Our friendly and knowledgeable staff pays special attention to your pet's dietary and medicinal needs, in addition to their emotional and physical needs. The owners reside on the premises and there is a nightly bed check with treats for all. Music is piped through the facility
Bedding is provided by the kennel.
Feel free to bring your pet's regular food and a few favorite toys. Our kennel food is Earthborn Holistic Adult Vantage and is provided without charge if you'd like your pet to eat our food
In addition to their runs, dogs are given several visits each day to the fenced play yards with a Derbyfield staff member.
This provides some one-on-one time and additional exercise. In addition we can observe your pet and ensure all is going well during their stay. Dogs that are family members are exercised on the lawn together, if their owners wish. All other dogs are in their separate living areas, side by side with other compatible dogs

Derbyfield Playgroups
Play Groups in our fenced in training yard! No pre-registration necessary, drop-ins are welcome! The first time you attend a session, we ask that you bring a shot record showing your dog to be current on rabies and distemper
Socialize your pet Saturday afternoons and Thursday evenings in the play yard at Derbyfield Kennel.
The area is fenced grass with toys, agility equipment and lots of space to let your dog run and play. Give yourself and your dog a treat and let him play with other friendly dogs in a safe environment
All dogs welcome if they are social.
If you have a new pet and no experience with other dogs, we will evaluate your pet and determine if one of these groups is right for your dog
Play Groups are held every Saturday afternoon and Thursday night, weather permitting.
In the case of inclement weather, please call the kennel to see if the group will be held
Play is supervised, however all dog owners are required to remain in the yard with their dog during the sessions.

Professional Grooming Service for Dogs
Our two experienced professional groomers provide bathing, nails, clipping and grooming for most breeds. Pricing varies by breed and coat condition - please call the kennel at 508-432-2510 and we will be happy to assist you. Walk in nail clipping is provided for dogs Monday through Saturday, 10am to 3pm. Cat nails on Mondays and Saturdays, 10am to 3pm. We do not currently groom cats but will be happy to refer you to a local professional who does
It is difficult to leave your dog or other pet in someone else's care. We understand this at Derbyfield and continually strive to keep them safe, healthy and happy while they are with us. No one can replace you, but we make sure they still have fun and get the love and attention they are used to and deserve, while you are away.
