We make it QUICK & EASY
for you to find the BEST kennels for YOUR dog

The below pointers are shown for all kennels. Just flip through for advice as you go...

Less than 20 kennels per building Less than 20 kennels per building Less than 20 kennels per building

(yes/ no/ unknown)

Fewer kennels/dogs means less noise which means less stress. Caring dog owners will want to leave their pets in quieter kennels.

Also look at the total number of kennels: e.g, an exclusive business with up to 20 kennels will be much quieter than 100 kennels. (But 100 kennels in buildings of 20 kennels each will be quieter than one huge building of 100 kennels.

Comfort items Comfort items Comfort items
Comfort Items from home
(yes/ no/ unknown)

The provision of dog's own bedding, toys and chews from home, and something that smells of you will help your dogs to relax. Being from home, they will be familiar and smell of home, you and themselves, helping the dog to settle more quickly. We recommend you seek caring, well-staffed kennels who DO allow this - as the benefits to your dog's welfare are enormous.

Be aware that larger or busier businesses won't have time to manage this, lose items, or just not give them, and some dogs will chew or destroy items while away.

DAP Therapy for soothing & calmingDAP Therapy for soothing & calmingDAP Therapy for soothing & calming
DAP Therapy: soothing/calming
(yes/ no/ unknown)

Promotes the feeling of safety and reassurance for dogs via a simple spray or plug-in diffuser.
This ground-breaking therapy can be used wherever dog anxiety is caused (a real and debilitating condition for dogs. Check it's really being used - ask to see the plug-in or spray.

What is DAP Therapy?

A caring and knowledgeable kennel owner or dog owner will use DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheromone). It calms & reassures dogs & puppies in stressful situations such as leaving the owner, being alone at home, travel, going to the vets & kennels. DAP synthetically mimics natural pheromones that female dogs provide for their puppies, giving them a sense of well-being and reassurance.

Dogs are taken out of Kennels Dogs are taken out of KennelsDogs are taken out of Kennels
Dogs are taken out of Kennels
(yes/ no/ unknown)

The most basic, simple and free way of improving the wellbeing of boarded dogs is to simply get dogs out of the kennels. Confining dogs to kennels denies their right to 'be dogs' and express natural behaviours. Think how your dog would react to being confined at home for 2 weeks, never leaving the house - it causes a build up excess energy and pent-up frustration.

Why getting out of the kennels is SO important

It is important that dogs get out of kennels for play, exercise & walks with company whenever possible to reduce depression & stress. Away from the kennels dogs can be themselves, play with friends, have a chance for a run, stretch, sniff and play, and importantly, human company on a one-to-one basis.

Dogs are walkedDogs are walkedDogs are walked
Exercise/play/walks with Staff
(yes/ no/ unknown)

There is a world of difference between staff leaving your dog in a small boring exercise area on their own, and interacting with staff.

Dogs are sociable and love having company. Spending time with a member of staff they know (playing, stroking, grooming, walking) will have a big impact on the wellbeing of your dog.

Crown Award for Excellence in Boarding Kennels Crown Award

A kennels which has this icon listed has been awarded www.BoardingKennels.org's Crown Award for excellence. Highly commended.
Dog hotel or boarding kennel?

Is it really a 'Luxury Boarding Kennels' or a Dog Hotel - or not?

The use of words like ‘hotel’, ‘luxury’, ‘deluxe’ and even ’state-of-the-art’ are used by all kennels, even by appalling ones.

This makes life very confusing for dog owners looking for better kennels on the web. Not only do you have to look through a lot more websites - but just finding something that meets the highest standards can be time-consuming.

We make it easy for you to tell the difference for yourself - Dog Hotel or Boarding Kennels - how to tell the Difference.. FAST!.

Fees

Kennel Fees

Cheap fees come at a cost to your dog's wellbeing.

Cheap fees are always low for a reason.

It could be down to old buildings, no heating/ ventilation (causing extremes of hot and cold), not insulated (dripping with condensation, too hot or cold) cheap dog food, and most likely high numbers of dogs and not enough staff or time to care for them or walk them.

There will probably be a lack of interest by the kennel owner in the appearance of their business... after all, if they charge low fees they won't earn enough to pay for improvements and may 'bodge' kennel maintenance and safety issues. They may well be running the business into the ground until they come to sell.

