About Us!
DOGS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN!
Our Temperment Test
Because Woods Creek Kennels is a pack environment, every dog must pass a temperament test. They cannot be aggressive toward people or other dogs. They also cannot be food or toy possessive. If your dog is either of these, this would not be the proper environment for them.
First they will be tested for attitude and human handling. This may include all 4 paws being picked up, petting all over your dog's body, a big restraint hug, and teeth and ear check. This is to see how comfortable your dog is with this kind of touch both physically and emotionally.
Afterward, they get to have the playground to themselves until they're comfortable and then we introduce one dog at a time to see how they react and ensure every-doggy's comfort level.
Dog screening takes place when your dog arrives for boarding or daycare.

Woods Creek Kennels is a privately owned and operated
business offering 12 overnight kennels. This allows us to give
One-on-One quality care to your dog.
In addition to holding the required state license, and Snohomish
County's "Kennel License", we are also fully insured by KENNEL
PRO.
The owner is also certified as a Veterinary Assistant and holds
both First Aid and CPR certifications.
Facility Hours
Because this is also our home, we are "by appointment only"
between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM Monday thru Friday.
Saturday and Sunday 8:00am - 6:00pm. However, early
drop-offs can be arranged if needed.
Tours are also "by appointment only" during normal business
hours - just give us a call and we will make every effort to
accommodate your schedule.
We encourage you to bring your dog with you for a tour as
we feel this helps eliminate possible anxiety the next time they
come for boarding and/or daycare. Please have your dog on a
LEASH when you arrive at the Kennel.
What to Bring
Food:
We supply Purina One or you can bring your own food. However,
to alleviate potential tummy problems from a change in diet, we
suggest you bring their food. Please bring at least two extra
days of food in case a need arises to extend your pup's stay. All
unused food will be returned upon check-out!
Favorite Bedding and their Favorite Toy:
Again optional - We provide all campers with a "Thera-Cot"
elevated dog bed and a "Snoozy" for their comfort. If
destroyed or chewed, owner will be charged $35.00
replacement fee at check-out. Your camper might also enjoy
their favorite blanket, toy or a worn item of your clothing as
well.
Proof of Vaccinations:
All dogs must be current on their vaccinations including: DHPP
(distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvovirus), Rabies,
Bordatella (every 6 months), and a negative fecal test within
the last 6 months (the fecal test doesn't necessarily need an
appt at your vet and most results are given same day).
We also require that your dog be on some sort of flea
prevention medicine.
ALL dogs must be in good health - this ensures the safety
of your dog! IF YOUR DOG HAS NOT BEEN SPAYED OR
NEUTERED PLEASE LET US KNOW BEFOREHAND.
Registration Form:
If you didn't fax or mail your completed registration form
before your scheduled reservation, be sure to bring it with you.
We must have proof of vaccinations prior to your boarding date -
fax a copy or we can verify by calling your veterinary office.
It's also very important that you provide your contact
information as well as someone who can be reached by telephone.
This person must be willing and able if absolutely necessary to
come to Woods Creek Kennels within a few hours to pick up your
pet in the event of an emergency, especially if you plan to be out
of the local area.
Medications:
Bagged and labeled with your dogs name. We will follow all label
directions if in question.
