Wouldn't let my pets go anywhere else but here would even send kids if it was possible ,a fab place for your pets it's like home from home, brilliant place x
I get my dog food from here approx every 6 weeks. It's excellent food by Royal Canin so I know that my dog is being fed the best. Deborah knows her products but also charges a very competitive price. I'd never go to the high street retailers when I can support local businesses such as Willows, Wags and Whiskers. Thanks for great service every time!
We went to W,W & W for our holidays last week. We had a fantastic time, sooooo good that we didn't really want to go home. Ah well here's till next time.
I booked a pony party for my daughter on recommendation from Kathryn at thebestof. It was brilliant! Everything was taken care of from the party invitations and party bags through to the food. All the children loved it, particularly the competition for the best decorated pony - they all loved the glitter gel (too much!!) There was lot's more interactive fun like musical mats with the ponies and children and I am already thinking of booking for next years party too. Olivia thought it was brilliant and I've told so many people. Thanks!
To Chris, Deb and Abbie, thank you , thank you for everything you've done for us and Tilly Bud. Love Donna and Mayzie.
To Debbie and staff at Wags and Willows, many thanks for taking care of Jack, Midge and Garfield - Adam and Josh. x x
Thank you for looking after my dog, Lottie. You are very flexibile and my dog is always very happy when collected.
Thank you for taking such good care of Breckan. It's a great place, clean & professionally staffed by animal lovers!
Most definately very pleased!! I'd leave her with you all the time if I could!
Barney stayed at Willows, Wags and Whiskers for the first time last weekend. We had heard about the new kennels from a friend who had recommended it highly. Upon arrival we were impressed by the brand new accomodation, open fields and friendly staff. The kennels are very clean, spacious and the staff have an evident enthusiasm and affection for their guest. Barney seemed very happy to be left here and when we picked him up, he was happy to see us but also, evidently sad to say goodbye to his new family. We would recommend Willows, Wags and Whiskers for it's friendly, quality and great value service. Barney will cretainly be paying a visit again soon. Thanks Deborah.
I was called away on urgent business a couple of weeks ago and knew I would be away for 2-3 days so I sent my african grey parrot "Sid" for a short stay at Willows, Wags and Whiskers, as he cannot be left alone for more than 12 hours. I found their service second to none and even at short notice was accommodated quickly and Sid had a lovely holiday away!
Mylo has just come back from his "holiday" with you and is extremely happy and contented. I don't know what you did but he is a much calmer and settled dog. We will not hesitate to leave him in your care in future. Thank you.
Fifi trixabella didnt want to come home she loved it that much! Its the best!
Willows Wags And Whiskers is the best kennels by far we've ever seen, fantastic service and it was a pleasure to see our dogs so well looked after and happy up there, cheeeeers once again.
Just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou for the fabulous care that Jimmy, Flo, Berkeley and Sprout received from everyone there. Will definiteley recommend to anyone!! Top notch care and service!
You are always met with a warm welcome and a smile when you arrive at Willows, Wags and Whiskers - generally by Deborah who works tirelessly to ensure every animal in her care is comfortable and extremely happy. With regular walks for the dogs, love and attention and even the radio to keep them happy there is a pleasant atmosphere for your treasured family member. I buy my dog food from here and it has to be said that the price knocks spots off anyone else locally, not only that it's Royal Canin, a high quality food which puts a shine on the coat and an extra wag in the tail! Keep up the good work Deborah - I am happy to recommend you to all that I meet.
To Debbie, Chris and family. Thank you so much for taking care of Mia and Suzie while we were on holiday. Lots of love from Cathy, Stephen, Allan, Anton, Mia and Suzie
A big thank you for taking good care of Fergie, Lucky and Peppy. We will certainly and already have recommended "Willows, Wags and Whiskers". What a great and appropriate name. Trev and Sylvia
Just a thank you for all that you did - and beyond the call of duty so to speak. When I collected Daisy she seemed happy and content and possibly a little spoilt! I would not hesitate to bring her again. I hope all goes well in your new venture, you deserve it. Kind regards, Pat and Daisy
