Hi,

Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonably priced solution for dog caring? We are looking for 4 weeks period.

Thx in advance!

Would absolutely 100% recommend Best Dog Kennels in Garristown. They are exceptional and although our fella is a giant sensitive soul and gets all whimpery when we even touch a bag to pack, he gets visibly exited going up there. Even gave him a small grooming for us while we were away the last time and very happy every time he comes back.

Had him previously a few times in *unnamed* kennels in Swords (I'm sure a lot of people will know which ones) and he was a shell of himself coming back. Would skulk back into the house and go out to the utility and lie there. Wouldn't even eat. Two notable incidents - Came to pick him up once and he had developed an untreated hotspot on his forehead that was pouring blood from obviously rubbing obsessively against his cage. I suspect he wasn't brought out whatsoever over his week long stay and the very last time we used them, he was absolutely covered in his own faeces. And I mean covered. Never again.

I'd recommend Deutsche Kennels in Garristown. My dog runs off with the guy wagging her tail madly and I don't get a second look!

Thank you, will ask both places for a quote. I hope they do discounts for long stays.
