FIVE STAR DEFRA RATED
Royvon is proud to have been granted the full five star rating in our latest inspection by DEFRA, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). This government department plays a key role in ensuring the welfare of animals in all environments in the UK, including dogs in boarding kennels. Five stars is the highest rating, showing that we provide the highest level of welfare for our guests.
Our five star kennel rating has been earned through commitment to our services, our facilities and our staff. Each of these areas combines to help us to meet our mission to help as many dogs as possible to live their happiest lives in the company of the family they love.
The rating reflects the following criteria from DEFRA:
- Clean, well-maintained kennels.
We offer dog hotel-style accommodation for our guests with a temperature-controlled inside area and an outside area for each guest.
- Dogs must have access to fresh water and food at all times and be free from any signs of neglect or abuse.
Alongside our training and admin team, we have a dedicated care team who make sure that dogs are healthy, comfortable, fed on time, kept clean, given any medication they are on, weight-checked, AND given plenty of attention and cuddles!
- Dogs must have access to exercise and social interaction.
Our fully-customisable schedule ensures that your dog can exercise and interact in exactly the way that suits them. From group playtime sessions in our purpose-built paddocks, to 1-2-1 woodland walks with the care team for those who find group play trickier.
- Processes and procedures
From your first interaction with Royvon, you will notice that we ask a lot of questions. We do this to ensure that the care we provide is both appropriate and safe, for your dog and for our team. By investing internally in streamlined processes and staff training, we always aim to provide you with simple but effective ways to access our services.
We are meticulous with our records for dogs that stay with us to make sure they are content and kept as close as possible to their normal routine. If anything were ever to happen, we have close relationships with local vets and these records are vital for prompt and effective medical care.
There are many things that go on behind the scenes at Royvon to provide 5 star rated boarding for your dog. You can feel it from the ANPR-activated front gates, hear it in the way the Reception Team welcomes you, see it in the daily updates from the care team while you are away, and your dog has their own way of telling you about it when you come to collect them!
Whether you need dog training, day care, or boarding services, we invite you to experience the exceptional quality and care that Royvon Dog Training and Hotels offer. So, join us in celebrating this incredible achievement, and let us help your furry friend thrive. Contact us now if you want to know how.
