My dog's stay at Kennelwood resulted in INJURY. I recently had my dog boarded at this Kennelwood location for 9 days. On the second morning of our vacation we received a phone call stating that my dog had torn open his paw pad on something sharp inside his kennel and needed to be taken to the vet ASAP for stitches. When I called the vet I was told that the injury was "pretty bad" and that my dog would HAVE to have stitches and be fully anesthetized to do so because of the location. My dog also had to be taken a second time t... read more

Excellent Dog Training! – I have taken both of my dogs to Dave van Garderen at Kennelwood for training starting when they were four months old. I have found Dave to be both professional and caring for my dogs and my training desires for them. Both of my dogs are very large and I wanted them to be trained to be well behaved and to walk with me without pulling me. Not only did Dave train my dogs, and me, how to walk nicely together, he also trained my older dog to compete in Rally Obedience and to become a therapy dog. Therapy... read more

Best dog trainer - Dave van Garderen – We have used Kennelwood for Dog training for many years now and we prove our loyalty by driving almost 100 miles every week to be part of Dave's dog training class! Not only does he help train my sons service dog but he also played a huge role in the rescue and rehab of our Shilo Shepherd Angus. Without Dave's passion for dogs and expertise in training we would have not been able to keep our animals. The transformation of the animals is amazing and we never get tired of seeing how much ... read more

Great dog training!!!!! – After the passing of our senior dog a couple of years ago, my husband & I decided to adopt/rescue another dog. Since we had watched just about every episode of the “Dog Whisper”, it was decided to have the new dog professionally trained. We had used Kennelwood Pet Resorts at Lindbergh & Page for boarding & grooming in the past & it made sense to start there with our training needs. We were referred to Dave van Garderen & we were pleasantly pleased to see his desk was the one filled with trophies tha... read more

Excellent Pet Boarding Facility – Took my 3 dogs there for boarding while I was on vacation. They were there for over a week and everything was fine when I picked them up. One of my dogs had been there several years ago for day camp and as soon as I mentioned "camp" to him he started to go crazy with excitement. I would definitely recommend this facility for boarding needs.

Excellent Service – I have been using Kennelwood since moving to St. Louis and I am happy to share my experience of Kennelwood online. I got a little Westie early spring 2011. His first experience was their wonderful (and free) puppy playtime and puppy grooming. He was one of the first puppies to enjoy their newly constructed play area and exhausted himself he was having such an enjoyable time. Subsequently, he has experienced their training, grooming and boarding services. Over several months, I have noticed a pattern - his... read more

Kennel cough – We boarded our two dogs here - an older pug and a young chihuahua - and picked them up on 8/4/11 and they both have kennel cough and the pug esp. is very sick. Apparently a lot of dogs have gotten sick. The pug also came home with a bladder infection. Kennelwood refunded half our boarding fee but were pretty cavalier (like hey it happens) and didn't even ask how our dogs were doing. Our dogs have all their vaccinations - we have used kennelwood for years but would never use them again

Check their work – Adequate for cat boarding (unfortunately, there's nothing in the US like British catteries, where the cats actually have room to run around) but if you ask for grooming, make sure they've actually done it. I got home--30 miles away--before I realized they had charged me for a nail trim and file that they hadn't actually done. Drag.

Response to "Not ok" Review – I just wanted to say that I don't personally know anything about your experience here. But after reading your review, you seem to be a little misinformed about the source of your puppy's roundworms. I am a Veterinary Technician Student and I know that the prepatent period for roundworms is about 3-4 weeks. Which means that the time between your puppy's infection to when he/she would start shedding worms or eggs in the feces would be 3-4 weeks. Therefore it is impossible that your baby got roundw... read more
