My dog Cooper will be 8 years old this year, and I have brought him to Black Walnut Kennel since day 1. We were referred to the kennel by multiple friends and family, and it’s very clear why they are so highly recommended. My husband and I love to get away on vacation a few times a year, and I am so happy to know that Cooper is in great hands every time! He always comes back happy and clean, as we book a bath with Julianne every stay. She always manages to get out his shedding undercoat, even if he is sometimes uncooperative. The staff are very personable and friendly, always listening to our concerns and accommodating any requests we have about limited grass time during muddy seasons. I would and do recommend Black Walnut Kennel to anyone looking to board their pets as they are the very best in the business.

Because of a medical emergency our German Short Hair Pointer was kennelled at Back Walnut. The staff was wonderful and really catered to us. We were able to come back and forth for day trips from the hospital. At that time we would pick Lady up – she was happy to see us and happy to go back to Black Walnut Kennel. This made me know that she was having a great time. I was able to have friends pick her up for daily walks. And again she reports back she was happy. She showed no signs of stress – which has always been a concern of mine as I am a kennel newbie. In fact she gained weight! Black Walnut Kennel took amazing care of Lady which I am very grateful for especially through such a difficult time for my family. It was one less family member I had to take care of – because Lady is family. Thank you again Black Walnut Kennel!

Before moving from Salt Spring Island here to Chilliwack we were given the name of the Black Walnut Kennel by different friends who had been using the kennel for a long time. We have used them many times over the past 2.5 years and always been very pleased. The staff love our cat Pork Chop and give him lots of loves and cuddles! It’s a very good place to leave your furry member of the family as they will be well cared for.
This is Rina. She is my latest dog that I have boarded at this kennel. Since the spring of 2002, shortly after moving to Agassiz from Ontario (with 5 German Shepherds), I have been exclusively using this kennel to board my dogs, at least 5 or 6 times a year. Rina will be the 7th dog and she has been there several times already since I adopted her in late September 2016. I believe the kennel owners and staff are excellent to work with, have been very accommodating, are always enthusiastic in their approach to working with dogs and owners, are friendly, take the owners’ comments and information into consideration, and seem to know the dogs well (whenever I call the kennel from my holiday site and ask about my dog, I get information that satisfies me that the staff are observant and caring). Rina has no fears about being there (which is important for me because she was a stray and rescue dog) or being turned over to one of the staff, and she looks happy and well cared for upon my return. I highly endorse this kennel, both the staff and the accommodations.
Our dog, Brody, has been coming to Black Walnut Kennel for years. Every time he comes he is so excited! The kennel is very clean. Staff are always organized and accommodating. It’s obvious they truly love dogs. When people ask where I send my dog when we go on holidays, I always recommend Black Walnut Kennel.

Black Walnut Kennel is who I trust to care for my dog, while my family is away. The staff is warm, friendly and willing to meet the needs of my dog to ensure her stay is enjoyable. The kennel is clean and I like that my dog has the chance for outdoor play. My favorite thing about Black Walnut Kennel is when I pick up my dog, staff lets me know how the stay went and I feel like they know my dog. I know that they care for my pet too.

I think that the best testimonial that we can provide for Black Walnut Kennel is the fact that Simon is the 3rd dog we have been bringing to the Kennel for exemplary care since we arrived in Chilliwack in 1996.

We love bringing Trooper to Black Walnut – for Daycare and longer visits overnight – he loves your staff and the interaction with other animals. Thank you for your service.
