Lily & Rosco say they loved Paws and Klaws when they rented out a field they had so so much fun esp Lily as she cannot be let off as her recall is so bad so she made the most of every second! Lily and Rosco absolutely recommend it as it’s enclosed and safe with fabric up so the dogs can’t see anything through the fence it has lots of agility equipment in it and water bowl and lots of tennis balls to chase they can’t plant it and will be returning as soon as possible they are both tired out and sleeping! (COLLIES)
If would come every day if I could ! Absolutely fantastic !!! I cannot recommend enough! I hired the pool and it was incredible. Spare towels, plenty of balls, shelter if needed, a net to get toys out of the water, a ladder for accessibility for humans and even doggy planks for them to get out of the water! Amazing quality for price ! We brought our 5 dogs for £20 and a 50 minute session. Alex was incredibly helpful too so thank you very much!! I’ve booked for next month already!
Though it’s been over a year, I still feel strongly about what happened during my dog’s stay, so I wanted to share my experience. I had booked my Giant Schnauzer into Paws and Claws for a three-week stay while I was due to travel to Australia. After just one day, however, I received a call from the kennel informing me that my dog had bitten a staff member’s finger, and they insisted I collect him immediately despite my travel plans. Their website promises that pets will be 'cuddled, stroked, warm, loved, played with, and kept in utmost comfort throughout their stay,' but in my case, it seemed they were unprepared to handle a breed like a Giant Schnauzer. My dog has a protective nature and can be anxious around unfamiliar people. I believe that, due to this lack of understanding, a staff member was bitten while trying to photograph him. If you have a dog with an anxious or protective temperament, I recommend seeking a kennel with experience handling similar breeds. This experience was both stressful and disappointing, and I would advise others to be cautious if they own dogs with similar needs.
Booked to use the secure field so my younger pup could have some off lead fun with my older dog. Great facilities, dogs had a blast and loved all the agility equipment.
Amazing place for you dog, we used their day care when we travelled to Yeovil, and we were welcome very warmly! It was a first for Snow, and she did not want to go back home! Very highly recommended!
Took my boy, and my friends dog to paws n klaws today, my first time not theirs. We had an absolute blast. The staff were so beyond kind and helpful. The dogs had the beat time and so did we the pool was the perfect temp aswell during the heat. We can't wait to come back 🙌 …
Jasper enjoys puppy play enormously and comes home exhausted. He has also made loads of friends. The staff are very friendly and happy to chat and help if any issues. Highly recommend 😁 …
What a setup and what an amazing bunch of people. Lulu LOVES doggy daycare. They pick her up drop her off and she has the best time with all her buddies.
Charlie loves it at Paws n Klaws - he is so excited when he arrives and doesn't want to leave. The staff are fantastic.
Friendly staff and the secure fields are well maintained
This is a wonderful place, My hens have stayed here on 3 occasions with a fourth booked for mid August
Jan is amazing. I travel from South Devon to leave my dogs with Jan she is so good. I have known her almost 20 years and she has looked after all the dogs I have had in that time - including elderly rescues. I wouldn't go any where else- she is amazing with all dogs and trustworthy - so worth the extra drive to know I will collect a happy, well cared for dog who loves it so much there they don't always want to come home.
We have used Jan at Langport for more than 10 years as we hated putting our Basset Hounds in kennels. She has a several acre field right next to the house where they are exercised frequently. In addition she takes them out for a proper walk each day.All the dogs of every breed sleep in her house and they all seem to love it. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs, horses and other pets. I think she has also just been awarded 5 stars by Defra. When one of our Bassets was ill she actually slept downstairs with her: an amazingly dedicated and kind lady.
Jan is excellent with our dogs. They are always happy there and sadly I feel at times they dont want to come home!
