Old Mesilla Kennels

This place has taken care of both our dogs since we moved to Cruces. Marilyn and her staff are so wonderful. Even when we had two experiences with skunks they managed to handle the extra trouble.I don't think Marilyn is taking new clients and we get a full year of baths and nails scheduled just to make sure we can get in. But when you are this good at what you do, it's expected.

I have been using the grooming portion of Old Mesilla Kennel for about two years. The staff have also been friendly and upbeat. Ms. Marilyn is Awesome. God has given her an ability to work with and reach not only my dog but other canine pets.My Dog loves his visits to the groomer and, he is able to tolerate his nails being clipped and filed. Something he has always hated in the past. I give Mesilla a woohoo vote because they have really been good to me and my pet!!!

I started bringing my Black Lab here for week-long visits sometime in 2015. He has been back about 5 times. I would say he likes it, because he actually runs into the building without even saying goodbye.I know he loves the play yard because I live in a mobile home and he doesn't get much outside time.

Have used this kennel for our canine family mascot twice. I must say if my dog could talk, she would say "please don't take me back there! " One cannot really tell what goes on while you pet is kept here but if the staff and management attitude is a reflection of the service then that's all I've got to go by. If having your concerns ignored and getting hung-up on by the MANAGER while on a call, then this place is for you! I took my pet to a different place, last minute before our vacation. My dog was definitely a much happy dog after the kennel change. To be fair, I won't mention our new preference of kennel but it has a very similar name..... Adding my positive review there now.

I have used Old Mesilla Kennel since I moved to Las Cruces 10 years ago. We had a new puppy and had to leave town for an emergency. They were the only kennel that would take our puppy. They kept her in the grooming area. I have since then lost my heeler, but adopted a rescue older poodle mix and Marilyn has been wonderful in taking care of our older lady. Even during COVID they took dogs from your car and delivered them back to the car. I happen to know that Marilyn and Nick have been working very hard and remodeled most of the kennel and grooming area. Marilyn treats every dog as they were her own puppy.
