Ivanhoe Country Kennels Lebanon, Ohio

They always take the best care of our Cookie Monster. She is a small chihuahua, and we always worry bc of her breed, but they do an absolute fantastic job with her.

My dog loved this place! He was exhausted afterwards which is always the sign of a good time for him. Very reasonably priced, super friendly and helpful staff, and love that they have a pool to cool off in the summer!! Would highly recommend.

Our dog needed to be socialized after all the Covid 19 quarantining / isolation and a friend recommended Ivanhoe. They are wonderful and take excellent care of her. Definitely recommended if you require boarding or just doggie daycare.

I’ve been working at Ivanhoe for two years and have been bringing my dogs for 10. I see what goes on behind the scenes and I still recommend the place. The owner is knowledgeable, the staff is friendly, and the facility is clean. Attached is a picture of my dog at Ivanhoe (the yellow lab)

We boarded our 7 year old Coonhound Mix from 5/29/2021 thru 6/6/2021 at Ivanhoe. This was our first visit here as it was recommended to us by my sister in law. The staff were friendly and respectful with my husband and I and responded quickly to emails as well. With our dog, we brought his bed, a Nylabone and his food from home. When we picked him up, his bed was still intact and not tore up. He seemed happy and seemed to have a good time. The girls there said our dog was no issue, just a "talker" (lol). I seen other reviews stating that their dog smelled of urine or the bed was tore. Our dog just smelled like pond water and had some tried mud on his tummy, but that's most likely due to playing with other dogs, running around and having fun. We don't have much yard/land where we live in Dayton, so our dog was tired when he came home!! Lol. Definitely would recommend & will be back again!! - (So much better than where we have boarded our dog in the past (Pet Suites), where he came home not feeling well after coming home from Pet Suites).

Had a great experience with Ivanhoe. Oliver was very happy to be there and came home with a fresh grooming and new friends.

Love this place. I know my dogs are well cared for. Our lab loved their swimming pool!

We don't like to leave our dog behind when we travel, but we do so more easily knowing that she's in good hands.

I am not impressed at the state that I picked my dog up in. All we were told when we picked her up was that "she had fun". But as we were leaving I noticed she was covered in urine and had one mat in her ear, and upon closer inspection it seems they had already cut a chunk of hair from her ear, I assume to remove another mat that she did not have when she was initially boarded. I understand that things happen but I would have appreciated a cleaner dog, as well as some communication regarding what went on while she was in your care.

This guy is difficult at best, and acts like a bigshot. Rude beyond belief, I don’t know why anyone would want to do business with this guy. Look at the other 1 star reviews, there’s a few. Entry after owner reply: I avoided gagging by having a little laugh. You must have consulted a clean-up service... it won’t help, you are an unreasonable ugly person. I still have your ugly text messages and can post them if you would like.

My dog always has a good time.

Bought a pup that was bred there and she is excellent

I've been boarding my pets here for the last couple of years and they always take great care of them. They have a wonderful facility for dogs and cats and we will continue to bring our pets here for years to come.

This was our first time leaving our dog here and she seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up. The staff was friendly and helpful.

We love Ivanhoe! Our dog Baxter has stayed there MANY times and we have never felt that he was not going to get loving care. He gets so excited to go and play and comes home and will sleep for a couple of days.

We have been bringing our Penny here for 5 years and she is very well taken care of. The employees are very friendly and very good with the dogs. It’s a very clean kennel.

We have been boarding our dog Earl at Ivanhoe for several years now. Once Earl gets an idea where we are headed, he goes crazy! He LOVES going to Ivanhoe and seeing all his friends. The inside/outside facility is great and they have an inground dog pool open in the summer! As Earl's owner, I trust Bill and his staff, who all know and love dogs. They know Earl and his personality, and make both of us feel welcome and comfortable.

Great kennel with a dog pool in summer

My dog ,Snoopy < has been going there for boarding and daycare for 3 years. He loves it! I don't worry about him when I am gone. The place is clean and the staff is great!

Professional, easy to work with, and responsive - what a great partner! Our dog really seems to enjoy the “country feel” of the outdoor areas, and we love that it’s so close to home. Love that the crew carries a great reputation & proven work history in professional dog training and care. We are also happy that there are so many easy-to-schedule amenities with daycare or boarding, right off the website. Early drop-off (730) and late pick-up (6p) is a favorite of ours for daycare on days when we are working away from our home office. It has a cozy, clean, and happy atmosphere which is comforting when leaving our girl there when we are away!

The staff was very friendly,and it was very clean. They gave Murphy a lot of attention.

Caring and experienced staff. Clean with plenty of care and space for our pets

Great place to kennel your dog while on vacation.

our dog spent 2 days at the vet after staying here from a Sat. afternoon until a Tues. morning..everything on this mat our dog ate while in this kennels care, they did NOT tell us anything until we called them, they threw this mat away with NO word to us..our dog threw up 9 times after we brought her home, black threads coming up, had to take her to her vet for 2 days of testing to make sure the blockage was going to pass, the meds they gave her worked thank god..Ivanhoe is taking No blame at all..unfortunate we have to seek legal action to clear this up, thankfully we have all the medical records, the vet's help and a wonderful attorney **IN RESPONSE TO OWNERS STATEMENT** 1. Our Shemy threw up BLACK mat Fibers that she slept on at YOUR kennel that we told you about 3 times in phone calls before you called back..our vet has xrays and SAMPLES of the mat that YOUR people dug out of garbage and gave us that matches the fibers. 2. Our dog was picked up from the facility Tuesday morning at approximately 10:30 am, NOT first thing in the morning as stated in the kennel's comments. No matter when the destroyed mat was discovered by staff, its our belief, common courtesy would be to let the pet's owner know. When we finally reached a staff member, they found the mat in the garbage. The kennel's notes do not indicate "they forgot to call us," or "it skipped their mind when we picked up Shemy to let us know," - only that is is a normal occurrence and requires no further action on their part unless an emotional client calls later when their pet is in distress has been taken to the vet after repeatedly vomiting up with fibers, bile, and blood. We do not believe it unreasonable to expect to be informed if there is ANY possibility of health/welfare issues experienced during the course of her stay. Now it leaves to question - did this happen only the night before? Did this happen every night she was there? Did she show indications / symptoms at any time during her stay - even earlier that morning? We've no way to know.

Molly (English Setter) and Crystal (deceased Himalayan) have stayed at Ivanhoe Country Kennels numerous times over the past several years. We've continued to trust Ivanhoe with the care of our pets because the facility is well planned, extremely clean, and convenient. The employees are kind, professional, and accommodating to the pets and their owners. Thanks to everyone at Ivanhoe for making Molly's and Crystal's experiences safe and pleasant.

We love bringing Kylee & Finn to Ivanhoe. They are always well taken care of, & have a great time! Kylee & Finn always come home happy & healthy. The staff are very kind & always helpful, the facility is upscale, & very well kept.

We absolutely love Ivanhoe. Our Callie is well taken care of and always exhausted after her visit from playing so hard. The staff does a wonderful job of taking care of her— Callie’s tail starts wagging the moment we turn into Ivanhoe. I’d highly recommend their services to any pet owner!
