Hi there,

Kind regards, Briarna Chandler-Brown
Dear Susie & Team kennelmate.
I felt I had to write to to say that dear George ( Springer) passed away a few days ago .. I would like to thank you for helping to make the last few months of his life as happy as possible... He adored his kennelmate nest bed and although you do not advertise it as "Good for Arthritis" I am convinced his bed helped dramatically !!
This is a very sad time for us , but from George and our family Thank you so much..... xxxx

Hi there, Many thanks for the speedy delivery of my dog bed. My border collie, Gus is on it already and it looks very comfy! I was really pleased to find a bed that is resistant to dust mites as he has been diagnosed with allergies and dust mites was one of them! I can now bin his old bed and hope it will make a difference to his itchiness!
Regards,
Lesley

XLg Fluted mattress Already here ! arrived about an hour ago. Bed is being tried out as we speak. Furry ball will be used at Agility training tonight. Laraine Malvern
Hi Susie, It came today and the dogs love it! I knew they would though as they're the best beds i've seen and i've had a few over the years. So thanks again for emailing me, i have now definitely got you in my favourites list.I know they last years but i'll need more in the future so i hope you'll still be doing them. Thanks again from a very happy customer, Jean AND 2 even happier dogs.
Dear Susie, My bed is the best in the world! Greyhounds like me need need your big comfy beds for our skinny frames. Thankyou so much. Zzzzzzz Joey x

"Just had to say how impressed I am with the Kennelmate bed Susie!Our new addition - Grumpy - has taken to it immediately ... It's brilliant when she comes in smothered in mud, it seems to dry her off and leaves the mud behind which I can shake off - and then yesterday came home from work and she had managed to wee right in the middle of it! (she's only 8 months so accidents happen) ... anyway, took off the cover and the inner was bone dry. Ran it through the washing machine and hour later on the radiator it was dry and back on! xx"

Alison Horsley Cambridgeshire CB21 I Purchased one of your fantastic dog beds at the Fenland Country SHow last year in Chocolate/Chestnut Duo. Perfect for My dog who has just had a major op and now needs 2 months crate rest. Also found that I have used the bed myself to sleep on to be close to him (when he is in his crate - very comfortable!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the side by side lead, it's amazing! Upto this point I have been using a Halti on my Lurcher, but she hates it and is continually rubbing to get it off. When I first saw the side by side I wasn't sure how this could be any different to the halti, how wrong I was.
My lurcher accepted it straight away and from the first wearing she stopped rubbing her nose. The control and response it has given me was also a surprise, our walks are less stressful (for me) and she is pulling less and less with each walk. It also has the advantage of giving me more control when we meet other dogs and mine wants to play.
I'm completely converted, and Kahri (my lurcher is happy too). .
Cheers Jill
Lucie Adkins I received my first order from you this week. Dummy Pack, Rabbit Dummy & Slip leads ...Very impressed with the quality and the price. Will use again. Thank you.
Note from Toni English "Had one of these beds about 10yrs ago and r still using the cover but need a new one"
I have bought several training items from Kennelmate - their Rabbit Dummy is the closest to a real rabbit I have ever seen! Their slim-line dummies were just THE BEST for encouraging my young Sprocker to retrieve. Their service is second to none - I cannot fault it at all, and I live in remote Scotland! Nothing is ever too much bother for Susie or her team, no matter how bizarre your request they will endeavour to help you - including making a special trip to the PO to post me one whistle when I lost mine! For quality, service and value for money you couldn't go anywhere better 5* ++.
Patanavac Gundogs has just submitted a review of your business on FreeIndex.co.uk.Review :
Having being a user of the KENNELMATE dog beds for over 15 years and have used the regular sized dog training dummy, I decided to give the SLIMLINE dummy a try and purchased some in April last year, I have used for training my own dogs and used them a lot on the group training days I hold. I have found them to be very good for both young and experienced dogs and because they are made from a hard wearing waterproof material they dry out quicker than a traditional canvas dummy, they float well for water training so this is a good advantage too, but probably the best thing that I discovered is that during the ladies training days is that most of the female dog trainers can throw them better than they can through a traditional full sized canvas dummy.

"Dear Susie, many thanks for your help on the phone in ordering one of your super dog cushions for our van. They are brilliant, very tough so even though the dogs do a lot of scratching on them as they get comfy they don’t seem to mark, plus they are so easy to clean off, a brilliant product.You were confident in saying that my order would arrive before Thursday but it didn’t arrive Thursday ….but Monday, brilliant! Once again a very big THANK YOU, for a warm friendly, yet professional service. I just wish more companies were like this." Maddi Hicks |

I am thrilled with the quality of the bed and Shula spent all evening spread out in luxury on her own futon!! I only wish I had purchased from you sooner. Will recommend you to all my friends with dogs and hope to purchase another later in the year to have in the kitchen. Wonderful service. Many thanks. " Becky |

"I just wanted to pass on my comments about your product, the Kennelmate bed. I was worried my dog wouldn’t like it because it’s not in the donut shape she was use too. Well, I’ve put my worries aside because she absolutely loves it! She chooses to sleep on it and not the couch as the photo shows. And it stands up to her scratching!
Thanks for such a great product," Rebecca |
| "The last kennelmate beds are finally wearing out after 10 years!" Gemma |
| "Our past deerhounds had kennel mate beds for many years and although sadly they are no longer with us their beds are, with the new pup still looks good as new, the best beds ever." Celia |
| "I bought one of your dog bed covers at the Game Fair and it is a huge success. With a chunk of foam rubber stuffed tightly inside my chewer can’t seem to get hold of the cover - Yeesss!" Helen Sansome |
| "Thanks for my last order. Can't get the dogs out of bed in the morning! I am starting a boarding kennels so I am getting a couple more of your beds. I know the postage will be more than is shown on the order. Could you also send me 1 sheet of the non-slip fleece bedding in either blue or grey paw print when you have it back in stock." Barbara |
| "Having recently purchased a side by side lead from you i would like to say thankyou - it makes dog walking so much more enjoyable." Louise Lapworth |
| "You're a star. That's fine. Go ahead and send it on to me. Thanks for everything. They are fantastic quality beds. I have one dog who refuses to leave his kennelmate bed because he finds it so comfy!" Barbara |
| "A local gentleman lent us his side by side lead to try on our unruly German Sheppard after we had tried a Halti and half choke with no success. It’s like a miracle cure! So obviously we would like to buy one of our own." David Liley |
| "In a few weeks we will order a few new inner cushions from you as they are getting a bit flat. But we had 2 set of covers for each bed and they wash well and they don't wear out,they are the best dog beds we have ever had." Mark Chandler |
|
"Many thanks for the prompt service, the pet bed arrived earlier this morning. The beds are excellent, I have 2 in the house which I bought a few years ago plus another in the back of my car and I have now persuaded my husband to put one in the back of his car rather than the old bits of carpet etc that he uses (although he can have one of the older ones and I will keep the new one in the house!) The covers wash really well and dry very quickly and they keep their shape and do not go flat even after years of use. Excellent value for money." Deborah |
| "Just a quick note to say THANK YOU! The chocolate, jumbo bed arrived yesterday (4th) and it is perfect, just the job. The first greyhound on the bed thought it was a bouncy castle and went mad on it! All six dogs slept soundly on it last night. Many thanks." Lisa Rees |
| "Got the bed yesterday! BIG hit with my boy's, Bailey's and Bishop's finger. They didnt move once on it! Had to kick them out for their night time pee!" Angela Trevan |
