Founder & Kennel Leader
For over 40 years, Mary Ellen has dedicated her life to the happiness, safety, and well-being of animals. As the compassionate leader of Beech Hill Kennels, her deep-rooted expertise spans every facet of professional pet care—including boarding, specialized training, competitive showing, and hands-on kennel management.
Ever since our small family kennel opened its doors in 1970, Mary Ellen has remained committed to a simple philosophy: treat every animal like family. Her profound understanding of pet behavior allows her to connect effortlessly with all types of personalities—whether they are playful pups, senior dogs needing a slower pace, or shy cats looking for a quiet corner.
Our mission is to give every pet a safe, calm, and loving place to stay. Our vision is to remain the trusted, family-style kennel that local pet parents happily rely on.
Beech Hill Kennels in Bensalem is a long-standing pet boarding and grooming business, founded in 1970. Vicki's 40-plus years with dogs, cats, training, and professional showing guide every stay.
We keep our kennel small so we can know every dog and cat by name, habits, and comfort level, including seniors and special-needs pets that rely on gentle handling and steady routines.
Our classic, cozy facility focuses on safety, cleanliness, and relaxed play, not flashy extras. We stay flexible with pick-up and drop-off by phone arrangement, and we welcome questions throughout the day.
