The good health and well being of the pets in our care is our utmost goal. Currently, we have six full and part time Kennel Technicians whose sole job is to continuously monitor our puppies. There is a staff member in our kennel from two hours before we open until store closing. They spend time cleaning, sanitizing, feeding, grooming and conducting additional tasks. They are also responsible for giving medications, recording weights and charting health.

We are licensed through the PA Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Dog Law and inspected multiple times a year. We are proud to say we have never faced a warning or infraction since opening in July of 1998.

If you would like to see our kennel; talk to a manager and time allowing, we would be glad to give you a quick tour or explain any of our procedures in detail.
