Windmill Lane Boarding Kennel Posted on by

One of the hardest task that is needed with Windmill Lane Boarding is to inform a client that we cannot board their dog on a requested date.

As our reputation and public awareness has grown, we have expanded to meet the needs of you, our clients, but at times we are now reaching capacity.

To avoid disappointment, you may want to reserve you pet’s spot as soon as your travel plans are firm.

Dogs & Fireworks in Iowa

Windmill Lane Boarding Kennel Posted on by

Is your dog stressed by fireworks or thunder?

The use of fireworks in Iowa will undoubtedly increase  during Independence Day and New Year’s Day  and the lead up period (Fireworks sales are now legal in Iowa June 1 through July 8 and from Dec. 10 through Jan. 3)

Since this is also a busy time at boarding kennels, making a reservation for you pet should be a consideration. There are currently a couple of openings still available at Windmill Lane Boarding Kennel.

❝If your dog is already scared of storms and/or fireworks there are things you can do to help. First, if you are going to be using fireworks or you have neighbors who do so, please take your dog to a kennel for boarding. Next-door fireworks are just too close for a scared dog to endure.❞
