Kennelwood Pet Resorts is an organization that proves people make all the difference. It doesn’t matter the size of the corporation, the number of employees or the amount of funds or resources available.  It is how you “treat” your customer.

Recently, we adopted a puppy and happily named her Messi after the talented soccer player Lionel Messi.  Personally, I agreed to name her Messi because I knew I was in for a mess!  With a new puppy in the house came the need for dog training.  Many of our friends recommended Kennelwood Pet Resorts and with a location right around the corner in Chesterfield, so we gave it a try.

After talking with the trainer Kim Hyde on the phone, I felt reasonably comfortable that little puppy dog would be in good hands.  To my surprise, on Messi’s first day of training she was wagging her tail to Kim’s happy squeaks as she welcome her to “school.”  Each staff member greeted us with a smile and ensured me she would be taken care of.  They were correct.  Messi returned the following four days wagging her tail each time.  It was obvious the staff generally cared and enjoyed what they did.

Several days later I receive a call inviting Messi to a complimentary four hour puppy play date that included a bath and squeaky toy!  One thing we’ve learned about this pooch is that she loves to socialize and when offered a free day to play… who wouldn’t?

A little teary-eyed leaving our baby one week later for a vacation, we incorporated several play dates and treats throughout the weekend and arranged for another week of training with Kim while we were away.  Once again, Messi ran to the entrance wagging her tail.  It was obvious she was excited and we could leave for vacation with peace-of-mind.

I write this blog post not only because of our positive experience up until this point but what happened during our vacation. Kim is an amazing trainer but she also knows how to provide exceptional service and go the extra mile.  Throughout the week, I received several text messages with photos and video updating us on Messi’s progress.  My family had the satisfaction their beloved puppy was being taken care of and the security knowing at the end of the week our baby would’ve learned all the important commands to keep her safe and make our lives easier.

Arriving home a little earlier than expected, I sent Kim a text asking if we could pick Messi up early and have her skip that last day of training.  “Not a problem,” she responded, and the next day we received a text an hour earlier than our scheduled time indicating she was ready.  When we arrived, our baby was smiling, smelling sweet and showing off her pink polished nails.  She was wearing a pretty gingham bandanna around her neck and a little bow on her behind.  Picture all of this on a 33 lb. black Lab/German-Shepherd mix.  Quite adorable and totally out-of-character.

We left Kim and the staff of Kennelwood Pet Resorts knowing we would return and that they have our loyalty.  Our experience has been 100% positive, which I indicated in the follow-up survey I received a few days later.  Since our visit, Kim has sent several text messages to check on Messi and insure we continue the training.  Yesterday I received a call inviting Messi to another complimentary play date.  Of course she’ll be there!

Investing in the right people to nurture a culture that incorporates relevant, meaningful customer touch points will drive loyalty and success.

We would like to thank you for trusting Kennelwood over the years to care for your furry family members!  Since 1974, when Donald Danforth opened our doors, we have been building a pet loving family consisting of pets, pet parents, and Kennelwood staff members.   Each pet and pet parent is very special to us and it is because of you that Kennelwood has been able to grow and evolve over 38 years.  Thank you for your loyal business!

Watching the company grow has been extremely rewarding.  From adding new services, such as SHED-X_® Treatments and DayCamp in 1994, to adding new locations such as Grooming by Kennelwood inside the Humane Society of Missouri this year.  Even the new programs we have implemented over the years, most recently to note our Puppy Play Date program. We owe a big thank you  to our clients who are so loyal.” says Alan Jones, President of Kennelwood Pet Resorts.

Check out some exciting ways Kennelwood has grown over the last 38 years.

1974: The first Kennelwood location opens it’s doors. Kennelwood Village was opened in 1974, by Donald Danforth, Jr. He recognized an unfulfilled need in the pet care industry for a full service pet center offering boarding, grooming, training, and unique pet supplies. Pet owners could now leave their companions knowing they would receive the highest level of care and attention. Mr. Danforth’s vision was on the mark. Kennelwood Pet Resorts has been a success from the start.

