Bradenton DogStars LLC at 5006 34th Avenue East, Bradenton, Florida.

Dog and cat boarding, doggie day care, grooming, obedience and agility classes, competition level dock diving pool and classes

According to Bradenton lore, the kennel called DogStars has been in existence for about 65 years. It is even mentioned in John McDonald’s famous Travis McGee series.

It started with a house in what was, then, the ‘country.’ That house is now home to their catterie and a new house was built on the property sometime in the 1990s.

Then came the main kennel with 30+ air-conditioned indoor/outdoor kennel runs. Next came a separate air-conditioned building just for little dogs.

Then came agility fields, a covered pavilion, and a competition-level dock-diving pool.

It still has that old Florida look and charm.

My dogs have come home every time looking beautiful. The staff are serious dog people. You've got to love them!
