Black Gold Kennels

I would highly recommend Black Gold Kennels, as it is clear Merrilee cares about all dogs and is very friendly and accomodating to their humans. The property is large and secure while the number of kennels is not very high to allow for care and attention to the dogs. There are spots for individual pups and pairs, and every spot has an outdoor area. We were confident our dogs would be in good hands, and should we need to board them again in the future, we would be happy to return. Thank you for everything!

Their customer service needs major improvement! I requested pricing twice and never got a response on that.In response to your reply: why couldn't you respond to my requests and give me some pricing? What's the big deal? But don't worry anymore. I found a great kennel. A fantastic place for fur babies at Klinker Kennel in Ponoka!

Love this kennel! My dog Roscoe has such a great time and they’re trustworthy and reliable! Really happy leaving my pup knowing he’ll be well taken care of!

I love this place! Merrilee is the sweetest. You can tell she likes dogs and truly takes care of them. Both times I went to the kennel it smelled GOOD. Very clean! My 4 Goldens came home tired (from playing) clean, smelling and looking good. Very impressed. My new place for boarding!

Our dog Ollie always LOVES his stays at Black Gold Kennels! It’s so great to have a place for him to stay that I know he is well taken care of! Merrilee is friendly and wonderful to work with!

My experience with Black Gold Kennels has been nothing short of exceptional, from their clean facilities to their caring and knowledgeable staff, every aspect of their service demonstrates their commitment to the well-being of the dogs in their care. I most definitely feel comfortable and certain that our St. Bernard, Walter, is in good hands and our family can really enjoy our vacations peacefully knowing he is well taken care of.

They watched our dog Zoro for 2 weeks while we went on vacation! We were sent pictures every couple days and he seemed so happy. He wasnt stuck in a cage all day. She would take him out running everyday! Would FOR SURE bring him here again.

Merrilee and her boarding kennel are fantastic! We have never used another kennel since finding black gold. Clean environment, raised beds and she treats our boy like gold. I cannot say enough good things about black gold kennels !

We recently left our Lab at Black Gold Kennels during a family vacation. I cannot say enough good things about this business. From the very start, Merrilee was excellent to deal with, very responsive, so easy to work with and so accommodating. To be honest I didn't think businesses like this existed anymore.I understand that this business was previously under different ownership and I had even read the odd negative review from that particular era. I can say without hesitation the current owners went over the top with customer service and the care of our pet.When we dropped our dog off at the kennel, we were immediately given a tour of the facility which we found to be in excellent order and very clean. During vacation, we received update reports and photos showing how our dog was doing. We definitely recommend this place and wouldn't dream of using a different kennel. Thank you guys for taking care of Maya!!!
