Due to the snow and travel not being advised, Heartland Kennels will be closed today for daycare and grooming. ❄️

Our boarding dogs are still being cared for as usual. If you have a boarding dog coming or going today, you are still able to come—we just ask that you text or call ahead with the time you plan to arrive so we can meet you.

If you had a grooming appointment scheduled for today, we will be reaching out sometime today to reschedule.

Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe!

‼️ Important update ‼️

After a lot of thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to adjust our weekend hours. Starting May 1st, Heartland Kennels will close at 12:00pm on Saturdays and will be closed on Sundays.

As a small family-owned business, we have spent many years dedicating our weekends to caring for the dogs that come through our doors. We truly love what we do and feel incredibly grateful for the trust you place in us. At the same time, we’ve realized it’s important for us to begin prioritizing time with family, our health, and having a day to rest. In order to continue providing the level of care your dogs deserve, we also need to make sure we are taking care of ourselves.

We understand this change may require some schedule adjustments, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support of our small business.

Please note:
• Saturday grooming appointments that require an after 12pm pickup will still run as usual, so no worries! The only difference is that payment will be taken at drop-off, and prompt pickup will be required once your dog is finished. Your groomer will reach out with at least a 15-minute notice before the groom is complete. They will then be waiting for pickup before heading out for the day, so we greatly appreciate your prompt arrival. If pickup is delayed, a late pickup fee may apply.
• Dogs staying with us for boarding will continue to be cared for by our staff as usual. The kennel will simply be closed to the public on Sundays.

Thank you for trusting us with your dogs and for being such an important part of the Heartland Kennels family. 🐾

📣 Important Update 📣

Due to being at full capacity, we are not accepting any new clients for grooming, boarding or daycare at this time.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from our amazing clients and their pets! Our priority is making sure we can continue providing the best care and attention to the dogs already in our programs. 🐾

If anything changes in the future, we will be sure to post an update. Thank you for your understanding and for trusting us with your furry family members! ❤️

Front desk supervisor Maple here with a holiday reminder 🐶

On Easter Sunday, we will be closed for all drop-offs and pick-ups. 🌷 But don’t worry— our team will still be here all day caring for our overnight boarding guests, giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. 🐾💛

📣 Attention all Heartland Kennels Customers!

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to upgrade our software system, and we’re excited to officially share it with you!

Over the past several weeks, our team has already been using and getting familiar with our new system, Paw Partner, to ensure a smooth transition. Effective January 19th, Paw Partner will become available for customer use. You will receive a claim account email from Paw Partner, so it is very important to keep an eye on your email and check your spam/junk folder to ensure you don’t miss it.

What does this mean for you?

You’ll have access to an online login (via our website or mobile app) where you can:

Request appointments online
See updates about your pets
Fill out forms
Submit vaccination records
& MORE
—all in one convenient place!

We know there may still be a bit of a learning curve as everyone begins using the system, and we truly appreciate your patience as we continue to fine-tune things. We’re confident this upgrade will make communication and scheduling easier and more efficient moving forward.

Important:

We’ll need every single customer—new and existing—to fill out a new waiver and submit current vaccine records. All other data will transfer automatically from our old system, but these two items will need to be resubmitted. This can all be done directly from your customer login.

Email Update Needed:

To ensure you receive your Paw Partner account email, please let us know now if you have a new email address or if you’ve never provided one to us. You can email or text us your name and the best email to use.

Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation as we complete this exciting transition. We appreciate your support and look forward to offering you an improved experience with Paw Partner!
