Testimonials
Some feedback from our lovely customers.
Colin and Lesley McG
Riley and Branble loved their stay with Doggy Digs Durham. They both had lots of fun and plenty of exercise and their different personalities and needs were well catered for by Carol and Malcolm. We felt like they have found a genuine home from home where we can confidently leave them when we go on holiday. They are already booked for a return visit!

Couldn't ask for a better day care. My pup loves going here and she's so well looked after. Doesn't even look back when I drop her off. Doggy Digs is like a home from home and we look forward to using this service for many years to come. Carol and Malcolm are lovely people, can't recommend highly enough! (April 2024)

Marvin my 10 year old cavalier has always gone to kennels but as he has got older he wouldn't settle. He has a problem with his ears and gets quite stressed. Doggy Digs Durham were recommended by our local veterinary nurse. Marvin went to meet Carol and Malcolm and had a trial overnight stay where he settled immediately. He has just stayed for a week and couldn't be happier. He has had loads of cuddles and affection and has been cared for so well. I will definitely be back and highly recommend them! (June 2024)
