A mask, a cane and a frantic dog: Inside the final hours of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa – USA TODAY

I just have to share how amazing Glencadia Dog Camp has been for my dog, Cocoa! For years now, I’ve been sending him there, and honestly, it’s been such a relief as a busy working professional in NYC. I can’t tell you how much peace of mind I get knowing Cocoa is in such good hands. The prices are super reasonable, especially considering how happy and healthy Cocoa is when he comes back home. It’s like he’s had a mini vacation, and I love seeing him so excited after a stay at camp. But the real stars of the show are the staff. They’re so kind and genuinely care about the dogs. Phil and all the dog handlers are incredibly communicative and responsive. I feel like I can always reach out if I have questions or just want to check in on Cocoa, and they’re always there to support me if I have a change in plans. Thank you, Glencadia Dog Camp, for being such a fantastic place for cocoa. You guys are truly the best! I can’t recommend you enough to other dog owners looking for a loving environment for their dogs.

Fantastic! We have a very high energy dog who desperately needs mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. When we drop him off at The Glencadia Dog Camp for vacation, not only do we know he’s safe, but he will have an amazing time with all the other dogs while we’re gone. We know this because he doesn’t look back when he leaves and looks disappointed to have to come home haha. We pay a little extra for the gourmet meals and add a nail clipping for $20 which is 100% worth it! Though the initial $40 reservation fee can be a bit steep if you are leaving town for only a day or two, that one time fee spread out over multiple days averages to about that of a kennel. The grounds are beautiful and we love telling everyone about the great “dog resort” we found in Kinderhook, NY!

My wife and I have been sending our lab-husky to Glencadia for boarding for over a year now, and we have been so, so happy with our experiences to date. The facility boasts big open spaces for play and socializing, and their grooming and care services have been excellent. Health-check updates and playtime photos are frequent and plentiful, for which we are hugely grateful. As importantly, from pick-up to drop-off and every step in-between, the Glencadia team has been fantastic. Professional, friendly, and very responsive. Our pup is always excited for her visits and has always come home healthy and happy. Based on my experiences, I would highly recommend them to any dog owner looking for a first-rate boarding option.

My dog has been LOVING it at Glencadia. I'm delighted to see all the fun photos that get uploaded every day. This is her second time back, and we've already booked her for a month long stay in the next few months. The wellness checks where the dogs get weighed and checked for scratches, ticks, and overall health are reassuring to read. The Glencadia team makes sure the dogs are in tip top shape. The photos of the dogs sitting on the bench after the wellness checks are fun to see as well. Their faces are always beaming! I was worried the first time I sent my dog because I adopted her when she had severe separation anxiety. Training wasn't getting anywhere as she was attached only to me. I think she learned to self soothe at camp being around other dogs and being in a safe environment. When she got back, her separation anxiety training went so much more smoothly!

I have sent my pup to Glencadia twice and he will be going again in a few weeks! Each time he comes back absolutely exhausted and - let me tell you - it is very hard to tire out a working Spaniel! My pup is a very social creature who would not do well in a typical boarding kennel where he's crated alone at night so the social boarding at Glencadia is perfect for him. I honestly love Glencadia - their vibes, their ethos, their very regular communication. I have no hesitation recommending them to friends and trust them with the care of my pup. Also, I upgraded to the fancy meal for my pup's last stay and he came back with ~~perfect~~ poops, so it was a no brainer for me to sign up for their meal service too. It's about the same price as the Farmer's Dog so I figured why not? I'd rather support a local business that takes amazing care my boy! Overall 10/10 - super happy with Glencadia!