Find out why you shouldn't just choose the cheapest or nearest kennels...

What to Look For

The Importance of Good Staff

Staff should be welcoming, interested in, and like animals! Dogs are social animals and fare best when kind, empathetic & professional staff care for them. Find kennels where staff are friendly, polite and interact easily with dogs & customers, and where there is sufficient staff to give individual care.

Good staff are expensive, especially if they are well trained, so expect to pay more for a better service - the cost won't be much more than the price of a cappuccino or two - but will make a HUGE difference to your dog's wellbeing. If you only see very young, inexperienced staff this indicates employment as cheaply as possible.

Kennel quality

Don't make the mistake of thinking all kennels are the same... we promise you they're not - no two kennels are ever the same!!

GOOD = Relaxed & Calm:
  • New & maintained
  • Light & bright
  • Hygienic (no smell)
  • Ventilation/heating
  • BIG sizes - Fewer kennels

BAD = Stressful & Noisy:

  • Old and unmaintained
  • Dark and dingy
  • Unhygienic (smelly)
  • No windows/ small windows
  • No heating in the kennel
  • Small sizes
  • Lots of kennels

Walks & Exercise

If the kennels claim to walk all able dogs, look at how long, and then do the sums to see if there are enough staff to make this possible. When you visit are dogs being walked/ exercised?

'Ambles' might be more suitable for elderly or special needs dogs - remember to tell them.

For quality walks and time playing with your dog - you really want to find a higher quality service with fewer kennels (20 or less) - and for a little more expense know your dog's wellbeing is important to the kennels. At such caring places, your dog will be out in the fresh air enjoying walks, just as they do at home. Learn more about how to tell the difference in kennel quality

Why comfort items are important

Providing your dog's own bedding, toys and chews, plus something you have worn & smells familiar, can help your dog to relax & settle in much faster.

Good kennels who care deeply about dog welfare will ALWAYS use the comfort items you provide - and will prompt you to bring them!

Kennels that are very busy and have high numbers will not usually allow your dog to bring comfort items. They do not have the staff numbers or time to manage, clean around or remember your dogs items.

Unknowledgeable or just plain uncaring kennels will leave your items unopened and unused - so there is nothing that will give dogs the comfort of their home or owners smell, so they take much longer to settle in, or don't settle well at all.

We all know what an amazing sense of smell dogs have - don't deprive them of such a simple, free comfort factor.

Special Needs & Care

Special care is needed for vulnerable dogs, such as puppies, elderly dogs, disabled dogs, dogs on medication, nervous/fearful dogs, or dogs with a high activity level. These dogs will need special care and will require extra time to ensure that all their needs are met.

You may be surprised to discover that different kennels specialise in different types of dogs.

Larger or very busy kennels may have a policy not to take on dogs with certain characteristics or requirements. This may be because their kennels are too stressful for dogs with special needs, it takes too much time, does not fit in with their core clientelle or policies etc.

It is particularly important to search carefully for the best kennels for your dog if they have special needs.

Why room types matter

Solid walls help provide a quieter, calmer atmosphere which will be more enjoyable to stay in. They make it easier for staff to attend to dogs one-on-one, giving them full attention. The walls should be at least 4ft/1.2m high - but full height walls provide the most privacy and reassurance.

Why kennel height is Important

Full height (6ft/2m) kennels are best because they make dogs feel more secure, more like a room at home AND it's easier for staff to clean the kennels thorougly if they don't have to bend.

Why runs should be attached

Attached exercise runs allow dogs freedom to move between sleep & toiletting/outside areas. Choices and views are much better for dog welfare and stress levels. Being able to look at a garden or wildlife is ideal. Avoid kennels where dogs can see into another run (e.g facing another row of runs in a building opposite). Facing lots of other dogs, or seeing dogs come and go, or get out is frustrating, stressful and therefore very noisy.

NEVER use kennels that force your dog to stay in one area for sleeping, eating and toileting (i.e the sleeping area only if there is no attached run). Being confined to just one area gives dogs no choice about where to be, what to look at, or to hide away if they want to.

