Can you visit the kennels prior to a booking?

We actively encourage new customers to come and see our kennels and cattery but we have made visiting time between 2 and 4pm any day of the week and you can call in you do not need an appointment.

Although some people would like to call in a morning we are very busy during that time with feeding/cleaning and our daily routines here and also accepting the morning arrivals and we simply do not have the time to discuss your requirements but we are ready to chat after lunch when all the animals have settled down for a snooze.

For health and safety reasons We do not allow anyone in the kennels under 16. Please call for more details 0161 941 5999.
