Kasino simply loves being there and loves all the people that so lovingly take care of her. We are super happy with the service and can truly say that Kasino is too! Thank u to the team at Durban Dog Hotel for entertaining and exercing our very active girl! 😁

Harvey just loves the Durban Dog Hotel. It's his home away from home. He first went there as a 3 month old puppy and continues to visit when ever he gets a chance. The Dog Hotel has helped him socialise with other dogs and he just loves the staff.

We love sending our fur babies to The Durban Dog Hotel and; Paddy and Lola love visiting. We can't thank the team enough for taking care of our babies on so many occassions. We know that when we drop them off that they're in good hands and will be well cared for. We also love receiving the regular updates and photos. Keep up the good work!!!

We can't imagine life without Durban Dog Hotel!! Our little Frodo has an absolute ball at doggie day care twice a week. He has a routine in the morning of running back and forth from the front door as if to say "Is today doggie day care Mummy, is it today?" It absolutely makes his day (and mine) to happily go off to play with some special buddies. We can't thank and praise Sonseirai and Candice enough for their unique touch in making this place our happy place ��❤️
