About Fleas and
Ticks
We do not allow them!
We know you and your pet do not want them either. We do not
have a mandatory bath for pets coming in. We will check the pet
for evidence of fleas, and we will dip or bathe all pets with fleas at
the owner's expense before going into the runs. For the sake of our
customers and our pet guests, we will not waive this rule. You may dip
your pet at home just before boarding if you wish to reduce your
boarding expense. We highly recommend Frontline so your pet does
not have to tolerate fleas, and we have no need for bathing except for
hygiene and grooming purposes.
Requirements
for
Boarding:
For the safety of
all of our guests, we require all pets to be up-to-date with all
vaccines. Veterinarian certificates are preferred. If not available, we
will call your Veterinarian for verification. Long distance charges are
extra. Distemper, Parvo, parainfluenza, Hepatitis, Bordetella, Corona,
Adenovirus, and Rabies must be current for all dogs. Cats must have
current Rabies, Rhino, Calici, Panleukopenia, Leukemia, Chlamydia, and
FIP,
No pets accepted
without up-to date Shots!
If you do not have
a Veterinarian, you will need to find one. Vaccinations should be given
several weeks before boarding your pet for its protection.
A Veterinarian
must administer Rabies vaccines!
The kennel may
accept geriatric Pets at additional charge. The acceptance and cost is
dependent upon care requirements. There are many conditions which must
be handled by a Licensed Veterinarian. We encourage you to speak with
your Vet about your aging pet.

The
Groom
Room
We
have operated The Groom Room in Hernando County since 1989. We only
groom at our kennel these days. Our main business is Boarding and
Grooming and we can not be in two places at the same time. We
still pick up and deliver for those of customers are shut in and can
not come to the shop.
Our
special clientele include the famous pekingese on the Milkbone Dog
Biscuit Box. We groom Champions as well as other special pets in your
life. We groom terriers including rare ones. Yes, we also groom cats
and even guinea pigs and rabbits.
We
can accommodate the geriatric pets. We also can arrange for grooming
the pets for those shut in's who require the best for their pets also.
We
love puppies. Our future clientele comes to us many times as a puppy.
Young puppies need a special introduction to grooming and require extra
time, and we are always happy to groom the youngsters.
Let
our professionals pamper your pet as we have since 1981. We usually
require appointments for our grooming customers.
Please
call ahead for an appointment for your precious companions. (352)

Map to Kennel
Directions and Map
below.
Our quiet and
convenient location is 1/2 mile off of US41 just north of County Line
Road and South of Spring Hill Drive. Follow US41 to the flashing yellow
traffic light in Masaryktown. Turn east on Wilson. The Masaryktown Cafe
is on the corner. Some of our customers choose their delicious Cuban
Cuisine while they are in the neighborhood. Follow the paved road
curving left then right until you see our sign on the right side of the
street. If you check your odometer when you turn from US 41, we are
exactly. 1/2 mile on the right(South Side) of the street. Drive back to
the Kennel at our sign. The Kennel is back 300 ft (Length of football
field) from the road.
Long Term Boarding
For
many years we have been a source for boarding your pets long
term. We board many for military personnel on TDY or for those
who are going ahead to find suitable quarters. We offer home like
care for your pets for the stressful times when they must be apart from
their loving families for great lengths of time.
While
we bond with your pets, we are specially trained to not form great
bonds with them so you have trouble upon returning. We call it
being grandparents to your pet rather than an adopted family to
them. We want them to miss you somewhat and make efforts to
assure you that they will act the same toward their real family when
the time comes. Most kennels offer only a discounted rate as part
of their program. If a discounted rate is all you are looking for
on a long term, TDY, or Quarantine waiting to be acceptable to other
country, then we are not the ones to help you. There is so much
more to boarding than rates, we would rather you call others first and
call us last.
Veterinary
care is important to any boarding facility and Veterinarians
surprisingly do poorly on long term boarding. Their professional
thrust is medical treatment and send them home. We offer the best
Veterinary care by leading professionals in their own
offices. Loneliness is as serious for pets as well as their
owners. At Glenwood, we believe your pet should receive regular
care by the same care giver each day and mealtime should always be at
the same time each day. We think your pet should have more
exercise than sitting around in an airline kennel except for potty
calls. Exercise means running to their own ability several times
a day where they can be supervised but not restrained by leash.
We offer large fenced paddocks where dogs can be dogs.
Quarantine
for AQIS (Australia for those who don't know) is available. This
is probably the most demanding and frustrating for the owner and the
pet. Six months is a long time and the Kennel must have medical
tests done at the appropriate times to assure the pets may be shipped
with minimum time spent in Quarantine. We know the dates, the
requirements, and where to have them tested. We are aware of the
USDA Veterinary requirements. We know the Titer requirements and
whose are acceptable. There is little value of a highly
discounted rate if your pet has to stay longer than six months in
quarantine.
Some
airlines are better than others. We recently took a preferred
status Airline from prefe red and moved them to "Last Resort" because
of their new internal policies. Some shippers offer Boarding with
their shipping service. Be sure to ask them if they Board your
pet or if someone else contracts with them. Perhaps you and your
pet will need their shipping service but would be better served by
Boarding with us. This is a complicated procedure and none are
the same. Please call us or email us for a time to call.
Its too complex to handle by email. Allow about 20 minutes or
longer for long distance. Email us at glenwood@tampabay.rr.com.352
