Carter Kennels in Lakeside has operated as a sole proprietorship on the Winter Gardens Boulevard corridor since 1995, providing pet boarding, grooming, and feed sales to East County San Diego. The kennel handles dogs and cats under the same roof, pairing overnight stays with bathing and coat care in a workflow that complements veterinary checkups at Woodside Animal Hospital on Woodside Avenue. Hay, grain, and small-animal feed round out the product line, serving rabbit and horse owners across the Lakeside area around Lake Jennings and Barona Resort & Casino. The feed operation stocks bulk hay bales alongside packaged supplies, giving rural and semi-rural pet owners a single stop that parallels the fencing and enclosure materials at Payton Ace Hardware on Maine Avenue. The facility sits at 8755 Winter Gardens Boulevard, positioning it on the commercial strip that connects downtown Lakeside to the Santee border.
