Reviews
Our very energetic puppy loves going to Doggy daycare at Creature Comforts. She is always very excited when we turn into the driveway. Highly recommend Nicola and the team.
We LOVE Nicola and the team... our 9 year old medium/large dog LOVES attending this kennel on a regular basis. We had previously had problems with him settling into other kennels. Nicola listened to our concerns; offered advice; and ensured that she gave us regular updates on his progress.
Aurora loves staying at Creature Comforts Pet Lodge and will start getting excited as soon as we turn in the driveway.
