What Fees Should I Expect to Pay for Extremely Good/Top End Boarding Kennels?

You should expect to pay these daily fees for EXTREMELY GOOD or TRUE HIGH-END LUXURY boarding kennels:

Country	Daily Boarding Kennels fees for the best, (highest standards, lower kennel numbers, more personal attention and care) boarding kennels or luxury dog hotels
UK	£15 - £50 daily
USA	$30 - $100 daily
Canada	$30 - $100 daily
You would also expect to pay the same per hour for a home-visiting petsitter

Remember the adage 'you get what you pay for' - and these photos shows you why.

Poor, badly designed, unheated/unventilated and unhygienic kennels will always be cheaper.
They will so busy with high numbers of dogs and cleaning lots of kennels that they simply cannot walk or play with the dogs - causing them even more stress as they cannot get away even for a short time.

With poor care, cheap fees & large numbers of dogs
you also get:
dog anxiety, stress and illness
- and probably a vet's bill

Sunny day (daylight floods in through roof). No artificial lighting required. Well designed, built, heated, ventilated & insulated means it's: cool in summer & warm in winter	Sunny day (sun from one window only) It is so dark that electric lights are required even on a sunny day. Imagine this in winter! Unhygienic, no heating/ventilation or insulation means it's baking hot in summer, freezing cold in winter (frozen water bowls, walls dripping with condensation)
