We have four kennel blocks with a maximum of 11 kennels per block which makes us a very quiet kennels, all are modern, fully insulated, heated, air conditioned and double glazed.

All of our kennels have indoor runs ensuring maximum comfort what ever the weather.

We are licensed with the Wyre Forest district council and exceed their licensing conditions.

BBK is run by Jo & Mark and their team of fully trained staff.

We are situated one and a half miles from Bewdley town centre, amongst open fields and woodlands on the Worcestershire Way.

Mondays to Saturdays 9.00 am to 6.00 pm.

Sundays 10.00 am to 4.00 pm.

Bank Holidays Closed for checking in and out.

Inspection visits are welcomed without an appointment during these times.

All of our staff are over the age of 18 and most have been working here for years.

Some started off as weekend girls and went on to be full time employees, others went to college to study animal related qualifications and then decided to work here with us. 

We have a minimum of three full time staff looking after the dogs and cats at any one time during our quieter times.

Our staff levels rise to six or more during our peak months of the year.

Because our staff have been with us so long they know each dog that comes to us, even if it's only once a year.......good for us and good for the dogs, it helps them settle in when they are amongst familiar trusted faces.

We have two groomers also that come to us from K9 Kuts in Kidderminster to spruce up our boarders ready for departure.

We are very proud of our staff, they are dedicated, hard working and above all animal crazy ..... they have to be, we work very long hours in all weather conditions !

We have kennels of various sizes in our four dog blocks to suit the smallest to the largest breed.

We also have a dedicated small breed block for the little guys that do not fancy mixing with the larger breeds.

We have three kennels that have their own private outside run which is in addition to their inside run, the extra space this gives the boarders makes our "Presidential Suites" very popular.

All of our kennel blocks are heated, insulated, double glazed and quarry tiled throughout,they all have inside runs which keeps them especially cosy in the Winter.

Our kennel blocks also have air conditioning for the hot Summer days.

We tailor time out to suit the particular dog, if one wants to play fetch or tug then we are happy to oblige; on the other hand, if others would rather chill out and relax under our parasols on a hot summers' day then that's fine also !

About dog walks/playtime with staff

You are welcome to bring your own pets' bedding, toys, treats, and even crates if you wish, we feel anything that you can bring from home to make them feel more at home can only be a good thing!

A change in diet can upset a dogs' stomach so we cater for special diets, if your dog has scrambled eggs for breakfast or chicken for tea, if you supply it we will cook it!

We do not charge for this service, in fact you will get a 5% reduction from our fees for supplying your dogs own food!

We have tried DAP therapy in the past and noticed little or no difference in behaviour of nervous or timid dogs or cats, but if you feel Dap therapy does some good for your pet please bring it along and we'll be happy to plug it in !

We want your pet to have an experience that is as close to home life as we can possibly provide.

We have some dogs that don't fancy chasing a ball or running round our paddocks, in fact it's an effort for some of them to get out of bed in the mornings !

If they fancy an amble on the grass and then a lie down under our parasols in the Summer then that's fine !

We try to tailor time out of the kennels to suit each boarder so they get the most from their stay.

We have plenty of exercise times in our paddocks and lots of toys here for active dogs, an absolute minimum of one hours play time per day spread out over three or four sessions even in our busiest periods.

When we are quieter they get a lot lot more!

We physically play and interact with the dogs if they want us to, or they get free reign over our grassed paddocks to burn off as much energy as they wish. We feel they get a much more rewarding boarding experience this way.

You are welcome to bring your dogs' favourite toys with you to keep them amused in the kennels.

Day boarders are welcome, they can stay for breakfast and dinner and have the exercise periods that our longer term boarders have, or just come in for a morning or afternoon session with us.

A lot of customers use our day boarding service to get a new dog, or an older dog that has not been kenneled before used to the kenneling experience before they depart for their main holiday of the year.

It's a good idea, your pet learns that Mum and Dad are indeed coming back and have not abandoned them, and they get used to us and our routines, it helps them settle in much quicker on future visits.

We will administer any prescription or non prescription medication including insulin injections to dogs and cats at no extra charge.

Individual diets and feeding regimes are catered for at no extra cost.

We have a dedicated small breed block which particularly suits nervous/ timid boarders that may not particularly enjoy being next to the larger breeds.

Heat lamps are available at an extra cost of 50p per day for added warmth.

Puppies are welcome as soon as they have completed their full course of initial inoculations and an additional kennel cough vaccination.

Our "Presidential Suites" particularly suit dogs that are used to free roam in the garden, first time boarders also relish the extra space as they get used to the kenneling routine.

We do not charge for exercise times, administering medication, preparation of special diets, bedtime biscuits washing of owners bedding etc, but for dogs we do have a special treat.

We have three kennels with their own private outside run, which is in addition to their inside quarters.

The dogs have access to this all day, as well as having their exercise periods in our grassed paddocks.

We call them our "Presidential Suites" for this extra we charge £6.00 per kennel per day.

Our kennels and catteries are heated to a standard that exceeds our licensing conditions, but for puppies, kittens, elderly, recuperating or infirm pets we have heat lamps which are available at a cost of £1 per day.
