PLEASE NOTE: Due to the changing laws and demands of operating a "small" business in California, we no longer feel we can continue to keep Oxton Kennels open and operating in a fashion that we feel provides the services our customers have grown accustomed to. The current employment climate in California has made our ability to secure both full and part-time kennel help next to impossible while the overhead costs of providing the animals what they need increased due to vendors attempting to recover their losses from COVID19. Meeting the many demands of both the state and the increased overhead costs would have required charging our customers prices that we do not feel are reasonable or that we would feel comfortable charging therefore we will unfortunately be forced to closed this business as of August 31st, 2021. We will be open and providing our normal pet boarding services until then.

We are truly saddened by this event as Oxton Kennels has been in business since the 60's in Salinas, evolving several times to meet the challenging demands and expectations of the pet boarding industry. We are currently seeking anyone interested in possibly purchasing this business in the hope of keeping this historical business available to the Monterey county communities. Interested parties should contact Charlie @ (831) 809-2919
