Have previously use Hotel Para Caes at Boliqueieme but despite three e-mails and telephone calls they have not responded re booking for a week in November. Friend has told me that they close in November but I would have thought that they would have replied if this was the case.
Can any one recommend other kennels'

I'm sorry don't know about kennels but have you considered pet/house sitters? We use 'Dogsbodies' & couldn't recommend them highly enough, they are excellent. They bring everything they need,including bed linen, food, even cutlery, etc. Your animals needs are all met with absolute care in their own home & your house is secure too as once they arrive they don't leave until you're home. We have 5 animals so price wise it works out a lot cheaper than kenneling.

I am happy to report that the problem has been PT ! Who would have guessed!?
Hotel Para Caes at Boliqueieme are a first class kennels and we have always felt very comfortable leaving our dog there on tway to the airport. They do not close in November and we have booked in again.
Thanks for the reply re pet sitters. Being worriers we like to lock up put the dog in kennels and hope nothing untowards happens.
