THERE'S no doubt that when we go away on a trip we want to make sure our furry family members are well looked after.
Therefore we asked Hexham Courant readers on social media for their recommendations for the best kennels and dogsitters.
Where would you recommend?
Leafields Boarding for Dogs
A common response we received was Leafields, a dog boarding service near Hexham. "I wouldn't send my Bailey anywhere else," said Julie Cole. Lorna Common, Eleanor Scandle, Helen Alder also said they thought Leafields are the best kennels in Tynedale.
Frankham Fell Boarding Kennels and Cattery
Scarlet Musgrave, Laura Davies, Becky Elliott, and Leanne Dodd recommended the kennels in Fourstones. Jessica Francis also agreed, and said: "My dog loves going there!" Letitia Derrick Thompson wrote: "Highly recommend, home from home."
Ridley Farm Kennels
Ridley Farm Kennels was one of the most popular suggestions. Shirley Nixon said it was a "home from home". Stephanie Fairless, Katie Brown, Jessica Reed, Nicola Bolton, Melissa Banks, and Gail Jackson all said they think the best kennels in Tynedale is Ridley Farm Kennels.
