Miz J Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Have used Penfield for my boxers and was really happy with the care they received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wire Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thanks Miz, in the process of speaking with them. Has been suggest to try Oakwood Kennels in Mylor by Topspot. They're not answering phone at the moment but obviously because it's feeding time! Will advise on results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wire Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oakwood fully booked also. The woman sounded very nice and caring on the phone. Anotherone to keep in mind. They only board up to 15 dogs at a time which I like. Off to Meadows Boarding Kennels this morning. They have the space, just want to have a look around.

Robbi Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 :rolleyes: Topspot Kennels are where my guys board and I cant praise it highly enough Up until this year I had 4 dogs, all with special needs in one way or another -medication, jackets, seperation issues and extreme old age......lol They were all very well cared for and the lady was happy for me to ring regularly for updates.They came home healthy, happy and clean. I do always have to book well ahead though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casowner Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) To be honest you generally hear the negative about a business, rather than positives that is human nature. I am glad that you enjoy your job and that you are happy, I will not go into what I have heard as that is not appropriate for this forum. As long as you care for the dogs, theirs and their owners needs are met and that you maintain hygeinic conditions that is what is important. I personally will only recommend places that I or those close to me have had positive experiences with. I have read your posts on the other thread, I do have one question though. That dog was obviously sent with his own food but you fed it your own, had you checked with the records or asked the owner if that dog had special dietary requirements? Please do not think I am being harsh but things like that are very important in my opinion. I hope that you continue your passion and make the dogs in your care as healthy and happy as you possibly can Edited January 15, 2010 by casowner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you continue your passion and make the dogs in your care as healthy and happy as you possibly can Interesting they say they fed him his food, because the same amount came back as what I gave - give or take half a cup. and given the recommendations state 3-4 cups a day for this size, that seems a little odd. If anyone is curious, none of my concerns have been attended to by the person who works there who has become a DOL member in the last 24 hours. I'm not doubting her love for animals and that she gives her best efforts to her job, I'm just saying none of my concerns have been addressed.