Why runs should be covered

Covered runs protect exercise runs & dogs from bad weather (you don't want your dog to be in a constantly open or damp environment)

What to Avoid

The Golden Rule:
Go for no-smell!

Easy-to-clean modern materials that are also well maintained mean hygienic kennels with no smell at all. Go for lovely, easy to clean and well cared for kennels with no smell.

Avoid if it smells!

That's because any absorbent material (eg timber or unsealed concrete) soaks in all the dog wee. Don't subject your dog to the smell or lack of hygiene! If it smells... it's unhygienic!

Exercise/ walks/ time with staff

Many 'old style' kennels sadly don't walk or exercise the dogs with company, but just let them out into a concrete or paddock exercise area and leave them.

This isn't the same as having one-to-one time with humans, is less fun for your dog - but means cheaper kennel fees & not enough staff.

Getting out of the kennel

Avoid kennels who don't get dogs out of their kennel at all - they will lead to depression, stress and illness (and most probably a vet's bill, and enormous distress & guilt on your part!

Nose-to-nose contact

If dogs have nose-to-nose contact it puts them at greater risk of stress, damage and disease. You should avoid kennels where dogs can touch each other through open areas (e.g mesh between kennels instead of a solid wall) as this can result in injury & disease.

made your choice?

Trial Visit

We strongly recommend you visit prospective kennels to see if they really do match your expectations. Once you're happy you should try 1 or 2 days boarding before leaving your dog for longer periods. Please explore all the tips and advice we have to offer on this website and LEARN what to look at for yourself. Find out more about how to choose the BEST kennels for YOUR dog

Licensing

Sadly, having a kennels licence is no guarantee of quality. Do not think "it must be OK if it's licensed". We've seen kennels no better than derelict sheds licensed. Some counties may not have agreed to abide by the basic requirements, and some countries (such as Ireland) don't even license kennels.
Not found what you want?

More quality kennels to come

We help people start up new boarding kennels worldwide every day.

Dog owners who have a free account with us will get early notification of new, high standard kennels and dog hotels opening.

But until there are at least 3 good kennels in every county, we will make it easy for you to find the best kennels, even if they are further afield than you had originally planned.

Consider travelling further

Many dog owners are now travelling much greater distances to find the high standard of kennels they want. If you haven't found what you want locally, try looking in surrounding regions for good kennels.

We find this happens mostly with dog hotels and luxury kennels because they are so rare - their customers want the best for their dogs and are prepared to travel a few hundred miles.

Working pet parents

Daycare or dog creches will be suitable for owners who work long hours and don't have suitable pet sitters.

Holidaying pet parents

A new trend is for owners who want to go on holiday and have their dog near them, and to be able to take days together at dog-friendly places, allowing 'pet parents' evenings out and visits to non-doggy places too.

We have 15 Suites and we are licensed for anything up to dogs (maximum).

Built in 2007, they are of a Hotel Construction and are Full Height


Suites sizes available

Our suites are the largest and lightest in the country. The dogs have stunning views from their conservatory rooms, first to our tranquil garden with duck pond and wild birds and beyond to our donkey meadow, where they can watch with delight our 4 pet donkeys playing.

EXECUTIVE SUITES

12ft by 8ft Bedrooms with underfloor heating,plus a 12 ft by 14 ft Conservatory Room to watch the world go by in.

PENTHOUSE SUITES

10ft by 8ft Bedrooms and 10ft by 14ft Conservatory rooms.

CLUBHOUSE SUITES

All suites have underfloor heating on a vital 70/30 split to ensure that although the air temperature remains warm, the dogs have a cool spot to lay on if they choose.

All the suites have fantastic views to keep the dogs stimulated between their walks and play sessions. We would much rather the dogs had an ever changing view with exciting visual stimulation than use televisions in their suites.

There is background music playing throughout the day.

Less than 20 kennels per buildingWe're proud to say we have a maximum of 15 kennels in any one building.
(The ideal is a maximum of 20 kennels in a building, as the less dogs, the calmer & quieter it is)


About our Suites

We never found a boarding kennels that was good enough for our own precious dogs, which is where the idea was born to build one that we would be happy with.

