Dog Boarding

 
 

 
     
  About Our Accommodations  
  We are an Illinois State Licensed Boarding Kennel  
  Let us care for your dog at our very quiet, peaceful home in the country.  
  Our kennel is located just off the house, so we can keep an eye on the precious dogs in our care.  
   
  Dogs in our care can be housed based on their needs:  
  Indoor/Outdoor Kennel Runs: Our very spacious, kennel runs are located just off our house for dogs that prefer constant access to the outdoors.  Each kennel has a radiant floor heater.  The outdoor runs have a roof over head, so that even in inclement weather they may lounge outdoors and watch the wildlife or our sheep grazing in a nearby pasture.  Our runs are very spacious, much more so than most commercial kennels can offer.  The indoor housing is five foot wide by four foot deep.  The outdoor runs are five foot wide by twelve foot long, for plenty of exercise and a great place to relax.   
  Indoor Kennel Suites:  Our roomy,  indoor kennel suites adjoin our house.  We can actually monitor them from our living room.  Dogs that are used to staying indoors most of the day and night may feel more comfortable in these accommodations.  Dogs are taken outdoors three times per day to exercise in a very large, grass yard.  
   
  The secure feeling of home:  Dogs that feel most comfortable in the comfort of their crates, or puppies that are in the crate-training phase, can rest at ease in their own crates that we'll locate in the kennel suite.  They will be taken outdoors several times per day for exercise.  
   
  Features:  
  We have security cameras in the kennels and exercise yards so that we can keep an eye on the dogs at all times.  
  Administering required meds is not a problem for us.  
  We'd be happy to play ball or frisbee with your dog in our fenced paddock (additional fee required).  
  We recommend that you bring your dog's food to limit gastric upset during his stay.  
  You may choose to house two of your dogs in the same, very spacious run, but the price is per dog.  
     
Fees (per dog)
 
Boarding (without training) $15 / day    
 
Twenty minute one-on-one play session $2 / day
Bath on day of pick up (boarded dog) $20 and up Fee is size and coat dependant.  
Mandatory Flea / Tick bath for infested dogs $35    
Nail trim (boarded dog) $8    
Food costs if you do not bring your dog's food $1/day    
       
 
  Requirements  
  We require proof of vaccination to Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus and Bordetella (kennel cough)  at the time of drop-off (on Veterinarian Letterhead).  State law prohibits us from accepting your dog without these documents.  
  Please make certain your dog is free of internal and external parasites.   
  Infested dogs will receive a flea/tick bath at the owner's expense.  
  Because we are a small facility and are busy training dogs most of the day, drop off and pick up times are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.   
  For stays over a week:  50% of the fee is due at drop-off and the remainder of the fee is required at pick-up time.  
     
  We do not hold Sunday hours of operation.  However, there are times when a Sunday appointment is requested.  At our sole discretion, we may accept a Sunday drop off appointment to which we will add a $30 premium.  A Sunday pick-up appointment  for Board & Train Clients (for the Owner Education Session) will require an additional $150 Sunday premium.

"BNB" GROOMING

Bath *  Nails * Brush-out

 

 

Bring your dog to DarnFar for our lavish BNB treatment

 
With our BNB service, your dog will receive a luxurious bath using high quality shampoo, a nail trim trim, will be blown dried and given a light brush out.
We will do minor trimming, but we do not currently provide full service grooming for breeds which require heavy clipping or scissoring.
Nail trims, only, are also available.
 
The following conditions apply:
Your dog must arrive in condition to receive a bath followed by a blow-dry and brush.  If your dog is severely matted, this is impossible as bathing a matted dog only exacerbates the condition. 
 
Fees are subject to the groomer's assessment of the dog's condition at drop-off.
Aggressive dogs will be assessed additional fees or may be rejected for grooming all together.
 
To arrange an appointment for your dog, please call:  (618) 427-3333 or (618) 292-9427  or email Tammie
 

Bathing a dog at  the dog wash station, located in the Kennel Suite Dogs receive a deep cleaning bath with quality shampoo
 

Our Indoor / Outdoor Kennels

The outdoor runs are a very spacious five foot wide by twelve foot long.  Dogs have continuous access to their indoor resting area and the outdoor runs.  There is a solid, cement block barrier between both the outdoor and indoor runs to provide privacy and to maintain cleanliness between the runs. 

 
Well behaved "board only" dogs as well as all the Board & Train dogs are allowed to exercise several times each day in the very large, grass paddocks which adjoin the kennel area.
