Our kennels are cool in the summer; warm and snug in the winter. We maintain extremely high standards of hygiene and we welcome inspection. Â Each kennel also has its own large undercover run allowing dogs to socialise and be stimulated by their surroundings.
We love nothing more than being able to feed all of our guests their favourite foods. You can, of course, bring your own food if you prefer. We are happy to cater for any specific requirements, please feel free to discuss this with us.
All of our kennels have Classic FM playing continually, as this has been scientifically proven to reduce stress and increase tranquility in animals.
Please tell us what your dog prefers and we will work very hard to ensure that Reed House becomes a home from home. We want your dogs to feel like they have had a nice relaxing break too! As dog lovers we understand that elderly, nervous or timid dogs may require special attention. Please let us know – nothing is too much trouble.

At least two walks per day with the option of upgrading your dogs walks to an hour long woodland walk around the beautiful Dunham Massey estate.

Our Pets Stay @ Home service offers a friendly and professional pet sitting service in your own home, with daily visits, scheduled 3 times a day, during your time are away. We understand that no matter how good the kennels or cattery may be, some pets just prefer to stay at home. Our unique service will provide the stress-free exercise, diet, play and cuddles that your pet requires.
We work very hard to ensure that your pet has an enjoyable time staying at home. All of our staff are trained and insured and will work with your pet’s individual needs. We can create a customized plan to make sure that your pet’s normal routine is adhered to as much as possible. We understand that each pet is an individual and we will work with you to create a personalised plan.
As we work closely with rescued and abandoned animals (please have a look at our re-homing page) we have the vital experience to deal with timid or nervy pets.
We can also administer any medication that your beloved pet may need; this means that our service is very popular with the older pets, or those that are too poorly or old for the excitement of a kennels and cattery.
