A&S Kennel - Ardrossan

This kennel needs to be shut down!!! Do not support this business. They let a perfectly healthy great Dane starve to death and deprived the dog of water! The dog was here for 11 days and in those 11 days he died right before the owners picked him up. Absolutely disgusting behavior. Avoid this so called 'business'

I have taken our pitbull here for the past 4 years with out any issue. I have had delayed flights, last minute bookings, last minute pickups or extended stays and have had nothing but a great experience. Al has always phoned back or has emailed back within minutes of sending. They have been accommodating and have always taken extremely good care of my dog when I've been away. He would stay for typically 2 to 3 days at a time and has stayed for week long visits, previously 1 month stay, and for the past 2 months Monday to Friday. The staff have always been pleasant to deal with, they have taken him on walks as soon as I've arrived and hes never lossed weight while being at the kennel. He absolutley loved going there and loved all the staff. They would even give him baths when they thought he was dirty, trimmed his nails, and if ever he ran out of food they would ALWAYS supply it. Over the past 4 years I've had nothing but an exceptional experience here, all the staff, and both Al and Sally have been running an accommodating and respectable business. One which they would drop everything, stay late or open early just to have my pet taken care of on short notice. They are my only go to for dog boarding and have never had second thoughts on how they operate. I've been given tours of the facility and have seen mid day on various occasions on how they interact with their staff, their pets they are caring for and how they are being treated. The ac is always making each room comfortable, and each pet is comfortable and well taken care for and above all else has a clean place to stay, with food and water in each and every bowl. I encourage people to not read a single article that popped up on their page from a facebook post on a person or circumstances they themselves know nothing about and make their own biased judgements on a business that is not doing any harm and is providing exceptional service to people local to the area. I have never been disappointed using A&S and will continue to take my pets there in the future.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THEM! Under any circumstances. I have a small mixed breed dog who stayed with them for 4 days in July When I went to pick him up, and commented on his lethargic appearance, they were rude and dismissive. I ended up taking him straight to the vet, who said he was severely dehydrated, so much so that they kept him overnight at the vet. The vet said that my sweet boy likely wouldn't have made it another 24 hours. I urge you to your research. When a kennel has a rating as poor as this one does, please be cautious as you don't want to put your pet in danger.

We've had a great experiences with these guys going back for years. They are incredibly flexible when it comes to pickups and drop offs, and have been great with our dog who has had issues with separation anxiety. He's comfortable there, and that matters the most to me.

I can only speak to my personal experience with this kennel. We have been using them for the past 6 years and have not had any significant concerns. They are quick to respond to text messages, they always give a full report about our dog's stay, and they've given me a tour of the facilities whenever I've asked. The inside has A/C and fans and was nice and cool even when it was over 30 degrees outside. We've had our dog stay anywhere from a weekend (2 nights) to 28 days without an issue. I just picked him up from a week's stay and he was happy, healthy, and not stressed.

Have been taking our dogs here for almost 20 years, for weekends to 3-week stays while we were overseas. When our arthritic dog was having difficulty with the kennel floors, Sally & Al brought her into their home to stay instead. The staff is always kind and you can tell they care greatly about the animals. Our dogs are always happy to be dropped off and are cheerful & healthy when picked up.

Our young bunny just spent the last 3 weeks at A&S and I cannot say enough about this place. They sent my daughter photos of our bunny in the giant x-pen and being snuggled by staff every few days, and upon request. They even generously topped up her meals with fresh veggies from their garden (at no extra cost!). She was definitely the opposite of neglected here. We weren’t able to make it during their regular hours to pick her up and they were happy to accommodate us after hours. Sad story about the lady and her older dane. Our recent experience with A&S was very positive.

We found ourselves needing a kennel last minute and they were happy to help. Organized, very clean and sanitized kennels. Our dog was well taken care of and content until we could pick him up. I would recommend for sure.
