We know where the BEST and LUXURY boarding kennels & dog hotels are...
... because we design & advise on starting, building & improving kennels.
We (Kay & David Key) publish & author the 'bibles' on kennel and cattery design.
Because we design kennels & help people build them correctly, we know up to 3 years in advance of a fabulous new kennels opening, and guide people from thinking about it, to opening or relaunching.
The typical standard of kennels is pretty low. I expect you've visited a few yourself and been horrified!
There ARE wonderfully caring kennels who want to create a lovely place for dogs to stay... and it is these people I will introduce you to.
Every day I talk to people going to great lengths and expense to build or upgrade their kennels - researching the best designs and discovering how to make kennels a more fun, and less stressful place for dogs to be.

Caring, quality kennels do exist
(and we're helping get more built right now!)
and they truly deserve your
custom
Help us stop kennels keeping dogs in BAD conditions...
... if you use dreadful, stressful, old kennels you're part of the problem - and the only thing keeping these businesses going with such low standards. Oh yes, & the reason they are so cheap? - no heating or ventilation, low grade food, unhygienic and unmaintained facilities and so on.
How many kennel websites have you seen with big, clear PHOTOS?
Have
you searched for kennels and wondered why it's so rare to find any
with lots of photos? or any closeups? or any photos at all?
Dreadful, old kennels would have to be 'barking' to show you their photos on a website - either their own or ours. They won't be attracted here, where we focus on quality & caring boarding kennels.
Dreadful boarding kennels won't stop until customers stop coming.

Great kennels will be PROUD of their facilities
& will want to show
them off.
Dreadful ones will hide as
much as possible,
& may not even allow you to see the kennels.

A really big thank you for taking the time to search for better standard of kennels for your dog. I'd much rather get you on the right track now - and help your dog avoid depression, stress and illness (and a vet's bill or worse) - and instead bond with the carers and have fun playing and staying in calm, relaxed style.
