What to check before you book

• Vaccinations: most kennels ask for C5 (including kennel cough) certificates, often 10–14 days before arrival.
• Per day or per night: some charge for both arrival and departure days, so a 7-night stay can cost 8 days.
• Peak rules: Christmas and Easter usually bring higher rates, minimum stays and non-refundable deposits.
• Visit first: many kennels welcome an inspection before the first stay.
