HYLTON HOUND HOTEL BOARDING KENNEL MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission at the Hylton is to provide First Class care and attention and accommodation for every doggy guest who stays with us when their owners are unable to and this is exactly what we do.

We believe we are the only kennels where customers are actively invited and encouraged to inspect our facility at any time during our opening hours. We practice a totally OPEN HOUSE.

A child catching a bug at school or becoming dirty or injured whilst playing with friends does not mean the child is not well parented. The same applies for a dog in our kennels and our staff, who work tirelessly 52/7 providing their doggy needs. Insurance is in place to help with vet bills arising.

We feed our guests as instructed by the owner; we cannot force a dog to eat. Occasionally, a dog will lose weight during the stay. It could be your dog!

Whilst we attempt to return beds, toys etc. etc. they are left at the kennels strictly at the owner’s risk. Everyone who has ever owned a dog knows just how destructive, messy and smelly they can be on occasion. Especially puppies and adolescents, fox poo and cow pats make for excellent rolls. One can always book a groom prior to leaving with WAGGS GROOMIMG SERVICES. (Charges apply. Subject to availability).

Facebook photo posting is a free service volunteered by our staff. Please be patient and polite. The staff will try to capture them on screen when they have time but in extremely busy periods, the main holidays mainly, this may not always be possible.

It is our policy NOT to respond to Social Media reviews good or bad. We do not offer refunds no matter how we are threatened by and through this medium. Plaintiffs are encouraged to pursue any claim through the Small Claims Court. If successful we will gladly publish the findings of the Court ourselves on Social Media, refund the boarding charge and pay all costs.

Lose and we shall seek our own costs repaid. We shall also seek damages for defamation for Fake News postings and derogatory statements posted on social media besmirching the good name and reputation of our kennels and the staff who work within the facility.

If you do not agree with all of the above statements, we recommend you find alternate means to care for your dog when you are unable.
