Happy Hounds!
Some feedback below from some of the owners of 'Happy Hounds' who have been on holiday with us and some of their 'holiday snaps'.
We have throughly enjoyed looking after every one of them!
******************************
Bailey

Thanks for taking such good care of Bailey whilst we were on holiday she appeared to be right at home on the video - lying on top of your clean washing - one of her favourite places! We were very pleased with the care and attention given to her and the lovely walks you took her on. It makes such a difference to know she was well looked after and we can enjoy our holiday without worrying. We hopefully be in touch soon with our dates for next year. Thanks
Katharine, Lyle, Rory, Tom and Bailey.

Tod & Tilly

Thank you so much for taking great care of Tod and Tilly. They obviously had a great time, when I came to collect them they looked so at home and were really relaxed and happy. (I loved the photo of Tod lying on his back in the sun!) I went away on holiday knowing my 2 lovely dogs were going to be well looked after and they were. A great big hug and lick from Tod and Tilly, and will be in touch very soon to book they're next holiday with you.
Thank you so much

Minook
We were so worried about leaving our pampered pooch Minook but we knew he was in safe hands.
Minook had such a wonderful time, and this was evident upon our return that he hadnt really missed us as he was happily playing away. His holiday snaps from 'Hounds on Holiday' were wonderful to see as it showed all the fun he had and all the great places he went exploring to. A massive thanks for showing Michael and I that we can go away and know we have nothing to worry about as Minook is in first class care. Roll on Mexico next year, a great holiday for us and a wonderful holiday for Minook at 'Hounds on Holiday' :)

Oscar
Faced with the dilemma of finding a nice 'Home' for our 6 month old ball of fluff called Oscar while we were on holiday, we were thrilled to come across 'Hounds on Holiday'. We immediately felt at ease and knew Oscar was in good hands would have a fantastic time, especially as it gave him the
opportunity to mix with other dogs in such a friendly and relaxed environment. It was obvious when we returned that he'd barely noticed we'd gone as he'd had such a great time, which is so reassuring as it's never easy to leave your pet behind. Needless to say, next time we go on holiday Susan wouldn't trust her 'baby' with anyone else!

Oscar
After much searching we found 'Hounds On Holiday' and went for a visit. We felt as Oscar was just a puppy he would benefit stayng in a home from home environment and that is exactly what 'Hounds On Holiday' offers. When we left Oscar we knew he was going to be very happy!! Oscar came home the same bubbly puppy we
left, tired from all his long walks, we even got a DVD of Oscar which showed him playing happily with friends that he made, a very nice momento. I will definately be using 'Hounds on Holiday' again and I wouldnt hesitate to reccommend them to my friends.
Many Thanks

Sonny
Our dog Sonny has just spent a week with these fantastic people, we were a bit worried about leaving
him as he is only 6 months, but he had the time of his life, please if your going on holiday I highly recommend using hounds on holiday, you can go away knowing that your pet is in safe loving hands, we would not use anyone else and he will definately stay again. Thank you so much

Indie & Ollie

What can I say!! We have NEVER gone anywhere & left Indie & Ollie. How were we going to find a place that would be like their own home! .....then we found `Hounds on Holiday’! From my first conversation I knew they were the ones to look after them. We said goodbye (Yes, we were all upset), but were reassured they would be fine. They kept me updated then all flights were cancelled! “Don’t worry” they said, “they’ll still be here when you get back! 5 days late we arrived to collect them. They looked at home, happy & well looked after! They made new friends & had some fantastic walks. We can’t express enough how grateful we are for the care & attention you gave to our pups. We would strongly recommend you to all dog owners. Indie (Duchess) & Ollie will definitely be back!!

Brady & Charlie
Thank you so much for looking after the girls I can only but imagine what a manic household you have had due to the flight cancellations! I'm glad they behaved but I find it very hard to believe! You are now full time
babysitter when I'm away! Its been great knowing the girls are well looked after by a dog lover and not locked in a kennel.I would be honoured to have the girls on the website!I shall recommend you to all!

Bessie

Just to say thanks to you both for looking after Bessie, it was very much appreciated. I wish you every success with your "hounds on holiday" I'm sure you must be thinking of expanding at some point!We can not get away very often due to our line of work, so it was nice to get a break without worrying that Bessie was safe and happy, so thanks once again
Best Wishes

Dino & Poppy

I am amazed at how well they look following they stay. Not that I ever doubted your care, it's just they were very 'poor do-ers' when I left them in kennels and had previously came back very anxious and followed us about for days on their return. They look so fit and healthy and not anxious at all when they've
came home this time. I will definitely be hoping you have space for us in the future and I'd have no hesitation in recommending you!

