mind.