My dog goes here and he always comes home tired. And Jan is a nutter, she will walk the dogs come rain or shine
Fantastic place my Drago loves it already
Absolutely fantastic service
Couldn't be better
A home from home
Our dog Billy absolutely loves going to Bev’s for day care, as he gets to spend the day doing his two favourite things - walking and snoozing! We re-homed him last year, and think he had spent a lot of his life being left alone at home for most of the day. Since going to Bev’s, Billy has become much more confident and playful, and his days at day care have helped him to socialise and make lots of doggy friends! Bev is so kind to all the dogs, and her background as a veterinary nurse gives us complete peace of mind. The dogs go out on exciting and varied walks, and can then relax in her comfortable home. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for Billy, and would recommend Bev’s services to everyone!
We are so grateful to Beverley and Flora for making Stan’s first stay with them a comfortable and well cared for one. The daily updates, photos and videos were a great comfort while we were away. Stan obviously enjoyed his walks and runs and his time with them. Thanks again to Bev & Flora. Great service.
Beverley provides a first class service. Our cats are extremely well cared for and we think they may prefer Beverley to us 😂. Highly recommended! …
My spaniel has a wonderful time with Bev, Flora and the daycare dogs. Bev is very caring and clearly puts time & effort into making sure the dogs are well integrated and happy. She takes them on lovely walks, which my active dog loves. Bev also provides videos and photos to show the happy time they are having in the beautiful countryside of South Somerset. I am very pleased with this special and unique service that ensures my dog is exercised, engaged and has an enriched experience. The dogs are well looked after and safe. He comes home after a good day with his friends, tail wagging and happy!!
Bev has visited our cat for the last 10 months on a regular basis and is absolutely excellent. She cares for our cat impeccably well and keeps us updated with WhatsApp photos/videos on every visit. Bev also ensures our home is secure and locked after each visit. Thankfully our pet has not been unwell whilst we have been away, but I am confident that Bev would address any illness issues of our cat swiftly and keep us informed. Thank you for all you do!
Our dog Bertie has a lovely time at daycare with Happy Pets and Paws. Bev makes sure all of the dogs get on well, they have different walks every day and lots of one on one interaction too as they are never in a big group. We also get lots of updates and videos on their walks. Would highly recommend for any daycare or walking services.
For assurance that your dogs and cats are in good hands when you go on holiday then get peace of mind with Bev at Happy Pets and Paws in Ilminster. After many years of excellent, caring attention we would highly recommend Bev. We have cats - at times many cats! - and they really do enjoy staying at home rather than going away for their holiday. They were getting stressed being taken away to holiday homes and then again on the return trip. Bev allows them to remain in their own familiar home in stress free surroundings. We have had cats with a wide range of ages and requirements, including some old timers like us requiring medications, but Bev provides all the care they need. As she is a qualified veterinary nurse, this is an obvious bonus because we know that she will spot if something is not right and will be on hand to sort it out. Bev also keeps us updated while we are away and you can hear the love and attention she provides. We have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants a professional, caring and friendly ‘mum’ to keep your pampered ones happy while you are away.
Honey has a fabulous time with Bev and Flora (and the rest of the gang) Bev provides a caring service with excellent communication and is flexible with our working hours. We have used HPP for boarding as well and it is reassuring knowing Honey has so much fun while we are away. We especially like that Bev only accepts well mannered and sociable dogs. Would highly recommend and we intend to continue sending Honey to HPP for many years to come!
Highly qualified, very professional dog Walker and carer. Unhappy that we hadn’t used all of the same commands as she uses, for dog training. Has a very small garden. Own dog and our dog just didn’t click? No idea why. So despite having paid lots of money for a holiday we had to then cancel. When we tried to book again we were rejected. Lots of time wasted as we wanted someone for emergencies and dog free occasions like Weddings . Paid for test visits, and accepted. Then when we needed help we had to start searching all over again. I’m disabled and have limited mobility so this was a big problem.
My dog has been going to Happy Pets & Paws for daycare for about 7 years now, and still absolutely loves it. Bev provides a very high quality service and always puts the dogs and their welfare first, all whilst being extremely professional and totally reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
My German shepherd had a good stay here and will be staying in June for 5 nights, he loved playing with all the toys and it’s very good he can socialise with other dogs. We are very lucky this place is so close to home and have been trying to find doggy care for a while and we are happy to say we have found this place!
