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 booked our two dogs into Silver Birch a couple of times now and have been really happy with their care. It is never easy leaving your dogs with someone else to look after but Dean (the owner) put our minds at ease and made our experience of using a Kennels a very pleasant one. We had the chance to see where our dogs would be and settle them in with their belongings which is really reassuring for both the dogs and owners. The care and time that the staff spend with the animals is excellent. They cater for individuals needs, diets and routines and actually spend time playing with the animals which is something that our dogs really enjoy. After leaving our dogs at the kennels for a week when we picked them up they were as happy to see Dean as they were us! As you enter the Kennels it is really quiet this is something that I had never experienced before from a kennels, because the dogs are content they are quiet and are not barking. The kennels are very clean with nice beds off the floor. We take blankets for our dogs so that they have their own scent for a bit of comfort. When we pick our dogs up they look happy, healthy, bright eyed and have a glossy clean feeling coat. I would recommend this establishment to anyone that owns a dog or cat. Thanks Dean for a friendly and professional service we will be back soon once we have booked our next holiday! Sally Lee, Cambridgeshire
