There’s a new business dedicated to pet comfort. Farm Dog Boarding is a small, intimate kennel that believes in quality not quantity, boarding only four to six pups at a time. They are located on a beautiful farm where dogs can relax and enjoy time outdoors. The kennel includes a four-acre fenced off-leash area where your dog can run and play freely. There is a separate area for smaller dogs to ensure they can play in a safe environment. There are also scenic walking trails to explore. You can find them online at farmdogboarding.com or drop by their location at 1594 Keene Road, just south of Peterborough.
