Kennel in Bedford

“We had decided to go on holiday a bit last minute and because the dates changed, our usual kennels didn't have availability. We have two large dogs, both rescues and one of them is a bit reactive until he gets to know you and also doesn't like other dogs. I'd sent some web requests for availability (explaining about my dog's behaviour and that we were his 3rd and final home) because it was late at night so I couldn't ring. The next day I had a response from Rebecca at Sunrise Kennels saying they had availability but also inviting us to view the kennels beforehand. We did so and were greeted by Honor, who introduced herself and told us about the kennels and gave us a tour including the lovely big field where they dogs are walked. There are heated beds and the dogs could share a kennel which was great. She also said feeding them separately wouldn't be a problem as one is a grazer so the other would have his food too! On the day, our reactive dog went off with the kennel staff and didn't even look back! I managed a week before I emailed asking how they were doing and Rebecca said my reactive dog had come out of his shell and had become very playful and both were enjoying cuddles. When we picked them up, they kept running back to Jess for pets and she also let us know that they'd been fed and walked that day. For us, it was important to find a kennel that cared and would take the time to get to know our reactive dog. Even though it was a 3 hour round trip for us, it was well worth finding a kennel that we felt happy with so I'd definitely recommend Sunrise Boarding Kennels to anyone looking for a kennel. They also have a cattery.”
