Our pup just spent the past 3 days with Top Notch. She's come home happy. Being away from the city we really appreciated being able to see pictures of our pup on Top Notch's social media. Thank you😊

Our Mum and Dad brought is to this pawsome hotel to stay for two nights and it was woof-tastic! We got delicious stuffed Kong's each day for a chewy snack and playtime away from other dogs. My bigsister is a bit wary of other dogs since she saw me get attacked when I was little, so the super nice people at Top Notch were able to give her the stress-free walking space she needed - I tagged along for the ride. I was able to bring our favorite snuggly bed for us to share in our own big room with our own outside area!We had our normal food and our very own waiters and waitresses to give us our meds with it too! We can't wait to come back and stay with our new friends again soon!

Our dogs love it here, and we really appreciate that Top Notch post photos on their Instagram so we can see what the dogs are up to. The staff are so kind and you can tell that they genuinely care for their guests.
