All I can say is that I wouldn't trust anyone else to cut my poppy's (standard poodle) hair. Staff are both friendly and excellent at their work. Poppy loves to see them and they make such a fuss. I can't imagine why anyone would have anything bad to say about them. No business that was doign anything bad would have open windows to allow all passers by to see them working.. Absolutely amazing!

I have know the owner of Jaycliffe now for many years. Karen is a very knowledgeable lady with dogs and has bought this business during 2007 when it needed LOTS doing to it that were neglected by the previous owners. There are modernisations going on with all the kennels and the catteries - but it all takes time. However, ALL the girls employed there are very kind to the dogs and they do all get walked at least twice a day. Any dog that goes into kennels goes into somewhere thats got a concrete floor - no carpets as they do at home, they are being looked after by strangers (no matter how nice they are), and they are in a very strange environment. For any dog to be 'happy' is a miracle. Some dogs will loose weight because they are unhappy that they have been left - others are fine and just get on with whats happening. What I can say is that if I were going on holiday and I put my dogs into boarding kennels - I would be MORE than happy to leave all of them at Jaycliffe in the care of Karen and her staff.

I went away for 4 days and left my German Sheppard who sometimes suffers with seperation anxiety, I told the owner Karen about this and was assured that Rueben would be fine. I left him with his bed, collar and lead and all were returned to me clean and in the same condition i had left them. I also found Rueben was more than happy and would definately leave him here again. Thank You for taking such good care of my boy.

We left our dog here for 8 days, he returned 4KG's lighter which is a 5th of his body weight. He also had serious urine burns to his feet to the extent that the vet had to shave his paws, they were infected with pus oozing from them and were bleeding. It was the worst the vet had seen in 10 years. He has needed extensive medication and the psychological scarring will take ages to heal (if ever). We have a vets report and it is clear that he had been left standing in his own urine in the kennels for several days, the RSPCA and the local Council have also been informed. We were informed they had used a whitening shampoo on him to remove the urine stains, but if they bothered to clean them out properly there woudl be no need for this. We would NEVER use them or recommend them to anyone.
