Smith Ranch Kennels

"I dropped off my Beagle for a 4 day stay with the Smith family. When booking my reservation, Mark and Linda ensured I had all the proper instructions on what to bring for my pup for her stay. Their boarding facility was great and my pup had a lot of room to run in her kennel and the owners made sure to ask questions upon her arrival to ensure they knew her feeding schedule and any other possible information. I asked for daily updates on her and got a reply within an hour of each email or phone call. I want to thank Mark and Linda for showing Oaklee unconditional love and administering her vitamins as needed daily. I will be back again soon to Smith Ranch Kennels!!"

"This place is infested with Ticks. I found A lot on both of my dogs that stayed here. They are treated with a pill and topical to prevent ticks, but still some how got them. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt after seeing all the other reviews and thought my dogs wouldn’t get anything since they are treated, but I was wrong. Just be aware and I suggest if anyone wants to leave their dog here please think twice. Especially if they are your babies! Look into everything before you board your dogs and don’t make the same mistake I did."

"I left my dogs there for a week. They came back infested with ticks. I pulled at least 50 off my two dogs, and I had to take them to the vet for a tick dip. My dogs had tick treatment on them when i took them to the kennel but they were still completely infested. My vet knew immediately where I had taken them and said that she's seen this happen to other dogs who had stayed there and that I should be watching them for tick--borne disease. My vet has seen other dogs that stayed at Smith ranch develop tick--borne illnesses. I'm so sad they stayed there for a week, and the owner never told me they were covered with ticks, and she clearly didn't give them a tick bath. I will never take my dogs there again. They're also wheezing a lot so I'm concerned they may have caught somethingelse too while at the Smith ranch kennels."

"Ignore the bad review..this place is great. I left my four dogs in their care. My dogs got to be together. They went into a play yard. They were fed the food I brought for them. 3 small dogs, one large. They enjoyed their stay. Reasonable price. Great price for multiple dogs. Owners live on the property. They have access to vet care if need. Should be able to give them six stars. They do alot to rescue needy dogs. I am so impressed by them."

"Do not leave your precious pets at this place. This kennel has seen better days. My dog spent two nights there and came back with ticks and smelling like piss. His favorite bed also came back wet and stinky. I stopped by the Tractor Supply store to give him a much needed bath. There is a for sale sign at the kennel's entrance and the place has an "I don't give a damn" vibe. Better options out there."
