Kenneling in Valencia

Written by Donna Gray

Our pets and particularly our dogs are not just animals. They are our friends, companions and most importantly they are a crucial member of our family. So when it comes to putting them in kennels it often leaves us feeling anxious and slightly worried. Good kennels are either incredibly expensive or have a waiting list to match that of a Michelin star restaurant. But, we’re still left wondering ‘will they really look after her as well as I do’
With this in mind, Susan Sharp set about creating Howlers Kennels. Sue’s goal was to offer a professional service where dogs are kept in a safe, spacious and healthy environment, and Howlers does exactly that.
Safety first!
Sue doesn’t take her responsibility lightly. Her many years as a dog owner, breeder and successful competition winner have contributed to the exceptional standard of care.
Each kennel includes 6 sq m of internal space and 8 sq m of external run
Kennels are set away from any trees or shrubs harbouring insects that could harm the dogs
Mosquito netting covers each kennel
Brush protectors surround each kennel door
Beds and custom made mats are available in all sizes for every kennel
Each dog is walked individually in a 10,000 sq m field
Dogs are only invited to stay if their injections are in date (including kennel cough)
Dogs are not integrated with other dogs staying at the kennels to ensure a safe and happy environment for all
There are 15 kennels offering large interiors, individual runs as well as a 2,000 sq m compound. In addition there are 2 extra large ‘family’ kennels for 2 or more dogs whose owners don’t want them separated.
Home from home
Sue understands the importance of home comforts and consistency and will strive to continue routines while dogs stay at Howlers. She recommends that owners provide the food during the dogs stay to avoid a change to their diet and possible stomach upsets. However if required, Sue will provide dog food, specifically Diamond Nutragold Complete Holistic Formulas. Owners are also encouraged to bring the dog’s bedding and toys to the kennels to make the dog feel more at home.
Reductions apply for dogs sharing the ‘family’ kennels
So, now that I’ve found Howlers, I certainly wont be looking elsewhere. I can now go on holiday knowing that my beloved Sophie is in the safest of hands.....and to me, thats priceless!
Howlers is the type of kennel every dog wants to visit while their owners are away.
