Regularly use these kennels for my dogs for both long and short stays, the dogs are always delighted to get there and the staff are friendly and knowledgable and always remember the quirks of my individual dogs. Would strongly recommend.

I have used these kennels for over 8 years, I have found the care of my dogs and service offered is excellent.
