Where your dog stays
Indoor/Outdoor Runs, Big and Small
Every dog at Longview has an indoor/outdoor run, some up to 40 feet long, in one of our two large kennel buildings with central heating and cooling. Dogs are let outside every 2 hours, and when the Michigan weather cooperates they can go in and out as they please.
Because every dog has the same indoor/outdoor space, every dog pays the same rate, whatever their size: $40 per calendar day.
- Two large dog kennel buildings
- Central heating and cooling in every building
- 24-hour monitored fire and carbon monoxide alarm
- Kennel staff on site before, during and after office hours
- Owners who live on the premises
The Buddy System
A Friend for the Stay
Dogs are pack animals, and most are happiest with a friend. For one-dog families we offer our Buddy System: we pair your dog with another single dog of similar size, age and personality to share an indoor/outdoor run. The company makes the stay more fun and helps with separation anxiety.
We take great care matching buddies, and many customers choose Longview for exactly this. Dogs who prefer their own space are just as welcome and just as well cared for. (A private run at your request is $60 per day.)
Want more play? Add group or private play time or a walk for $5 per activity, about 10 to 20 minutes depending on the weather.
Daily care
Food, Medications and the Little Things
Bring their own food
Changing food can upset a dog’s stomach, so we strongly suggest bringing your dog’s usual food. If you’d rather use ours, we keep a selection of proteins (usually chicken, beef, lamb and fish) for a small extra charge.
See the rates →Medications, given with care
Bring all medications in their original containers with the name and dose instructions. We have peanut butter, pill paste and canned food on hand for pills.
Bedtime treats
Every pup gets a treat at bedtime, unless you tell us otherwise. Special food preferences and routines are written down and followed.
Before the first stay
What Every Dog Needs
- At least 10 months old
- In good general health
- Social with other dogs and with people
- Current on Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella and Canine Influenza
- No vaccinations or vet visits in the 14 days before boarding
- Free of fleas and ticks, on a monthly preventative from your vet (flea collars don’t count)
Every new dog comes in first for a free 4-hour daycare session, Monday to Thursday, with drop-off between 10am and 12pm. It lets our staff see how your dog does in our environment, make sure the stay will be safe for everyone, and find good playmates. Families with more than one dog: we also make sure they get along in a shared space. Call (248) 879-0420 to set it up.

Your First Visit, Step by Step
Four simple steps before your pet’s first stay. Read the full new client guide.
Call or send a request
Tell us about your pet and the dates you have in mind. New dogs start with a free trial day, which we set up by phone.
Send vaccination records
E-mail, fax or bring in proof of current vaccines. No pet can be admitted without them on file.
Free 4-hour trial day
New dogs spend a free 4-hour daycare session with us, Monday to Thursday, dropped off between 10am and 12pm, so we can get to know them.
Forms and drop-off
Fill out the Pet Agreement once and a Check-In Form every visit, then bring your pet, their food and any medications.
How much is dog boarding at Longview?
$40 per calendar day per dog, the same for every size, since every dog has an indoor/outdoor run. Stays of 10 or more days are $38 a day, and 3 or more dogs staying 10+ days are $36 per dog per day. Military and veterinary families get $2 off the regular rate.
Does my dog need a trial visit first?
Yes. Every new dog comes in for a free 4-hour daycare session before their first stay, Monday to Thursday, with drop-off between 10am and 12pm. Call (248) 879-0420 to set it up.
Can my dog stay with my other dog?
Yes. Dogs from the same family can share a run; during the trial we make sure they get along well in a shared space.
My dog doesn’t like other dogs. Can he still board?
Yes. The Buddy System is optional. Dogs who prefer their own space are welcome and equally cared for. All boarding dogs must be social with people and other dogs, and we reserve the right to refuse aggressive pets.
Should I bring my dog’s food?
Please do. A sudden change of diet can upset the stomach and cause loose stool. We do keep food on hand for a small extra charge if you need it.
Can you give my dog medication?
Absolutely. Bring each medication in its original container with the name and dose instructions. Pets on 3 or more medications have a $5 per day extra-care charge.
How often do the dogs go outside?
Dogs are let outside every 2 hours, and when the weather is good they can go in and out of their indoor/outdoor run as they please.
