Exercise & Play in Boarding Kennels

Dog Walks at the Boarding Kennels

We provide toys and balls for your dogs to play with during their exercise times.

During the summer we have a hard shell paddling pool which we encourage them to use by placing balls and toys in it for the dogs to play with.

We let the dogs decide on the type of exercise they want whether its a sniff and wander or a bit of ruff play, to a good chase around.

Caring for Dogs

Care of Easy-going & Steady Dogs

Our Kennel building is split up into 3 different areas. This helps keep the noise and disturbance to the dogs down.

The sleep areas have a solid partition so your dog can relax and sleep without being looked upon by other dogs.

The dogs enjoy lazing outside in their outside runs which are large and spacious.


Care of Active Dogs

Since we opened in 2006 we have increased the times we exercise the dogs.

When we first opened they were let out of the kennel three times  a day, now we have increased it to 4 times a day. We have noticed that they are much happier and are ready to settle for a rest after a good play.

Our dogs are taken out for an individual walk along the golf course/ disused railway enbankment that runs past the kennels, extra time is given to dogs who need a longer walk.

We also allow them an individual free playtime with a member of staff. Where they can chase balls/ frisbees etc.

Plus 2 other exercise periods.

We use kongs stuffed with food and treats to keep the dogs happy during the day.

Everyday the dogs also get enrichment time, using Puzzle games and Lickimats etc. 


Care of Daycare/creche Dogs

Not at the moment due to the restrictions of Covid 19

Services

At the Rhyddings your dog is our number one priority.

We offer a free Trial morning to our new customers.  This is especially useful for first time boarders. We like the dogs to come in for a morning so we can introduce the kennel routine and staff to your dog.

Most importantly they know you are coming back for them.

We find this helps the dog to settle better when you leave them for your holiday because they do not worry that they have been left.

We don`t make a charge for this as we feel the benefits to you and your dog are priceless!!!

Becca and Kate our Qualified groomers offer a full groom or just a bath and a brushout.

We look for the best canine products around and primarily focus on natural and healthy dog  food. Providing advice and information to our customers on what is best for their  companion, we have a large growing following of loyal customers who only want the best for their pets.

We stock and sell Natural Instinct, Orijen and Acana plus other raw meats and bones.

We also have Natural treats which are 100% Natural with no added chemicals or colours.

A HOME FROM HOME!!
by Maggie Gill, West Yorkshire

A HOME FROM HOME!!

At the Rhyddings you can guarantee that your pet will have the best holiday too!


We were so worried about putting our pampered little puss into a cattery because she is such a timid little cat.

Last year I searched for the ‘best’ and Pepsi had her first summer holiday at the Rhyddings Pet Hotel and it was like home from home for her.

When we picked her up she was a very, very happy and content little kitty and not in the least bit stressed.

Recently we couldn’t get Pepsi into the Rhyddings, our own fault for leaving it too late so we had to go elsewhere and it was a bad experience for her, she was very stressed and very, very nervous when we picked her up and it took a few days before she was calm again!

It is evident that The Rhyddings cater to ALL your pet’s particular needs and that you pets are truly looked after as if they were their own. We wouldn't go anywhere else!


It is the perfect place for our little girl!

Many thanks Jo, Chris And Stefanie!!

Great Kennels
by Phil Bland, West Yorkshire

Great Kennels

Our looney rescued 6yr old Jack Russell, Rooney, has been a regular boarder at the Rhyddings over the last two years. No one could describe Rooney as an easy dog - he is a ball of fire !. However Chris, Steph and the team have taken the time to get to know how to handle him and he always comes home happy and contented & in great condition. Not something we could say about other kennels we have tried.

It means a lot to us to know that we have found a place that we can leave him in where we know that he will be well looked after & cared for. No hesitation at all in recommending The Rhyddings to anyone.

Best Choice For Kennels By Far!
by Abe Avdiyovski, West Yorkshire

Best Choice For Kennels By Far!

Following a couple of bad experiences with other kennels we were recommended to try The Rhyddings. It was the best decision we could have made. Going away on holiday is tough enough anyway when you have a family pet, however Jo & her team have made it much easier. Our Hungarian Vizsla Diego comes back in fantastic condition and is always well looked after. They treat him like he is one of their own! I don't write many of these but felt it was important to  recommend The Rhyddings as they do a fantastic job. Keep up the good work!
