I have taken both of my dogs to dogwood Lodge kennels numerous times over the past several years for up to 3 weeks at a time. My dogs literally jump out of my pickup to run into the kennel! To the people complaining about lack of food or exercise, these issues are easily and reasonably discussed with Jim, the owner. He is conscientious, always willing to help, and a true pleasure to deal with. We all love our dogs as family and I feel secure leaving my dogs with him!

My wife unexpectedly went into labor a month early. We live over an hour outside of Helena, so we had our dogs with us when we got to the hospital. Jim went above and beyond to help me out with getting our dogs boarded during our hospital stay. He took great care of our dogs and he was easy to get a hold of and communicate with. Thanks Jim!

I use Dogwood 3-4 times per year and have done so for several years.

I have found them to be trustworthy and caring.
I have no hesitation taking our pet there.
