Shawnee Kennels

Shawnee Kennels is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 6729 Shawnee Rd in Milford, DE, with room for up to 48 dogs. The owners live on the property. The kennel describes itself as a home away from home, with safe and steady surroundings while an owner is away.

What the kennel offers

Runs are climate controlled, and dogs get both indoor play space and outdoor space during the day. An emergency backup generator covers power outages, and a security fence encloses the grounds. Grooming is available on site, including a turbo spa bath.

Hours and drop-off windows

Shawnee Kennels keeps short windows rather than all-day access. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday run 7:00-7:30 AM, 12:00-12:30 PM, and 5:00-6:00 PM. Wednesday has the two earlier windows only. Saturday is 9:00-10:00 AM, and Sunday is 4:00-5:00 PM. Those narrow slots are worth noting when planning a return drive.

Requirements

Proof of vaccination is required before a dog can board. Dogs also need to be on flea and tick prevention. Anyone with a dog on daily medication should mention it when booking, since the kennel can administer it.
