More Than a Place to Sleep
From the moment you drop off to the moment you pick up, every detail is handled — as well as some add-ons to complement their stay. No nickel-and-diming on the essentials — this is what’s included with every boarding reservation.
Healthy Pet Program
Automatically included with every stay — not an add-on or opt-in. Every guest is assessed each night and day they’re with us, and it helps cover eligible veterinary expenses — up to $500 per incident, up to $1,000 per year — if your pet becomes ill or injured during their stay.
Professional Supervision
Trained Karnik University–certified staff on-site throughout the day, every day. After hours, your dog is cared for and accounted for before our team leaves, and our facility is protected by state-of-the-art security and fire alarm systems that alert both our staff and the fire department around the clock — plus a camera system our team can check remotely, anytime.
Spotless Facility
Hospital-grade cleaning protocols throughout. The suites, runs, and play areas are cleaned and sanitized daily.
Bedding Provided
Cozy lamb’s wool bedding in Classic Suites, a Kuranda raised cot in Deluxe Suites, and a premium raised bed in Luxury Suites — comfort at every tier.
Daily Exercise
Every dog gets scheduled potty walks daily. Exactly how much activity — from the essentials all the way up to non-stop action — depends on the add-ons and packages you choose for your pet’s stay.
Add-On Services
Activity packages, one-on-one playtimes, spa & grooming treatments, Kong treats, and enrichment toys — optional paid extras (not included in your base rate) available to make any stay even more special.
Animal Planet On TV
Luxury Suites feature a flat screen TV with Animal Planet playing — a calming, familiar background for your dog.
Peace of Mind
Luxury Karnik Kams included in every Luxury Suite. Call us anytime — our team is always here for updates.
Watch Your Dog Anytime with Karnik Kams
Every Luxury Suite comes with its own private camera — the Karnik Kam. Check in on your dog from your phone, tablet, or laptop, day or night, wherever you are in the world. No app download required.
It’s one of the most-loved features at Karnik On Black, and one of the biggest reasons families choose the Luxury Suite. Seeing your dog napping comfortably or chasing friends around the yard while you’re at work or on vacation — that’s real peace of mind.
- Private camera for each Luxury Suite
- Accessible 24/7 from any device, any location
- No app required — simple link access
- Share the link with family and friends
- Included at no extra charge with Luxury Suites
Camera transparency doesn’t stop at the Luxury Suites — we run cameras throughout our daycare play areas and common spaces too, so our team (and you) can always see what’s happening.

50+ Years of Trust
Northwest Ohio families have trusted us since 1973 — for good reason.
“We’ve been boarding here for 10+ years. Every single time, our dogs come home happy and healthy. The Luxury Suite cameras are incredible — we check in from vacation and it makes such a difference knowing exactly how they’re doing.”
“The facility is spotless, the staff genuinely loves animals, and the suites are nicer than some hotels I’ve stayed in. My golden retriever practically runs inside when we arrive. This is the only place we’ll trust with her.”
“My anxious rescue has never done well anywhere else. Karnik’s team took the time to learn his quirks, kept me updated throughout his stay, and sent him home calm and content. I cannot say enough good things about this place.”
