Where your dog feels at home!

Kip's White Dog Inn is located on a secluded and spacious 5 acre property.  The Inn is a live-on premise facility, allowing for round-the-clock care and supervision during your pet's stay.  The Inn may be a smaller facility compared to other kennels, but this allows us to provide personalized care and individual attention to your family member making their stay more enjoyable. 

The Inn has 17 indoor temperature-controlled kennels that each have their own access to an individualized outdoor run.  Radiant floor heating for comfort during colder months and air conditioning during warmer months.  All buildings have ceiling fans, windows for fresh air and exhaust fans that provide constant air circulation.  All kennels have insulated dog doors separating indoor/outdoor runs.  K9Grass artificial turf is located in three areas providing a clean and safe potty environment for your dog.  A large, outdoor fenced-in area is available to stretch their legs, exercise their sniffer or play ball!  Kuranda beds are available upon request offering orthopedic, off the ground support (no extra charge).  Calming music plays in each kennel building daily and nightly treats are provided.  Photo updates are sent upon request.

Many have asked about the story behind the name.  So here it is:   

Kip blessed our home & touched our lives for 32 months.  We all have stories of that "perfect" dog...and for us it was our Kip.  From early on, we knew he was special.  Flying through multiple training courses with ease and at the age of 1 year and 1 day, he became a certified Therapy Dog through Therapy Dogs International.  He routinely brightened the day for residents at senior living facilities, youth programs, hospitals and area schools.  He was a monthly guest at Huntington Place Senior Living where he visited with residents and had fabulous friends in the alzheimer’s wing who would smile ear to ear after his visits. In 2011, we lost him after a quick, but intense health battle.  He had the best care at UW Veterinary Hospital where they removed one of his lungs due to a mass growth.  During recovery, the vets referred to him as a "miracle dog" as he fought for his life & conquered the odds against what the vets called a very mysterious, possibly 'rare' form of cancer.  Unfortunately, the mass returned & at 2.5 years old his fight would end. He was our "perfect" dog and I have always known that one day, he would be honored.  The White Dog Inn is a nod to him & all of the "perfect" dogs in your homes.
