My Best Friend in Northern Ireland Received this great review in October 2019…
“A friend recommended Kieran and his family to us after hearing about bad experiences We have had at other kennels. There was a year or so where we just refused to go on holiday as our dog is very nervous in new places. It started getting to a stage were family just couldn’t take care of him anymore and we needed to find alternative boarding. We reached out to Kieran and laid out all our concerns. I’m sure anyone else would have been exasperated with the long list or would have thought they would be better off without offering their services to us, this was not the case with Kieran. He phoned me straight away to discuss them and I instantly felt at ease. We had several trial runs including a mini stay during the day so Cleo could get used to the surroundings before we left him for a holiday. The updates we received and the lengthy feedback on his progress was incredible and I’m not completely ignorant to the fact my dog can be a handful in some cases and I truly appreciated Kieran’s honestly in all aspects of his care. So much so that we are working to retrain Cleo on an issue we didn’t realise he had before his home boarding. That’s how much we love him being there. I could not recommend My Best Friend enough and Kieran and his family took such good care of our dog. The photos of him watching tv with his son were particularly entertaining! Excellent home boarding!” – Gabrielle
My Best Friend in West Oxfordshire received this great review in August 2019…
“Bitzer had her first stay at My Best Friend Dog Care in August for 1 week. Jon gave me a few updates on how she was settling in and a photo which was lovely. She went on a couple of walks every day and was with lot of other dogs which I am sure she loved. Would definitely recommend and use them again. Thank you for looking after her so well.” – Emma