These guys are amazing. I have a very lively 13 month old Border Terrier who has never been left. The owners and staff have been great, we've introduced him slowly, started with a half day, a few full days and last night his first overnight stay! I'm happy and Ferris is happy (and tired!). They've really put my mind at rest and I feel comfortable leaving him, he has a great time too! Thanks to the whole team from Susie and Ferris x
What a fabulous place this is for your dog. Willow had her second visit to “dog camp” and loves it. Kristie, Sam and their helpers really care for the dogs who have a great place to play and run. They are not confined to a kennel with the odd walk, like other establishments. We have no hesitation in leaving Willow in their care but if you want to book, be quick, they are very popular!
We have used Little dogs for a few years and our dog, Arthur, has enjoyed every minute. He starts to get excited as we pull into the lane and then rushes out the car without a backwards glance. We know he has fun, is very well looked after and loved. We fully recommend and feel lucky we found them.
We left our dog in their care whilst on holiday. To have a phone call saying he had been left at the vets on his own saying he's had a collision. A week later he got worse and was told he got bit on his leg by a snake. A week after and £10,000 later we then got told it could cost an extra £20,000 to try and keep his leg but then it still might not prevent it. So we made the decision to have his leg amputated. The kennels ignored our messages and updates on blue and have not helped out, asked how he is or got in touch. We really do not want any other dog or family to go through this again.
I’ve never put my dogs in kennels before due to the fear of them being depressed and not exercised but little dogs “not so little dogs” have completely changed my mind. 😁 they were recommended to me when I was struggling to find a dogsitter that would be able to cope with me very friendly, manic springer for 10 days and they welcomed us in straight away. All the staff are so friendly and Barney settled in immediately after his trials and inductions. I received photos whilst abroad via their Facebook page which gave me piece of mind that he was having the best time. When I came home the feedback I got was Barney to a T so I know the staff had taken time to interact and observe all his behaviours good and cheeky! I will definitely be using them again on our next trips away, it’s now barneys favourite place! 🐾 well priced, easy online portal booking system, lovely staff, great facilities, built securely for even the most professional escape artists to fail and a fun place for all the doggies! 🐾
What can I say about Little Dogs? They are everything we wanted for our older dog when we went away but it was not to be. So when Jazz came into our lives and a family week abroad meant having to find somewhere for her to stay we started to look at options outside the traditional kennel stays. Jazz can be a sensitive soul but LDNSLD's have definitely brought her out of her shell and her split personalities shine through in the great photos we look forward to at the end of the day. We rested well knowing that she was having the time of her life and could have a well earned rest in her kennel at the end of the day. The staff have one of the best jobs and they lap up giving the dogs lots of attention which ensures that they trot through the door at the start of the day with a waggy tail! Long may the beautiful relationship we have continue x
Outstanding all around. Professional, caring and FUN! whenever we drop Kobi off, her tail is wagging as we see her rush past us to go in. The photo updates show us that she has the best of times under the care of the whole team at LittleDogs. Honestly we are so grateful to be accepted onto their books. Wonderful!!
Thank you so much for looking after Loki whilst we were away, he's had a ball. The photos each day are amazing and the hands on care you give is great. Really feel like you know Loki.
What can I say about LittleDogs? We rescued a nutter of a dog a few years ago. He suffers from separation anxiety and we found this really difficult. It was equally difficult to find somewhere we were happy to leave him as he isn't straight forward! Sam and Kristie are simply amazing - Alfie is SO happy to see them. We never hesitate to leave him there as he has such a good time and comes back incredibly tired. Thank you Sam and Kristie!
Barking mad were wonderful with our old girl tasia they looked after her while we went away. We would not hesitate to use them again. Thankyou once again
Barking Mad Taunton found us the perfect host for our two dogs while we had a lovely holiday knowing our dogs were being well cared for. After the distress they suffered after their last time in kennels this is the perfect solution. Will certainly use them again.
