Garden of Dogs plans new kennel with local veterinary partnerships

The Village Board Meeting on March 17, 2025, highlighted significant developments regarding a new dog kennel, "Garden of Dogs," which aims to enhance pet care services in Brown Deer. The proposal includes careful planning to ensure fire safety and adequate space for the animals, with kennels strategically placed away from high-traffic areas.

A key aspect of the discussion centered on the kennel's commitment to animal health and safety. The operator emphasized the importance of establishing partnerships with local veterinarians to ensure that all dogs meet vaccination requirements, including rabies and distemper. This proactive approach aims to prevent the spread of viruses and maintain a healthy environment for the pets.

The operator, who has eight years of experience as a professional dog walker, shared insights into their background and the operational plans for the kennel. Although this will be their first kennel operation, they have managed numerous dogs and built strong relationships with pet owners in the community.

Board members expressed support for the project, noting its strategic location and minimal impact on neighboring properties. The operator's experience and commitment to animal welfare were also positively received, suggesting a promising future for the "Garden of Dogs."

As the project moves forward, the community can expect enhanced pet care options that prioritize safety and health, reflecting the Village's commitment to supporting local businesses and improving services for residents.