Although our suites are the largest in the country, our aim was not to beat anyone else on size, just provide what we knew to be the right amount of space that our future guests would be happy in. Our suites comfortably house families of large dogs together. Our smaller guests rooms are usually filled with a variety of soft furnishings so that they don't look too lost, one couple arrived with 7 different beds for their little Westie who adored his holiday from start to finish.

There is nothing better than walking around at night and seeing the guests happy and settled and dreaming about the adventures tomorrow will bring.......

About dog exercise with our Dog Hotel:

We provide tailor-made activities to suit your dog so that they are happier, have lots of fun, with plenty of things to do and watch, and gentle or busy play times to suit their particular needs.

This is important so your dog will be more contented, more relaxed and so thorougly enjoy their stay with us.

With owners permission dogs are walked off lead in our securely fenced parkland. We will also mix sociable dogs (with owners permission) who love fun and games with other like minded individuals. We find that the dogs love having friends to play with when they are outside.

The dogs are all exercised 4 times a day, because of this they do not soil 'their space' inside as dogs are not intentionally dirty and we would much rather be ouside playing with your dog than inside clearing up mess! Additional activities include: tennis, frisbee & football (dog rules apply!) in outside exercise areas or in our playbarn.

Agility-fun course for all sizes and abilities, including large tunnel of tractor tyres known as The Warren!

Small hills made in the exercise areas for playing on, behind and around, or just to lay on top of to maximise the fantastic view!

Simply The Best!

“ We absolutely recommend Country Club. Rufus and Molly, our mini schnauzers have stayed several times and each time the care they have received has been marvelous.

The facilities at Canine Country Club are fantastic. The kennel suites are secure, clean, light, airy and warm - with both a bedroom area (with under floor heating) and a garden area (open to the outdoors) which is closed off at night. This means that dogs have a cosy retreat for relaxing but also enough space to play. The large grassy outdoor exercise areas are fully enclosed by secure fencing, so there’s plenty of opportunity for off lead exercise and playing.

Apart from the excellent facilities, what makes Canine Country Club so special is the individual care and attention that each dog is given. Tim, Jackie and Jenna take the time to learn about their guests and then tailor the care and activities to suit their personality and needs.

When we arrived both Rufus and Molly couldn’t wait to get out of the car and were soon running around as if they owned the place! Unfortunately, Rufus was taken ill during his stay this time and needed to see a vet. If it had happened anywhere else we would have been beside ourselves with worry. However, we were kept so well informed and we have such confidence that the team at Canine Country Club will always give the best of care and attention to Rufus and Molly that we were able to continue with our holiday. By the time we picked Rufus and Molly up a few days later both were in fine form – pleased to see us but clearly happy, healthy and well cared for!

I would have no hesitation in recommending Canine Country Club - we wouldn't leave our dogs anywhere else. ”

Maisie And Maud

“ I have 2 golden retreivers, the eldest is 12 and a 1/2 and the younger one is 2 and a 1/2. I have lived in North Devon for the past 5 years and up until 2 years ago had not really found a suitable kennel for our elderly dog.

The Canine Country Club has become the answer, Jackie and Tim are such caring people, and have a very good understanding of animals. Tim actually sat with Maisie for a few hours after she had had one of her fits, reassuring her, as we would do if she was at home. To me that speaks volumes about the owners of the kennels, of course they are business people but it is just so obvious that they are doing it because they love the job!

The dogs cant quite believe their luck when they are given a proper bed mattress to share, no such luck at home :) They get to run around and socialise with other like minded dogs within a safe but lovely environment.

When we arrive at the kennels I open the boot of the car and both dogs jump out and run to the gate to go into the kennels, for me it means I can go on holiday without feeling at all guilty! What a relief!

Fantastic Care For Our Diabetic Westie - Complete Trust

“ We have been going to the Canine Country Club for a while now and our Westie (Baxter) loves it to bits,as soon as we get there he recognizes Jackie and Tim ,and as soon as he sees them he is off and forgets all about us being there,we feel we are leaving Baxter with friends rather than at a Kennels because we are made to feel so at home.

Our little boy is diabetic so has to have insulin injections every day and a special diet so we know Jackie and Tim take it all in there stride and have no worries in administrating the medication to Baxter.

We live in Essex and take Baxter all the way to the Canine Country every year before we fly off on holiday then drive all the way back down when we come back ,that's how much we trust them .
