Walnut Ridge Kennels

Walnut Ridge Kennels Your dogs' home away from home! Call or Text us to schedule!
989-269-9039 The kennel started with 10 runs but we quickly added 30 more.

Walnut Ridge Kennels is family-owned/operated boarding kennel, nestled in a quiet country setting in Huron County, Michigan. Located outside the city of Bad Axe in the "heart" of the Thumb, we have been in existence since 1999. After expanding yet again, we now have the capacity to house 60 dogs. We have spacious 4'x8' chain link runs inside for larger dogs and 3'x6' runs for the smaller dogs. For

the optimal comfort of our guests, the building is climate controlled. Soft music is played throughout the day and night, having a calming effect on the dogs. Outside we have 2 large fenced areas where the dogs are able to exercise and play several times a day. You may bring toys, blankets, treats, etc for your poochie to have during their stay with us. Dogs must be up to date on 3 vaccinations at least one week prior to boarding: bordetella, rabies and distemper. Give us a call if you have any questions or want to schedule! Our Staff: Missy Rooney, Kelsey Connors & Kayla Parrish

I'm going to cancel class for tonight. I think it is in the best interest of the people and dogs not to compromise anyone's health just for a dog obedience class. Thanks for understanding and stay safe🐾

Regarding our dog obedience class…the consensus is that some people have other obligations, work etc. and I have decided to just have dog class next Tuesday at 7 PM. Let’s hope for no rain. Thank you for understanding.🐾😊

With the looks of the instability in the radar and the sky, I think it is best that we cancel obedience class until tomorrow evening at 7. I just don't want to get everyone here and then it starts to downpour. I hope that everyone understands and we will look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening. Thank you🐾
