We have a one year old chihuahua girl and the person who was supposed to be looking after her whilst we go on holiday in May is no longer able to assist, so I'm tentatively looking at kennels:(
I've even looked at a woman who specialises in toy breeds and takes them into her home but charges £25 a day !
Can anyone recommend a really good kennels near North Beds (biggleswade ) ? We are half an hour from Cambridge, Peterborough, Bedford and Stevenage.
Connie is a very happy, well adjusted dog, but she is quite attached to us and I worry about leaving her in some cold concrete hell, so it must be a good kennel and I don't mind paying £20 a day for the right one.
Any recommendations ?
Thanks

Some kennels and dog boarding houses are really good, and they treat the dogs as if they were their own.
We normally have a relative to house sit but we had a massive family holiday that year. We won't be doing that again.
All kennels are not the same.
The places with the smaller number of pens are better as the dogs get more attention.
Very true! I hope you reported the abuse to your dog as they were not seperating toilet and relaxing areas.

How spooky. They are the kennels that I was posting about but the original couple who owned them are now retired.
I know Karen/Ryan the owner, been to the kennels, I would be happy to leave my dogs there and believe me I am very fussy.. the animals are treated like their own...Karen also has poms so she is well used to small dogs.
Has it changed hands again because I thought the couple who took it over from Ken were into Alsatians?
Yes they show and breed GSDs, but also have poms as well.
I'm not surprised if you make him stay in a kennel :eek::D
:D:D:D
I couldn't bear to put any of my dogs in kennels after reading some reports on various websites (and on here) about some conditions! :eek: I know they aren't all like it but some sound really awful and my dogs would hate it and I wouldn't enjoy my holiday so in-laws either come and stay here or we go somewhere we can take them!
Hi Meljduk,
our little scottie (Jasper) has stayed at Westlodge 3 times and he loves it!
Kennels and grounds are always spotless and staff are really friendly. Jasper always has a visit to their upstairs beauty parlour before we collect him.
Also easy access to M11.
I would definately recommend Westlodge.:)
