I have been a client of Stargate Kennels for over 15 years. When I first kenneled there I was having to travel every week for over a year. The care that our dog got was exceptional and the dog LOVED going there because of Jan (the owner) and all the others working there. In all that time the dog never had one flea. She keeps the place spotless. We do not have children so our dogs (we have 2 now) are our ""kids"" and mean the absolute world to us and I can not express what comfort it has given us over the years to know that our dogs are so well taken care of when we had to travel. Our oldest dog died last year at 14 years old and Jan and the others were so sad about it, so I am really,really confused how anyone can say she doesn't care about the animals. All our dogs have also done training there and people always comment what well behaved dogs we have and I tell them it came from the training that they received from Jan at Stargate when they were puppies. I know that Jan has a gruf voice and maybe people take that as being rude but nothing is further from the trurth. She is strict about how people control their dogs when they are checking in because she does not want to have dogs getting in fights. One of our dogs does not like other dogs so I appreciate Jan making sure that people don't let there dogs just run around. The place is busy and she does get rushed when there are 11 people waiting around to pick up their dogs and maybe some people are thinking that she is rude when she is just trying her best to get everyone taken care of. This women is the biggest champion of dogs (really any animals) that I know. I know that in the past people have dropped off dogs to be boarded and have never picked them up and Jan has either adopted them or found them homes. This women really cares.
Pros: Really cares for the animals
