WELCOME TO OLD HIGHWAY DOG BOARDING L.L.C.
All dogs, big and small, are welcome in our pack
Old Hwy Dog Boarding is a home away from home for your four-legged friend. Whether they’re coming for a day, night or extended stay, we promise they’ll have the best care possible. We strongly encourage you to stop out with your dogs and visit. We would love to get to know them before their stay.
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. Domino is a German Shorthaired Pointer and Ruby is a Boxer/Coonhound mix we adopted from Cedar Valley Humane Society.
Announcements
A Quick Update from Old Highway Dog Boarding
We want to take a moment to let our valued customers know about an upcoming change to our boarding rates.
Since opening our doors, we’ve worked hard to keep our rates affordable and have not increased our prices since July 2021. However, with the rising costs of operating and maintaining our facility, it has become necessary to make a small adjustment.
Effective January 1st 2027, our boarding rates will increase by $5 per day:
One dog will now be $30 per calendar day
Two dogs sharing a kennel will be $45 per calendar day
We will continue to offer the same cash discount
This wasn’t a decision we made lightly. We understand that any price increase affects our customers, and we’ve done our best to keep this adjustment as reasonable as possible.
We truly appreciate the trust you place in us to care for your four-legged family members. Your continued support means everything to us, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of their lives.
Thank you for supporting Old Highway Dog Boarding and allowing us to care for your best friends!
Please remember that we charge per calendar day, NOT by the night like a hotel. Example, if you drop off on Friday at 3pm and pick up on Saturday at 2 pm this counts as two days. This allows us to be extremely flexible with drop off and pick-up times. As always, please ask if you need more clarification. We can always give you the total beforehand.
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.
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: https://iowaagriculture.gov/animal-industry-bureau/animal-welfare. 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 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.
