Cattery

I have kenneled my 2 greys at Hilltop twice in the last 6months. The service is excellent friendly and professional. All the staff I've met have been lovely and helpful and clearly love the dogs in their care. I highly recommend Hilltop and the team. 5 Stars!

Very pleased with the cattery. The owners are such nice people and my cat came home so happy and well looked after. I was very concerned about leaving my cat as never used a cattery before but Will definitely use in the future

Booked in advance but our error one of the dogs was given kennel cough two days b4.boarding the dogs, the owner refused our dogs - quite rightly, however his manner was rude and bullish which wasn’t helpful the day b4 our holiday abroad, he left me standing there for a good 10 mins whilst he tore strips off me about losing money because he eventually decided to refuse our dogs. Luckily our family came to the rescue. Will never use this kennel.

3 times we’ve taken my dog here to get him groomed.1st time they cut him lovely but we did notice that the groomer had caught him with something sharp and cut him. Accidents happen so booked him in again.The 2nd time they cut him completely wrong. He looked awful, I guessed it was a different groomer so we put it down to a mistake.The 3rd (and last) time we took him, they cut him ok but again the caught him with something sharp which has left quite a nasty cut. My dog wouldn’t stop licking the wound so out come the cone of shame.Both times the groomer had caught him they never told us about it.The staff are genuinely lovely but because of the issues we’ve had I think two stars is a fair assessment for the grooming side of the business

We have been booking our cat/cats into South Lodge Cattery for the best part of 10 years. A truly genuine animal loving zone with sincere carers. Our cat always comes home looking better than when we left her! If I was a cat I would book in myself :)

I have so many wonderful things to say about Su and Aquithie Kennels. I recently arrived from the US with two dogs in tow--with the same paperwork. One was released to us the other put in quarantine. As we are based out of Scotland I chose Aquithie Kennels as it was the closest kennel that manages quarantine. I was distressed to put it mildly. I was able to connect with Su quickly and she immediately got the process started to transfer Shakko to Aquithie Kennels. Within a day of his arrival she and the vet were able to see that he met the requirements for entry and had been erroneously quarantined. Su then helped appeal Shakko's case quickly so he was back with me in ten days.Su went above and beyond to communicate with me regularly, even when I was perhaps messaging too much. She put me at ease and took time to educate herself on his breed and listen to my concerns. When I picked Shakko up he was in good spirits and had been well taken care of. Having never been kenneled before I was glad he went through it with Aquithie as I couldn't have asked for better care for him during this process.If you have to board or quarantine your dog in Scotland (or the UK) and don't know where to go, I recommend them with every fibre of my being. Su, her husband, and her team care about each of the animals and their human families that stay at Aquithie.

Friendly owner and personalised care provided for each cat.

Rude and patronising.I called to enquire about accommodation for our dog, having never put her in a local kennel before a Google searched showed this kennel as being the closest. When I called, the gentleman who answered the phone just laughed, did not answer my question. In fact I had to ask if they had space a second time as I wasn't sure what was going on and still he did not speak to me just continued laughing before saying 'not a chance'. I run a small business myself and would never treat a potential customer like this. Needless to say, I will not recommended this kennel in fact I would not encourage anyone to use this business. Manners cost nothing.

Friendly staff lovely location.Very accommodatingHopefully all will be well.Will update

I feel so at ease with Heidi, she came to my rescue and helped me out big time with my pooches, walking and taking care of them whist I worked. Would highly recommend! Tallulah and Prince absolutely adore her!