1976: Kennelwood was one of the first locations in the country to begin training puppies as early as 7 weeks old with puppy socialization. Most training programs throughout the country started puppy training at 6 months of age. Kennelwood was aware of the new knowledge of dog behavior and with that we were one of the only puppy training classes available in St. Louis for a period of time.

1978: Kennelwood saw a need to provide the animals in our care a form of daily exercise and stimulation. The concept of play school was a monumental step in the evolution of the pet industry. Kennelwood was the first kennel in St. Louis to offer this cutting edge service to boarding clients. Play School was a designated area on the kennel grounds that was outfitted with toys, balls, playground equipment and walking paths. We observed pets enjoyed their vacations much more because of this new service.

1980: What an idea…A charity-raising event for dogs, cats and their parents to have a chance to see Santa Claus and enjoy a photo as a souvenir of their visit. Kennelwood was the first of it’s kind offering a Santa photo opportunity for pets and their parents.

1985: Kennelwood has been the exclusive dealer of Invisible Fence Brand for the St. Louis Metropolitan Market since November of 1985. We knew their was a need in St. Louis for pet boundary training and we found the perfect solution with Invisible Fence Brand products.

1987: Kennelwood opens it’s second location in Chesterfield, MO. Kennelwood decided to open a location in Chesterfield to provide convenience to our client base in the area. This location included services such as grooming, boarding, and pet supplies.

1988: Kennelwood opens a new location in South County, MO. We decided to open this location as we saw a growth opportunity to service South County resident pets. This location began offering grooming, boarding and pet supplies.

1994: SHED-X was created in a Kennelwood staff meeting by simply asking employees what is the number one frustration with pet ownership? We determined that pet hair was the number one problem and there SHED-X was born. SHED-X was received very well by the St. Louis market. SHED-X is Kennelwood’s shedding solution.

1994: Kennelwood was the first in St. Louis to discover DayCamp and offer it to St. Louis pet owners. The idea of dogs playing together was a newly accepted concept at the time we launched our DayCamp program. With the advancements in veterinary medicine, dogs could now have access to vaccinations allowing dogs to enjoy playing together safely. DayCamp is a great service because not only does it benefit dogs, but also pet parents. Dogs get to enjoy the stimulation and exercise of playing with other dogs and pet parents enjoy a happy tired pet.

1995: Kennelwood opens it’s fourth location in St. Peters, MO. This area was flourishing and growing at this time and Kennelwood wanted to be part of the fast growing St. Charles County. This location began offering grooming, boarding and pet supplies.

1995: Yappy Hour and Cat Nip Tea Time were created as an afternoon tea party concept. We wanted to interact with pets in the afternoon giving them an opportunity to enjoy an afternoon snack. Today, pets are still enjoying the scrumptious Yappy Hour and Cat Nip TeaTime treats when visiting us for boarding, grooming, DayCamp and/or Training.

2003: Kennelwood opens the Mason Lane location in Ballwin, MO. With St. Peters being such a sucess story, we wanted to build another facility modeled after St. Peters. We found the perfect spot to grow our business in Ballwin, MO. This facility was built as an all-suite luxury facility which represents the evolution of the pet boarding industry.

2005: Kennelwood opens a new location in O’Fallon, MO. We opened this location as a spa only location offering all of the pet pampering amenities of a full-services pet spa.

2011: Kennelwood opens new facility in O’Fallon, IL. This unique partnership presented an opportunity for Kennelwood to open a spa inside a veterinary hospital. This location offers grooming and training services. We are thrilled to service the pets of O’Fallon, IL.

2012: Kennelwood opens a spa only location inside of the Humane Society of Missouri. Now your pet can help homeless animals when getting groomed at Grooming by Kennelwood. Grooming by Kennelwood and the Humane Society of Missouri will share in grooming center proceeds.
