Bethway Kennels

Bethway Kennels is a family-owned boarding kennel in Connecticut that takes dogs and cats for overnight stays, with grooming and training offered alongside. Owners looking for dog boarding in Connecticut will find a small-scale setup rather than a big-box operation. Each dog gets its own kennel with a private enclosed patio attached, and a doggie door lets pets move between the indoor and outdoor sides.

What a boarding stay includes

Boarding covers three outdoor breaks a day, plus individual attention throughout the day. Every kennel has a raised cot, and the kennel area is temperature controlled. Extra walks and playtime sessions can be added for $10 per session. Staff administer medication for pets that need it, and the kennel area is supervised 24/7.

Practical details

Published rates run from $30 to $60 per night, depending on the pet and the kennel. Proof of vaccination is required before a stay. Booking is handled by phone at 203-223-6987, so there is no online reservation form to fill out. The kennel is open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM seven days a week, with extended hours until 7:30 PM on Thursdays.

What makes it different

The patio setup is the clearest departure from a standard indoor run. Dogs are not kept in one shared indoor room; each has its own space with direct outdoor access on the same kennel. Climate control matters in a state with real winters and humid summers, and the raised cots keep dogs off the floor. Households traveling with both a cat and a dog can book both at the same place, which saves a second drop-off across town.
