BIT OF AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE !!â¨
Hi! Here at Hotel Hattie, we love our life! We love helping you go off on holiday happily, knowing you leave your dog/s having their own holiday here, safe and loved.â¨
One of the things about home boarding that attracts you is that it is SMALL, and self-limiting, so you know you your dog/s get our full attention all the time. â¨
The trouble is, that is exactly the problem now. We are restricted as to numbers, and there are not a lot of us offering home boarding.â¨
At the moment, we are getting LOTS of enquiries - many are last minute, and many from people who have been let down. We would love to help, but we cannot - we have been booked up for some time now, with clients booking into 2023 and 2024 already.â¨
We have had to decide to close our books to new clients, to give our loyal regulars access to the odd free days that might be available. We will open again as soon as possible, but will be taking bookings for next year onwards.â¨
The South Glos council website has a downloadable list of all licensed home boarders in their "licensed animal premises " section (on this page - https://www.southglos.gov.uk/business/animal-health-welfare/animalwelfare/licensing-animal-activities-2018/ ). â¨
Do make sure that the person you leave your dog/s with is licensed and insured, they will be happy to show you evidence. Licensed home boarders are inspected to ensure health & safety standards are reached, and that knowledge of dog first aid, behaviour, body language, and animal welfare is evidenced.â¨
Just by the by, some of us have been shouted and sworn at when explaining why we cannot be of help - that is really not on. We really do want to be of help whenever possible,â¨So, whilst we love our life, we are finding the present times frustrating and upsetting, and we really hope that we will see you some day here at Hotel Hattie.â¨
All the very best, Lhina xx
