HomeOpen your eyes
to where your dog stays
- Living beings, not toys
We asked some dog owners using good kennels (who had used dreadful ones in the past) just WHY they previously left their dogs somewhere with such obviously low standards…
They said they sent their husbands to the kennels because they couldn’t bear to see where their dog would be staying!!! They felt they had to close their eyes to where their dog was staying so they didn’t feel guilty while they were on holiday.
On collecting ill and depressed dogs on their return, they vowed to look for good kennels …and this website made it easy!
So, before you look at any kennels, it will help you to learn about the difference in standards. Even poor standard boarding kennels call themselves ‘luxury’ kennels to get your business. That’s why it’s important you can recognise the good and true luxury kennels for yourself. So let’s start now…
What a difference!
These below 2 boarding kennels are in the same county, licensed, and full of dogs boarding for up to 6 weeks:
GOOD = Relaxed & Calm

After having a stretch he comes over to say hello!
BRIGHT: lots of natural daylight (cheerful)
FREEDOM: attached run (choices & views)
FEWER KENNELS: quiet and calm
All of these things and more make a relaxed and calm atmosphere for the dogs, created by having fewer kennels/dogs, a design that minimises stress, and hygienic, high standard, well maintained conditions.
The easy-clean conditions means kennel owners can spend much more time with your dog one-to-one!
Kennels like this deserve your business - the investment of time, money and careful research demonstrates just how deeply the kennel owner cares about dog welfare.
Ready to play AGAIN !!!

and more attention from the kennel owner who they’ve bonded with!
Happy dogs will eat & play, stay well and have fun!
This kennel is 5-6ft wide and has an even bigger exercise area attached, bringing in more daylight, views of the wildlife & countryside.
BAD = Stressful & Noisy:

DARK: very little light (depressing)
CONFINED: no attached run (no views)
LOTS OF KENNELS: noisy and stressful
These things alone make kennels stressful for dogs, unhygienic/smelly conditions, and no fresh air result in depression, illness & ultimately disease. Well-heeled dog owners with 4 x 4 vehicles left their dogs here!
Kennel owners are often too busy cleaning & dealing with the large numbers of dogs to provide any one-to-one care.
Poor standard kennels like this can only keep in business because thanks to lazy dog owners who choose kennels just because they’re local, or the cheapest.
Get me out of here PLEASE!!!
This frightened dog is desperate for some human attention and distraction from the cramped, depressing and noisy conditions.
Stressed dogs won’t be able to eat or play, they get stomach upsets and become ill.
This kennel is just 2 feet wide (each of the 4 tiles at the back measure 6″ inches wide) with little light, nowhere to get away from the noise of other dogs, and no view.
Please take care with your decision on kennelsIt will affect your dog’s welfare ENORMOUSLY
Research and visit potential kennels. We’ll help you.
It is well worth spending a little more time & effort looking for the right kennels for your dog.
