Kennels

A quiet Kennels is a sign of happy and content dogs

At Silver Birch we are all about quality of care and not quantity of pets. With only 17 kennels of various sizes to accommodate all breeds or families, that have been designed with the dogs’ welfare in mind. We are able to provide exactly what the dogs need to feel loved and at home.

Our Kennels are designed for the dogs to see the outside and to watch our staff and other guests at play. This means that when the dogs are left to sleep and have their own quiet time, they are able to do so. Dogs love to sleep, especially during the day and at Silver Birch, fun and play time are usually followed by nap time.

How many Kennels are laid out with a central corridor and all of the dogs facing each other? This alone is enough to send most dogs into a barking frenzy which leads to so much stress and absolutely no rest.

Would your dog bark at home if another strange dog was barking at him through a fence less than a metre away?

The answer is probably yes. So why would you want to leave them at a kennels where the noise even for 5 minutes is totally unnecessary and incredibly stressful for your pet.

We at Silver Birch care about the dogs and we work very hard every day to make sure that every visitor to our Kennels is treated as an individual.

To this day we have remained a small family business and have no intention of increasing our capacity. We want to spend time getting to know your pets and share the joy and love they give us.

If you want a friendly caring experience for your four legged friend, then come and meet the guys at Silver Birch.

We have a Basset Hound with a nervous demeanor and aggressive tendencies, so a kennel stay can be stressful for all parties involved – our dog, the kennel staff, and my husband and me. I tried multiple kennels in the Cambridgeshire area, each for a short test period, and all of them were nightmarish experiences. That’s why I was delighted to discover Silver Birch! Dean and his staff have been nothing but patient with our dog, going above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. Now, instead of attacking them, our dog loves to hang out with the kennel staff … it’s nothing short of a miracle! Although it is almost an hour drive each way to drop off or pick up our dog, it is well worth the extra time. Our dog is never stressed out when I pick him up, and we are not stressed out about leaving him, which means we can enjoy our vacation knowing he is in good hands. Because of our wonderful experience, I would recommend Silver Birch to anyone. Carmen Coker and Tux the Basset, Cambridge
