What People Say...
I have three elderly dogs, all 14 years old. They have specific needs and I wouldn’t feel safe leaving them anywhere else. They love staying with Rachel at Vita Canis dog boarding kennels! And they have been staying there for years when we are going on holiday.
I know they always get the best care and plenty of fuss. I get daily updates on how are they doing and what they have been up to.
