Hilo Kennels

We require proof of core vaccinations for all boarding guests, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo. This ensures compliance with our health protocols and protects the well-being of your pet and others in our care.

We inspect all boarding guests thoroughly for fleas and ticks at check-in. If pests are detected during inspection or later, we treat pets with topical products (see our price guide) to maintain a pest-free environment and ensure the health of your pet.

We promote at-home dental care by offering NUBZ Dental Chews (NYLABONE) as our most requested healthy snack. These chews are available for purchase at reception and cut to fit your pet’s size, supporting oral health between professional cleanings.

We provide standard pet boarding with individual suites featuring raised orthopedic cots, cozy beds or rugs, and personalized care. Our guests receive morning & evening custom meals, unlimited playtime in designated areas (Penthouse Parlor for small pets, Big Dog Central for larger dogs), 1-2 treats per day, sanitized toys of varying sizes/textures, and unlimited fresh water. We enforce strict health protocols, including proof of current vaccines like Bordetella (Kennel Cough) upon check-in.

We offer doggie daycare with group play sessions from 7am to 6pm, Monday through Saturday. Reservations are required at least 2 days in advance, and we accommodate full/half-day visits. Socialized, vaccinated pets thrive here, but non-socialized guests can participate for an additional fee ($3 per visit). Our facilities include separate areas like the Penthouse Parlor (for small/tiny dogs) to ensure safety and comfort.
