ABOUT OLD HIGHWAY DOG BOARDING L.L.C.
Treating your pets like members of our family
We moved to Manchester, IA from the south suburbs of Chicago in 2007 due to a job opportunity. Best decision we ever made. We can think of no better place to raise our family. Our property is almost two and a half acres located just east of Manchester on "Old Hwy 20". We decided to start Old Highway Dog Boarding L.L.C. in 2018 as a local option for home based boarding in a family atmosphere. If you are like us, the decision to leave our four-legged family members for any length of time is not taken lightly. We want you to know that we will treat your dog the same way we want ours treated. We currently have two dogs. Zoey is a purebred Rhodesian Ridgeback and Ruby is a Boxer/Coonhound mix we adopted from Cedar Valley Humane Society. We also have "barn cats", chickens, turkeys and Guinea fowl. Not quite Noah's Ark, but close.
SERVICES
Treating your pets like members of our family
Whether it is a weekend get-away or a vacation, you can rest assured that your four-legged family member will be in good hands. We don't believe in locking any animal in a cage for 23 1/2 hours a day. We will make sure that your dog gets to run, play, and exercise at least 3-4 times a day. At your discretion, we will allow your dog to socialize with our dogs or other guests

BOARDING
Your pet’s happiness and safety are our highest priorities. During this service, we learn what they like and dislike and always treat them with kindness and patience. And we never charge extra for snuggles - it’s included. We have almost an acre and a half fenced for exercise and play. Our building is clean, fully insulated, climate controlled (heat and A/C), and secure (24hr/day video surveillance). We are state licensed as a Commercial Kennel. License information available upon request or online at: We do require proof of vaccinations (minimum of Distemper, Rabies, Parvo (as of January 8th 2020) and Bordetella/kennel cough). We offer several different size of powder coated steel kennels. All kennels will be cleaned daily and sanitized after every stay. We will provide a raised cot in each kennel, bowls that will be sanitized daily, toys, and fresh filtered water. You must provide food and any extra blankets or bedding. Our "Boarding Agreement" and "Pet Profile" must be filled out for each pet prior to their stay. We have both forms available to pick up if you visit us ahead of time, and can also send them to you via e-mail or old fashioned "snail mail" ahead of time to expedite the check in process.
