If you aren't able to leave your pampered pooch with family or friends, finding a kennel for him or her to stay is an important part of your holiday planning. I visited several kennels before my vet recommended Five Star and none of them stacked up to the wonderful environment Paul and Tracey have at their home and kennels in Springwood.
Kennels makes it sound so drab and is almost the wrong way to describe their property. It's a pet resort. There's plenty of room for the dogs to roam and play with other dogs (they match them to a 'buddy' for the duration of their stay).
We were able to go and inspect the property before booking, and our dog has stayed with them twice now. He loves it. On his second stay there he raced to Paul as soon as we got him out of the car.
We pay a small fee on top of the daily rate for our pooch to stay inside the house with Paul and Tracey and it's worth each cent. He comes home happy as Larry. I also like that we can text them for quick updates on how he is doing while we're away. It really is a small peace of mind while you're away.
They have strict drop off and pick up times - which I respect - especially when you're orchestrating the number of four legged friends they are.
I would have no hesitation in sending any friends with dogs to Paul and Tracey at Five Star. read more
