The Hidden Costs of the Holiday - Pets!

[tonyco1]

We have Dogs, when we have a holiday - they have to have one as well!!
We are not so keen on Kennels so our friends who have dogs also do some boarding and look after them for us in their house.
We get a special deal really, as I have a Dobermann and 3 x Miniature Schnauzers, but it still costs us £20 a day!
Some kennels charge almost as much a day for one dog!!
How much do others pay, is it cheaper in the North of the country?

For a minute there I thought pets were obligatory!

We have 2 jack russells and they go to kennels we have used for more than 25 years. We pay £16 a night for the 2 of them as they share the same kennel which are quite large.This is in Yorkshire

Why don't you do what we do, each holiday we just have our pets put down and when we come back we get new ones! it's much cheaper and you get a variety of pets

Bob you'll get slaughtered when the girlies see that.  Know you're only kidding though!

Are you still calling for a drink at Ozzy Oils?

When we used to board our cats during our holiday it used to cost us about £100.00 for 2 weeks for 2 cats. Sadly we haven't got them any more but it was always peace of mind that they were being well looked after.

We put our little princess in the cattery for 16 days and they charged us £104.00. She comes back as fat as what I do when shes been away...dont knowwho has a better holiday her or us!

Bobthebuilder, what a great idea! I am going to cancel my dogs kennel reservation now and book a vet appointment instead. Should save enough in kennel fees for another holiday next year.

LOL  Bob

How to save on kennels and carparking:  Fly from Manchester, (Son lives nearby) Leave dog with Son and Family, get Son to take and pick you up from the airport. SORTED
