About Us
We offer the best care available for your dog!
KT Dog Ranch and Kennel is an all-inclusive dog getaway on the beautiful prairie lands of Katy, Texas.
We sit on 20 acres of lush grass, which allows the dogs plenty of space to run and play. Our unique kennels provide each dog with its own indoor/outdoor experience: a climate-controlled cabin and a private outdoor area with shade for those hot Texas days.
Our mission is to provide your pet with a safe, fun, relaxing environment that you can trust. We are devoted to this mission and hold our staff to a strict code of conduct that values honesty, reliability, and kindness. Your dog will be treated with affection and great care.
FAQ’s
How does your pricing work?
Similar to a hotel, you will be charged for the number of nights your dog stays with us. Mon-Fri check out is before 11am and check in is after 1pm. Early check in or late check out will result in a fee of $15/dog. This does not apply Saturday and Sunday as we have limited hours. We accept all major credit cards. We do not take cash or checks.
What happens if there is a hurricane or severe weather?
During Hurricane season (June to November), we will require you to provide an emergency contact person who can pick up and care for your dog.
In the event of severe weather, dogs will be safe and secured in their indoor cabin, with staff monitoring the weather and the dogs.
What happens if my dog becomes sick or gets injured?
At KT Dog Ranch and Kennel, communication is paramount. We take the well-being of your pet very seriously. If your dog requires medical attention, we will immediately notify your emergency contact. If this person is unreachable, we will ensure emergency veterinary attention to the dog at the owner’s expense.

We only allow healthy, vaccinated, and flea-free dogs to board with us. Each pet’s vaccination records will be required before their first visit and updated annually.

Bring medication for your dog if they need it, this should be labeled with the dog’s name and dosage instructions. You may also bring a blanket, and bite sized snacks.
Can my unfixed dog board overnight?
We do not allow unaltered females over the age of 6 months. If you have an intact male, they can board overnight but they will not participate in group play. They will instead have private one on one time with our techs or play with siblings. We can also schedule a private nature walk of our 20 acre facility for an additional cost.

The boarding dogs will get out twice a day for play time. They will have a morning and an afternoon session, the time varies based on the dog, the weather, etc. Each dog will be in their cabin during the lunch hours to allow ample time to rest and nap. We monitor every dog and rotate them for rest time if more is needed.

No, our doggie doors are opened around 7:00 am and locked at dusk. We want to make sure that all of our guests are safely tucked into their lodging at bedtime.
