“The staff were so friendly and he was clearly fussed over and well looked after. He came home smelling and feeling absolutely lovely after his grooming too!”
“They already knew contraindications of medication and knew how to administer it carefully. When she was picked up she tried to run back in as she must have enjoyed herself there that much.”
“I was very worried as they had never been left and one of my dogs is very anxious. They both came out great and my anxious dog seemed much better around people and loved the staff and made a big fuss of them.”
“Great boarding kennel. Use these every year. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. My dog was looked after great whilst on holiday and any messages you send them they reply very quickly.”
“Our 2 dogs seem to think they are on holiday when we take them in. Staff are so welcoming .”
“Good communication, helpful and friendly team. Both of our dogs were very well looked after. We got updates when we asked for those. Our rescue GSD has not stayed in kennels before and was absolutely fine!”
