    Learn About The Grateful Dog

    The Grateful Dog was created to offer something truly different when it comes to Home Boarding in Bath. Our approach is centred around providing a safe, calm and loving home environment where your dog can settle in naturally. Rather than being placed in a kennel or unfamiliar setting, your dog lives alongside us, sharing our daily life, relaxing in comfortable surroundings and receiving consistent one-to-one attention.

    We take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, preferences and routines so we can tailor their stay to suit them. From feeding schedules and exercise needs to favourite toys and sleeping habits, every detail matters. Regular walks, enrichment activities and plenty of affection are all part of the experience, ensuring your dog feels secure, stimulated and content throughout their stay. At The Grateful Dog, your pet is never just a booking. They are welcomed as part of our family, giving you complete peace of mind while you are away.
