My pitt bull was kept there a few days til I could relocate to a steady place . When I went to pick him up , I was told he is on medication . When I asked why he was on medication , I was informed that my pitt bull , Harley was neutered without my consent . I left my boy out the kennel , & put him in the car & left . This place is a joke ... I wouldn't let them watch a stuffed animal ..

If you want a place to dump your pet in a cage and leave them and that’s it- this is the place for you.I took my Great Dane puppy here for 2 overnights- She came home acting fine, other than the fact that she immediately drank THREE BOWLS of water and scarfed down 2 bowls of food. Never in her life has she done this.If it was the case that she would not eat there- they should have told my husband when he picked her up! But she clearly had drank barely ANY water. Ny girl went 4 days without eating during a fake pregnancy and this is what she looked like- so I know she didn’t eat. I know it wasn’t the food because I sent OUR own special food for her.I should have known when every pic of a dog I’ve seen online from this place has empty bowls in with the dogs :(This place is Literally a doggy jail. A small area that they get locked in until you pick them up.I went here based off reviews and recommendations, but all recommendations are on the owner, and how he’s a good person etc. he was very short with me. Didn’t ask for any vaccination stuff, literally asked no questions at all. “Just here put your dog here” and that was it! For all he knew my dog had zero vaccinations and something that could have spread to all the dogs there. 🤦‍♀️

I have finally found the best groomer. No more trying place after place looking for a groomer to do a complete job, treat my 2 dogs nicely and do a fantastic job. Mark was fabulous on all counts and I won’t ever need to go anywhere else. Well worth the travel! Thank you Mark & Mark’s Dad!

If all you want is a place to dump your dog for the day, I guess this will work. The people were friendly but this is the most unprofessionally run kennel we’ve ever used, from Maine to Florida to the western US.Not even the bare minimum of information was requested from us. Vaccination history of our dog, contact info, phone number, not even his name. And I could tell my dog absolutely hated it. We found another place and drove 3 times as long the wrong direction just so he wouldn’t have to go there again, and they were fantastic from top to bottom, and cheaper on top.How this kennel has rated 4 stars is a so beyond me.The only positive thing I can really say is it has a good location.

My dogs were well cared for and safe. They were nice enough to squeeze in baths even though it was a last minute request. Dogs don't get playtime or walks so I wouldn't use for more than a night or two but they were happy and not stressed when I picked them up. Service was friendly. Kennels were a nice size with indoor outdoor access.

Very friendly, personal service. This is the only place in Centre County that I can get my dogs food, and they have stayed open a few extra minutes when I wasnt able to make it before closing. They've also mentioned, since I work with rescue dogs, that if I ever knew of anyone who couldn't afford dog or cat food that they would work with them. I've personally never had to take advantage of that offer, but I was very touched nonetheless.

The owner was very helpful and honest about questions I had about products. I felt like I was talking to a caring neighbor rather than a businessman. You can't walk in there expecting uniform service but you will receive sense that you purchased your pet supplies from someone who cares about the animals and not the money.He offered me a product for free to take home and see if it worked well for my newly adopted dog. I feel confident and sure about going there for any product and or questions.

This kennel is no frills facility, but the employees care and will keep your pet well during their stay. I personally had a scenario where my spouse was in the hospital, and the gentleman at Lyons allowed my friends to pick up my dogs and pay later instead of my friends paying on pick up. Good honest folks.

So we love our dogs like most dog owners and I have to say, if you absolutely care for your pets, then do not take them to this kennel. I pulled up and I instantly said this is not a good place. Unfortunately we were in a bind so I left my two dogs there. When we called, we were told that both dogs would have cots. The cots consist of a cheap piece of cloth on the floor. We were also told that each dog would have stainless steel bowls to eat and drink from. The water bowl is a 5 gallon bucket when I showed up. The kennel was not clean at all. Also, I went back to get my dogs the same day bc I could not bare to leave them there. When I went back, nobody was available so I walked straight into the kennel (nobody around) and leashed my dogs up without anyone noticing until I was just about in my vehicle. I never write reviews but this is one I felt compelled to write. I would never recommend this place to anyone for any reason.

2 years ago my wife and I went to Maine to look at the fall foliage. boarded my lab at lions kennel. came back home 5 days later and called the pick my dog up on a Monday. they advised me my dog hasn't been up in 3 days and I rushed down to the kennel to find my dog lying on concrete in is own urine and feces! swollen back legs! a cut over his eye! pus in his eye and a hole in his lip. could not hold his head up and maggots crawling all over him! my vet was 50 yd across the street at straly vet! they never called to advise me of this emergency, nothing! my wife and I were 5 hours out we coulda come home immediately. after putting my dog on a tarp and getting him across the street it took 3 bags of fluid for him to even open his eyes. at 3:30 in the afternoon we had to make the call to put the dog down because it was too debilitated! lions kennel refused to give me an explanation as to what happened to my dog and why he had all these injuries! I would not even give them one star I would give them -100 stars don't ever take your dog to Lyons kennel!

Boarded and had our dogs groomed there. Mr. Lyons generously takes in dogs that have been found and are waiting to be reunited with owners. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate.

I am often at Lyons to walk and socialize rescue beagles who board there before they get fostered or adopted. I am perpetually grateful for the kindness, clean accomodations and good care our dogs receive at Lyons.

I can say that Gerry is a compassionate person who truly cares about the animals in his care. He offered appreciated advice on how we can deal with a dog having an unexceptionable behavior. Gerry was also flexible with availability in our time of crisis.

This place is straight up disgusting. For the life of me I cannot figure out why my father chose time and again to leave our dog here. Every time we took our yellow lab to this kennel, he would come back smelly terrible, ridden with fleas, and have kennel cough. Just looking at the kennel area and walking through there is enough to make your stomach turn. Its so dirty and the areas for the dogs look like they haven't been cleaned in ages. My guess is it ended up being the absolute cheapest place, but you really pay for what you get.

I needed to board my dog last minute and this was the only kennel that had room. The owner was very unprofessional over the phone. The kennels were dirty and smelly. The run where my dog stayed had noticeable hair and dirt - it was obviously not cleaned after it's last occupant. As a pet owner and someone who worked at a kennel for 5+ years, I was horrified. I am surprised that they are still in business. I will not be using this kennel again, and I do not recommend it.

Mr Lyons cares about your pet. He's been around a long time. This is his livelihood. Ask for Peg and she'll answer your questions. We support local businesses, like this

This is the only place I buy dog food now. We buy a high performance dog food for my hunting dog and they have much better prices than I can even get online. They are also very nice to deal with and remember us everytime we stop in.

Long story short, we took our older, blind and deaf Jack Russell there and we voiced all our concerns and expectations to them but when our daughter picked him up his kennel was deplorable, his bedding that we took there with him was drenched and it is our belief that he was left to sleep on the cement floor.. Never again, I wouldn't kennel a mouse with them.
