Kennel Connection

Kennel Connection is a profoundly historic, intensely powerful, and heavily adopted software that has literally defined the pet boarding industry for over two decades. While Gingr represents the new generation of pure-cloud startups, Kennel Connection is the battle-tested, heavy-duty Windows-based engine (now offering a cloud version) that runs thousands of massive rural and legacy kennels globally. The absolute core superpower of Kennel Connection is its "Unshakeable Desktop Reliability and Extreme Customization." Many massive, 200-run kennels are located in rural areas where cloud internet is highly unreliable. Kennel Connection can run locally on a server in the back room, ensuring the massive facility never grinds to a halt if the internet goes down. Furthermore, because it has been developed for 20 years, its feature set is staggeringly deep. Because it refuses to force rural businesses onto the cloud, offers one-time purchase options (in addition to SaaS), and provides unparalleled, heavy-duty operational stability, it remains a massive powerhouse for legacy pet boarding facilities.
