Great Bay Kennel 27 Newmarket Road, Durham, NH 03824

"Boarded our 3 dogs and 1 cat for almost a week twice in one month. Everything went as expected. The staff has been polite and courteous, plus gave me good info when I called for status updates. Two thumbs up!"

"We have trusted our dogs with GB kennel in the past years; we don't mind the drive from Manchester, but this last time the experience was awful. We left our dogs for over a week, and only upon bringing them home we noticed that one had developed a very nasty skin infection. There was a lot of pus and skin was literally falling off of him. When we called asking for explanations, the person just said that they noticed the water bowl was being knocked over often, so we suspect the dogs were left sitting in a pool of water, which caused the infection. The dog with the infection spent all the time licking its wound (until we put a cone on him), so it is very hard to believe that no one noticed it. The infection took antibiotics, ointment, steroids and two weeks to heal; considering that the vet is the same compound, we could not believe that no one had the thought of asking his professional opinion, and left us dealing with it after we picked them up; the infection - and the dog's suffering - could have easily been treated by the vet promptly. The total for the stay was $895. After the fact and our calls asking explanations, the vet did offer to visit the dogs free of charge and offered the prescriptions. We were very disappointed with the lack of care on our dogs and the professionalism of the staff entrusted with their care."

"I have been bringing my dog to GBK for a couple of years now for grooming and boarding and I have nothing but positive things to say. I am always welcomed by a smiling front desk worker and usually my dog loves when she sees Tam working. Michelle in grooming has always done a phenomenal job with my doodles haircuts as well. Also, how wonderful is it when you leave your pet and see a picture of them on the Facebook site playing outside with their friends. I would highly recommend Great Bay Kennel to anyone looking for quality care for their pet. Thanks for all you do!!"

"My dog - 2.75 year old yellow lab - loves it here!! He goes to daycare once or twice a week, sometimes three times and has been for about 5 months. The team at the daycare are amazing! He always has a good day and is tired after - can sleep for our whole hour long ride home! The photos they post are awesome and let me know what he's doing and that he's having a great time! I especially love seeing him photographed with another dog he knows - they love to hang out together whether at day care or other places."

"Alison is very good with Charlie. He is an anxious boy when it comes to grooming and having his nails trimmed."
