Terms and Conditions
1. Services Provided
Premier Paws LTD provides professional dog daycare and non-kennelled overnight boarding services in a secure, home-based environment. All services are subject to availability and approval.
Due to our facilities and residential setting, we only accept small to medium breeds. We are unable to accommodate large breeds, including but not limited to Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Boxers, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Mastiffs, and similar-sized breeds.
Payment is due at check-in once a booking has been confirmed. We accept PayPal, cash, or card on arrival.
2. Trial Policy
All boarding clients must complete a trial day prior to their first overnight stay.
-
The trial consists of one full day of daycare
-
Cost: £15
-
The trial allows us to assess your dog’s behaviour, comfort, sociability, and suitability for our environment
Completion of a trial does not guarantee acceptance for boarding.
3. Client Responsibilities
By using our services, you confirm that:
-
Your dog is registered with Premier Paws
-
Vaccinations are up to date, including Kennel Cough
-
Your dog is flea- and worm-free
-
Your dog is sociable, friendly, and non-aggressive
-
Any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioural concerns, or special requirements have been disclosed in advance
We are not veterinarians and can only administer vet-prescribed medication where instructions are clear and provided on the original labelled container.
4. Behaviour, Risk & Liability
Premier Paws is a non-kennelled, social dog hotel. Dogs are free to interact in a supervised group environment. While we take all reasonable precautions to minimise risk — including removing triggers such as toys or food and refusing dogs with any history of aggression — interaction between dogs is natural and cannot be entirely risk-free.
Even the calmest and friendliest dogs can have an off day, and dogs communicate in ways that may occasionally result in injury.
By boarding with Premier Paws, owners acknowledge and accept this inherent risk. Any veterinary or associated costs resulting from injury are the responsibility of the dog’s owner. Owners may choose to pursue recovery of costs directly from the other dog’s owner if applicable; Premier Paws does not accept liability for such costs.
Dogs displaying aggressive behaviour towards staff or other dogs may be removed immediately from our care.
24/7 CCTV is in operation, and footage will be available should evidence of an incident be required.
As we operate in a residential area, dogs that bark excessively may not be suitable for our services. If excessive barking occurs, owners may be contacted, and full fees will still apply.

All emergency veterinary care and associated costs are the responsibility of the owner.
