RECENT CUSTOMER COMMENTS:

 
“Your kennels, as I stated yesterday are the best in Shropshire and I like my boys to be well looked after so I will keep the booking form for future use” – Mrs Emery, Telford, July 2010
 
“I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for looking after Flora over the last few days.  We have moved recently to the area and it made life much easier with her in kennels. She came out looking fitter and certainly smelling better than when I dropped her off, so many thanks indeed!” - Mr Todd, September 2010

Rosie The Beagle's Second Home!
by Ronald Risbridger, Shropshire

Rosie The Beagle's Second Home!

Our three year old Beagle has been holidaying at Chetwyn Fir for some time. We would not use any other kennel locally. Rosie enjoys meeting up with fellow returning boarders ( including other Beagles!). We are always a little sad when taking Rosie to the kennel ( for family holidays abroad ), but she never looks back at uis, being taken off by Bonnie or Diane Who are young but clearly dedicated kennel maids.This is always reasuring for us. Rosie gets two walks a day here, very important for hounds who need to exercise! I have met the new owner Ryan who clearly has new ideas to improve the kennel which is needed in a few areas eg debit or credit cards.Finally after a long stay Rosie always comes back smelling nice after a bath. My wife calls it her Chanel bath! Ron Risbridger

  Kennels And Cattery
by David Johnson, West Midlands

Kennels And Cattery

Having used these kennels for a number of years I have always been most impressed by the dedication and politeness of the staff. While I can not speak on behalf of my dogs,they appeared to be well cared for and in good health on my return from holiday. The kennels are in a delightful setting and I am sure the dogs enjoy their walks in the adjacent woodland. David Johnson
