About

We know everyone needs to get away every now and then, so we thought it was about time dogs had a holiday too...

If there's anybody who knows about dogs, then it's us. Since 2000 we've been arranging ‘homey' holidays just as good as the one we had with Grandma when we went to the beach, ate ice cream and everything. Every day, everybody says thank you, and we don't think life can get any better than that! (Read about our story)

When you book a Barking Mad holiday, you can be confident your dogs' are going to have as good a time as you - although secretly we hope it's even better!

Who's who - It's really important to get to know you and your dog, especially in the beginning. We'll come to you and over a cup of tea you can tell us all about your day-to-day routines for feeding and exercising so we can replicate this for your dog. We'll chat about likes (usually a lot), dislikes (usually the postman) and any healthcare requirements. By the second chocolate digestive we've started to understand your dogs' individual needs and lifestyle. By the end of our meeting, which usually takes around an hour, we'll all be getting along famously.

Oh and don't worry, we love dogs of all shapes and sizes, pedigree, Heinz 57 or rescue. They can sleep in the bedroom, pull on the lead, or even hide your favourite socks. As long as they are friendly we'll get along just fine.
