About Our Durham, NH Kennel

At Great Bay Kennel, our mission is to provide your pet with a nurturing, healthy and happy environment during their stay with us.

Veterinary owned/Veterinary managed.

Great Bay Kennel was originally built in 1993 by Geoff and Jaki Sawyer. Well known residents of the Durham NH area, they quickly earned a solid reputation for providing quality pet care in the Seacoast. Doctor Jim and Carla McKiernan, owners of Great Bay Animal Hospital located next door, purchased GBK from the Sawyers in May of 2014 with a mission to continue the Sawyers legacy. Since under new ownership, the Kennel has undergone extensive renovations and a brand new Dog Daycare facility has been built, all with the idea in mind of creating a "pet campus" and providing the happiest, healthiest and safest environment we can for our furry family members.

My oldest dog has been coming here for 5+ years, and I have a pup that started here a year ago. We have been very happy with the day care and the kennel services at GB. The staff knows our dogs well, takes good care of them and tells us if they notice anything amiss. Our dogs love it here and we know they are safe and having a great time! ( and a tired-out dog is a good dog!)
