Cage-Free Daycare

We provide a true home-like setting designed for dogs, with the added bonus of 24-hour supervision.

IMPORTANT NOTICE – BEFORE BOARDING AND DAYCARE
Your dog must pass a 4 hour evaluation before boarding and daycare. (Some dogs might require more than one evaluation.) This is a trial to see if your dog is comfortable in the cage-free environment.

House of Hounds offers the Kanawha Valley dog owners the best in dog daycare, cage-free dog boarding, and complete dog grooming services. We go beyond the traditional dog kennel. We offer a large facility, a structured environment, and a well trained staff. Our play areas are clean, safe, and the dogs are well cared for and professionally supervised. Our overnight guests enjoy a 24 hour supervised cage-free environment. No Kennels here! Our primary focus is to give you peace of mind and your dog a fun, safe place to play and make new friends! House of Hounds is your dogs home away from home! Every dog attending House of Hounds daycare and boarding is screened first for compatibility. The center’s design allows the dogs to run and stretch their muscles while they play chase, wrestle with one another, and have endless fun. After a hard day’s play, they can take a nap on one of our many leather sofas or beds. The main playroom and dog park is for the most active dogs while the TV lounge is reserved for our small doggie guests as well as dogs preferring a more mellow environment.

ALL DOGS MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING VACCINATIONS IN PLACE AT LEAST 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THEIR VISIT WITH US

  • Bordetella – We require 6 month Bordetella updates for all grooming, daycare, and boarding dogs. Some vets do not routinely administer this vaccine, while others only give it on a yearly basis, so be sure to speak with your vet’s office to make sure your dog is vaccinated. Please keep in mind, the bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine is not 100% effective. The kennel cough vaccine is comparative to the flu vaccine for humans with about 60% effectiveness.
  • DHPP – within the last year or three years depending on your dogs age.
  • Rabies – Within the last year or three years depending on your dogs age.
  • Heartworm & Flea preventative– You can bring an invoice from either your veterinarian office or receipts from where it was purchased.
  • Exceptions for the vaccination requirements can be made. For example, if your baby has an underlying illness which could be aggravated by vaccines, we would just need to speak with your vet. Please contact us regarding any concerns you may have about our vaccine policy.
  • Canine Influenzas Vaccine (dog flu)
