1) Took my dog to Guardian when we went for a week vacation. We had just gotten him from the humane society 2 weeks prior (unplanned). We came to pick him up; he crawled to us on his belly. His body was covered in feces. And, he acted abused. We tried for a few weeks to 'bring him back' but, never could. We ended up taking him back to the Humane Society and asked if they could find him a special home (we both worked a lot and he needed special attention and love). If not to call us. When I called a week later, they said they had to put him 'down'. He was beyond rehabilitation.2) Later that week, I saw someone hang a flyer of a German Shepperd that was 'lost' from Guardian Kennels. They said that the kennel stated he jumped through a window and escaped.3) My parents had the same experience with their dog. Crawled to them; timid; but then came to.4) Today, I saw a pup that had also come from there. Acting abused and broken; peeing in fear.Something is definitely wrong.

As the owner of Guardian Kennels for the last 12 years, I have not fired anyboby. I have not had any vet assistants working for me. We also do not stay here for lunch. Josh is my full time employee that has been here for over three years. We strive to be the best kennel in the Helena area. I am here for the animals. We pride ourselves in the quality care your animals get and the cleanliness of our facility. I am always trying to improve or do things better. I am not sure who wrote the review or if you even had the right business, but I do apologize if I upset you. I am not a bully. I always try to make everybody happy. We here at Guardian Kennels will continue to serve the pets of all of our fabulous customers.

I have been using Guardian Kennels for almost two years. My job frequently takes me out of town and the folks at Guardian Kennels are always more than happy to care for my dog while I am away. I initially chose the kennel because their rates were the most reasonable in the Helena area. I grew to love the kennel, however, because of the way my dog reacts when she goes there. Upon arrival, she immediately jumps out of my car, runs straight into their foyer and heads immediately to the door which leads into the actual kennel. I have dealt with several kennels in the time I've had my dog and I can safely say that Guardian Kennels is by far one of the best I have worked with. I have also read the review from the vet tech and disagree. There are two sides to every story... the only "side" of the story I need to see is the wagging tail of my dog when I take her there. The choice is that simple.

My dog absolutely loves his social time at Guardian Kennel. In fact when we take the MT City Exit our dog starts getting excited. He leaps from the car as soon as the car door is opened for him and runs inside wagging his tail. I never worry about him because obviously he loves Guardian. Thanks for taking such good care of my dog so I don't have to worry when I want to go on vacation.

Guardian Kennels is more than accommodating. Our dogs go on "Vacation" when we go on vacation. One has severe food allergies so we bring specialized food for them. She has come to Guardian with ear infections and they're more than happy to give her prescribed medications and follow our strict feeding guidelines. I absolutely love them! Our dogs are happy and excited to go and they get GREAT care.I read the other review and am saddened that the vet tech is badmouting Guardian. In my opinion if you come to the counter to help, you are on the clock and working. This person should have shown the CUSTOMER the respect they're due and spit out the candy before offering to help them. That is just a common courtesy. Hopefully nobody will take this Vet Tech seriously.

I will never use Guardian Kennels. I was a veterinary assistant and was very well liked in that position. However, I was fired because the owner of Guardian Kennels complained that she came to ask a question and I came to the counter with candy in my mouth. I was on my lunch break and not working the counter at the time. It was later deemed a wrongful termination by the state unemployment board. I tell everyone I know not to use Guardian Kennels because the owners believe that they can bully the common man and get their way in every regard.
