Dunston Lodge Boarding Kennels

"Great place and great staff, I get sent photo updates while I'm away which is above and beyond any other kennels I've used in the past, My dog is a large breed 60kg dog which takes some feeding and always comes out of Dunston Lodge happy and spotlessly clean after a full groom which is included in the price. Wouldn't take mine anywhere else."

"I left my dog at Dunston Lodge in 2018 whilst I went on holiday. When I returned from holiday I was told that my dog had had a heart attack whilst on a walk and had died. When I left my dog at the kennels she was perfectly healthy and so this was a massive shock to me. The kennels did not contact me at any point to make me aware of this even though they were left with emergency contact numbers. The kennels still made us pay for her full booked time at the kennels even though she apparently died 1 week in. The kennels sent me to Sheffield to get my dogs ashes where I was told by the vets that I couldn’t have my dogs ashes because Dunston kennels had not paid any of their vet bills. It was a very traumatic experience from start to finish. I do not recommend Dunston Kennels and advise everyone to avoid at all costs."

"Our fox’s came out even though washed still wet and stinking of urine, the long haired we have had to wash three times to get the smell of urine from her but her feet, underbelly and tail are still stained as she is white/blonde colour. I was going to ring and complain but just didn’t want the hassle of the phone call as I know I would’ve got attitude back. I took my dogs in clean I expected them back the same and they are both very clingy I don’t even think they went out for walks."

"I would like to say thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog Daisy while we have been away for the last fortnight. She was so happy when we got her home and looked so clean after her bath before her return. Our previous kennels couldn’t accommodate us this time. You are now our first choice for future."
