Boarding

When you need trusted overnight care for your dog or cat in Edgewater, MD, Beechnut Kennels delivers a boarding experience that is comfortable, attentive, and completely stress-free.

Every boarding dog stays in their own private, temperature-controlled suite with an attached outdoor run accessible by dog door (weather permitting). We handle feeding, medication administration, and daily treats, and your dog still gets 6+ hours of socialized play with our team each day. This is not a kennel where dogs sit in crates. It is a place where they genuinely enjoy their stay.

We also offer feline boarding in a separate, quiet building. Each cat gets their own two-story perch enclosure with natural light and plenty of space to move around.

Feeding & Health

Customized Feeding

Beechnut does require you to provide your own pet’s meals, and we will always feed according to your instructions up to 3 times a day. We will also monitor and record your pet’s intake and contact you if there are concerns about appetite.

Please pack food in pre-measured baggies for each meal to eliminate measuring errors.

We do have a refrigerator for perishable dog food.

Medication

We will administer medications to your pet if you provide the original medication container that has the medication name, dosage, and instructions on the label. Please be prepared to explain the purpose of the medication, duration of use, and inform us of any side effects that need to be monitored.

We will not accept responsibility for a pet that has life-sustaining medication, but we are happy to administer maintenance medications at no additional fee.
We do not administer insulin injections.

Health Check

We will review and record how each pet is doing on each morning of their stay. We will make adjustments to their schedule, feeding, and medications based on any changes or concerns. We always contact you with any concerns/questions and to keep you updated on your pet’s wellness. You can trust that we care.
