Located in the beautiful countryside of Utica, Ohio, Farm Life Kennels LLC provides a comfortable and safe environment for dogs of all sizes. Known for its clean and spacious kennels, this facility appeals to both local residents and those visiting nearby areas. The kennel prides itself on fair pricing, a caring owner, and a simple yet secure farm atmosphere ideal for pet owners seeking peace of mind while traveling or enjoying local activities.
Farm Life Kennels stands out for its wheelchair accessible parking and personalized care. The owner is frequently praised for her kindness and attentiveness, offering families the option to tour the facilities and even sending updates while pets are boarded. Although opinions about the facility’s amenities can vary, many visitors appreciate the serene farm setting and the evident commitment to each dog’s wellbeing.
Do not take your animals here! Took the family dog to this place, and he somehow escaped from the fenced in enclosure. The owner never called us, I’m not actually sure she even noticed that he was gone (he’s a 50 lb dog, not some tiny little lap dog). Thankfully a kind stranger found him running down the road a few miles away, and was able to get him in her car and call the micro chip company, so we were able to get him back. When I went back to the kennel to get his belongings, the woman showed not an ounce of remorse, and didn’t seem to care one bit that she lost our dog. Not so much as a pathetic “sorry”. I wouldn’t trust this kennel with a family pet, unless you don’t care about them. If they can’t even be trusted to keep an animal secure in an enclosed area, how do you know they’re actually taking care of your animal, feeding, etc. like you’re paying them to do. It seemed to me that the owner considers all animals livestock, rather than pets.
We’ve used Farm Life Kennels several times now for our three pups when we’ve traveled and I’ve been pleased every time. The prices are more than fair and the pups are always well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone needing a place to board. Owner is very friendly and kennels are very clean.
We were looking at boarding with this facility when we needed to go away for a couple days. The website was great so we were under the impression that it would be a wonderful stay for our two dogs. Upon arrival at the place, the housing the dogs were kept in was extremely sad and dilapidated. Small, dark kennels with little to no lighting and absolutely no A/C. She said some of those dogs have been there for years which she had explanations for but I cannot fathom the idea of housing any kind of pet in that environment for any period of time and especially not any long length of time. You’d think of the owners aren’t/don’t come back she could surrender them to a shelter where they could get better care than what she can provide. There are better places elsewhere out there.
We recently moved to the area, and in preparing for a trip out of the country, we were so pleased we found Diane at Farm Life Kennels LLC! She was not only wonderful to our girls, but so kind to us. We were anxious to leave our older, small, dogs with a new kennel that they had never been to. Diane was kind enough to set up a time for us to come tour the facilities before hand, and went above and beyond by checking in with us about half-way through our trip with a few pictures and a little note saying they were just fine.
We LOVE the simple, but safe, farm atmosphere & the very reasonable prices. We truly appreciated Diane’s kindness and gentleness, and we’ll gladly use Farm Life Kennels LLC for future boarding services!
Great place to take dogs while out of town or even for family gatherings etc. when getting the dogs out of the house is nice. Last time we left our dogs here for a week when going to Florida and when we got back they were both 10lbs heavier and happy as can be. Kennels are super clean and spacious. Best dog kennels we have ever used. Top notch A+++
