Frequently Asked Questions

New customers understandably have questions about The Grange Retreat and the service we provide. We have listed some common questions customers ask before booking. If you have any further questions not listed we would be happy to help if you wanted to call or pop by.

  • Will my dogs be walked during their stay?

    All dogs are walked during stays, with a minimum of 3 walks around the fields and a minimum of 2 paddocks each day, plus a bedtime paddock before bed-time biscuit and lights out.

  • My pets have particular exercise needs due to health conditions. Can you accommodate them and make sure they get their own exercise sessions?

    Yes, we ask for a personality questionaire to be filled in for each pet, this helps us
    provide an enrichment plan for your dog, if your dog can’t walk, we would use the same amount of time in the paddock off lead, so instead of 3 walks and 2 paddocks it would be 5 times in the paddock area.

  • My dog has specific dietary requirements which means he can’t eat regular dog food. Can you cater to his needs?

    Each dietary requirement is written on a board for us to follow, if you require something specific you can provide the food and full instructions and this will be given daily.

  • I’d love to see my pets enjoying their time at Grange Retreat! Can you take some pictures for me so I can take a look at what they get up to?

    Following a customer survey we implemented a policy to ensure that we post daily on Facebook and Instagram including photos and videos of all pets in our care. Any photos you would like can either be downloaded from Facebook or we can send them via email.

What Our Clients Say

Absolutely amazing service! I cannot rate The Grange Retreat highly enough. One of my dogs is rather anxious, but she adores her time here. The quality of the provision, safety and care is truly exceptional. I am extremely fussy regarding where my dogs stay/are groomed, so I feel so appreciative that I now have a wonderful place for them to stay when needed. Thank you to all of the staff for a brilliant experience and service!
