We are small enough to keep daily, personal, and individual watchful eye over and monitor the well-being of your pet closely. However, we are large enough to offer all of the professional courtesies of the largest pet accommodation facilities, we can assure you that your pet will be medicated according to your instructions. This includes vitamins, heartworm preventative, or medications for more serious medical problems. We will not board sick animals with contagious diseases. Veterinarian facilities are designed to board sick animals.

Diamond Brook Kennel has had the pleasure of grooming client dogs for 28 years. ur head groomer and co-owner Barbara has overseen this task during this period.  Our grooming motto has been "Don't ask us to do 1/2 of the job".  This is how we have kept our reputation of professionalism.

We have always been known for grooming of all breeds. Recently we have limited grooming of some of the extra large breeds. Many breeds require styling.  Dogs such as poodles and terriers require an artistic touch.  This requires skilled practice, and an artistic eye.  We do not groom dogs that have exceptionally poor temperaments. 

For most double coated breeds, we believe the "hard way is the best way".  Hand combing is the best way to remove dead hair.  Many operations only use a blow drier (air) for removing dead undercoats.  This is not complete. 
Primarily the grooming includes 4 steps:
1.  Coat preparation (brushing, combing, pre-clipping
2.  Nail clipping and ear cleaning
3.  Anal checking, prebath, rinse, finish bath, rinse, blow dry 
4.  Final brushing and/or styling

Behavior Consultation:
Behavior consultations and analyses are availableby appointment. These include a thorough interview with recommendations. The cost of the consultation is $40.00 per hour.

Special Diets:
If your pet requires one of the Prescription Diets, such as K/D, I/D, H/D, etc., we can provide these diets at cost. However, advance notice of a minimum of one week must be given. Diamond Brook normally provides excellent dietary foods made by outstanding manufacturers noted for stress diets. There is no charge if you bring your animals food. Our kennel has refrigeration facilities for food which requires refrigeration