Jasmine & Poppy
Just picked up my 2 girls. They stayed while we went up to Gretna for our sons wedding. The photos speak volumes, they came back very calm and relaxed. They have had such a good time I don`t think they missed us one bit.
We have just booked in with Hounds-on-holiday again. I would highly recommend this type of stay much better than any kennels Home from home for the dogs..
Thanks

Brindi

This was the first time that Brindi has stayed away from home. We were rather anxious about it, but there was nothing to worry about. We would have no hesitation in recommending 'Hounds on Holiday' to others, she had a great holiday
and we will definitely be using 'Hounds on 'Holiday in the future.
Many thanks

Molly
We can highly recommend hounds on holiday to any caring dog owner.
I think Molly had a great holiday with you. She had such a great time that we had to give Molly a little tug on her lead to remind her which way home was. Its a fantastic home away from home for any dog.

Millie & Gismo
Millie and Gismo went to stay whilst I went to London for a few days. I was very worried about leaving them, Mary and her husband were lovely and welcoming to my "babies",the only worry I had was would they be naughty or not want to come back with me! I text to see if they were ok, "good as gold" was the reply, so I was able to enjoy my break in peace.
I returned to see two happy well cared for dogs, they were a bit "naughty", but they took it in there stride, It is clear that they are dog lovers. They obviously were walked well as when I take then out now they are keen to go far.................
I am pleased that I found Hounds on holiday!, I can go on my two week holiday in September now happy that they will be well loved and cared for!!
Thank you
Claire, Cramlington

Gypsy

It was so great to receive regular emails with photos and video. Gypsy clearly had an amazing holiday and made a few new friends to boot!! It was so important to me to be able to go away knowing that my beloved pet was with a loving family, getting lots of exercise and cuddles!
Thanks!

Archie
Hounds on holiday have been fantastic with our Basset Hound Archie, the dogs are treated as members of the family just as they are at home and it's been a great peace of mind to know he's been so well looked after. Archie is always very happy, well walked and well loved after his visits and looks forward to the next trip. The flexibility has also been brilliant for myself and my partner.
I can't recommend Hounds on Holiday enough - one look at Archie in his pics you can see how comfortable and at home he makes himself!

Ozzie & Megan
I wanted to thank you again for looking after Ozzie & Megan so well. The DVD of photos is wonderful. You have captured their characteres beautifully. I didn't have many of them which makes them even more special. Ozzie & Megan wanted to send you their own message below. We look forward to seeing you in 2010!
Pam, Washington, Tyne & Wear.
"Our Mum needed a holiday coz she's not bin well but had no one to look after us and wouldn't put us in one of those khennal places. She found 'Hounds on Holiday' on tinternet and we went to visit before hour holiday so it wasn't strange for us. We were sad to see Mum go but we had lots of fuss, love and attention during the week and lots of walks (we were really spoilt but don't tell Mum!) We were please to see Mum looking really well when she got back and don't mind if she goes away again if we can have our holiday with 'Hounds on Holiday' We had a grrrate time!
Thank you!

Taz

Hounds on Holiday were very accommodating towards our dog Taz. It was obvious when I picked him up that he very much enjoyed his stay there as he appeared very happy and content. In fact, I think he would have been very happy to stay there! The environment was relaxed and conducive to allowing the initial transition for the dog as stress-free as possible. I hope to use Hounds on Holiday many times in the future in the knowledge that Taz will be very well looked after. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone else.
Thanks again,
Giles, Prudhoe, Northumberland.

Diesel
“We are delighted to have found “Hounds on Holiday!” which enables us to go away with total peace of mind. Knowing that our Labrador will be cared for as if he was at home is a huge relief. The most important thing for us is that he is not shut away which causes him a great deal of stress.
It genuinely is a holiday for the dog as opposed to a stay in solitary confinement! We would give Hounds on Holiday a highly recommended!”
Jonathan and Linda Ogg (and Diesel!) Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.

Meg & Poppy

I just wanted thank you for looking after Meg and Poppy last week, I do believe they had a great time and were in the huff for a day or so when they came home....they liked their holiday as much as we did ours.We went away secure in the knowledge that they were being well looked after and your feedback during the week was great. We are happy for you to use the photos you took on your website and would be happy to recommend or speak to any potential clients if a reference is required.
Thanks again, and we now look forward to rebooking next year!!!

Jackson & Charlie
"Jackson and Charlie are great, running around fighting and making far too
much noise as per usual. We would highly recommend you both to other dog owners. We have used many kennels in the past but have never picked up our boys looking so happy and reluctant to leave. You gave us complete peace of mind leaving Jackson and Charlie knowing that they would be cared for by genuine dog lovers who would treat them as their own. "
