About Our Boarding Kennels

We like to say that when your dog comes to us, it is on holiday too. We encourage you to view our facilities and meet the staff to put your mind at ease before making a booking. This way you can be confident you are leaving your dog in safe hands.

We offer a variety of accommodation to cater for your dog’s individual needs. We strongly believe in offering a personalised service for every dog and that starts with the accommodation in which they stay. We have standard kennels and ones with runs attached however with six different blocks the ambience between each area is varied. We have a specialised geriatric block for our older friends who may require a more chilled atmosphere and extra specialised attention.

We also have apartments to provide a utility room, home from home, feel for your dog. These are individually heated and more isolated than some of the other areas, ideal for those dogs who become anxious around other dogs or prefer a quieter life. In the summer we open up our spacious summer chalets with a field view. We have met all the requirements to be rated 5 stars by Darlington Borough Council.
