Saar Kennels is a second home to our Alaskan Malamute – Joey. We had tried couple of other kennels before coming to Saar kennel and what we loved about this place was that Joey was the happiest during his stay here. This was a couple of years back and there was no looking back. Even if it is for a weekend holiday, Joeys play-time or a month vacation, Saar Kennel is our Go-To place.! During our vacations, we appreciated that they are easy to communicate and keep us posted about Joeys staycation, eliminating our stress of leaving him behind. All of the staff are exceptionally kind and understanding, as well as highly professional. Joey loves giving them his huge hugs and they happily receive his 42 kg hug without any complaints 😉 Other than boarding, we use their grooming services as well, which is an excellent and a great value for money.! They make us feel like we are part of the Saar Kennel family – we have recommended Saar Kennel to many of our friends, and I’m sure we will continue to do so, as they are the best in town.!

5/12/18, 6 years at SKI can’t thank you enough for the wonderful care you take whilst looking after our beloved cats Theo and Leo.

5/12/18, 3 years at SKSaar kennels is a brilliant holiday spot for my girls! They love being there as much as the staff love them. The place is always clean, the staff are always friendly and most importantly to me, my dogs (one of whom is nervous) are always happy to go in. We also love going to Starbarks when the weather is a bit hot, great shady spot to let the dogs burn off some energy while I get a coffee. I wouldn’t want to leave my girls anywhere else. Thank you Saar Kennels

6/12/18, 3 years at SKOur two dogs have stayed many times over the past three years, and the care they receive has always been excellent. Ad-hoc emergency trips to the vets when necessary, sending us videos and photos of the dogs whilst we are away, to the warm friendly service of the staff. Leaving your pets for weeks at a time can be difficult, but knowing they are receiving great care makes this far easier to do so. Thanks

6/12/18, 4 years at SKMy cat has some peculiar habits which Saar Kennels has taken in their stride every time he stays with them. They are loving towards him and treat him like family. Their new facilities are modern, clean and professional. I had used other kennels before finding Saar Kennels The Pet Hotel & Spa and none of them felt as nice as this one from the first moment I walked in. Thank you….

6/12/18, 5 years at SKWe are really happy to have the Saar Pet Hotel and Spa taking care of Baloo and Pink Our two fluff-balls are boarding here for years now whenever we are travelling for a couple of days. The team is great and is sending us updates and pictures during the stay (Webcam is also an option, but we have not used it so far). We are confident that our cats are doing well when with you. The big windows, the playtime in the cat play area for sure adds to their wellbeing. When picking them up after a stay at your place both are always very relaxed and have never lost weight. Seems to be a little vacation for them as well.Thanks Suhaila and team for treating our two little friends as if they would be your own, we will keep bring them to your ‘cat spa’. Happy Anniversary

8/12/18, 2 years at SKSaar Kennels are truly are what they brand communicate. They’re not a kennel in traditional sense.

8/12/18I would recommend SAAR Kennels. Our dog Leila loves going there for play days. She gets very excited when it’s her day to go there, from when she wakes up that morning. She even wants to go visit her friends when we are out on our walks. All the staff are very good with her.

12/12/18, 2 years at SKWe love lourd the groomer best on the island! Our cat Missy doesn’t like many people but she loves him no one can groom her but he can VERY EASILY. Everytime we pick her up she is happy she comes homes healthy and although she is nervous when she checks in she is happy when she goes for boarding she loves the outside play area jungle and loves the windows. We never worry and know she is safe and sound.

But you always make me feel better with pictures and the pet camera is an excellent new feature. The garden Starbarks is perfect we come for coffee mornings and our dogs love the playtime. We think you are much more than a kennel the best in Bahrain for my kids.

April 2014Cannot thank Saar Kennel enough for treating our 11 year old Bichon Frise dog (Buddy) like he was their only border the past 4 months, although they were at full capacity, Suhaila & Jean-Paul including their attentive and caring staff gave us a ‘Peace of Mind’ and significantly reduced our guilt having to leave him behind. Buddy has been part of our family since he was 8 weeks old and have only left him behind for a couple of weeks max in the past. Saar Kennel (AKA Doggy Paradise) not only has professional staff, but it is the caring they provided in a very clean environment plus the interaction Buddy had with his friends same size during his stay several times a day. Buddy’s age has him on a special diet yet is still very active. Saar Kennel would email me on a regular basis, also providing photos. The emails had the added touch giving us such reassurance he was being very well cared for. On the weekends that my husband was able to pick him up, Buddy was very happy to return to his friends at the end of the weekend, and could not wait to get out of the car and run around the yard. I have no reservation to highly recommend Saar Kennel to anyone having to bored their dog for a short or long term stay.
Kim (Buddy's mom)
Aug 2015Our 3 cats have been boarding here for years, the experienced staff always look after them so well, and the windows are great. The cats are always happy when we pick them up and sometimes don’t want to leave.

January 2014I have left my 2 MinPins here numerous times and they love it! Clean and happy place for them with plenty of TLC. I don’t worry knowing they are in good hands.
Yaz F.
November 2014Skipper the cattle dog has stayed here many times and seems to do well. My cat Noel has boarded once or twice and loves the cat apartments. We recommend SK to others who ask.
Dianne R.
Feb 2015Our family have been customers for going on 10 years now, our dogs are happiest boarding here. Always look good and healthy when we pick them up and they are very fit too from all the play time! Highly recommended to pet owners on the island, worth the cost for the peace of mind and level of care you get.
Z.H.
December 2013Sushi was scared of everything I brought him to the Hotel for daycare socialisation . Amazing he was so good made friends and was so happy to go back every day! Not worried about him anymore when I go for holiday he is safe and happy staying with you guys. Thanks

January 2014We were a bit concerned at first with the kennel being under ‘new management’ but we have been so glad to see the improvements you’ve made. We are very happy with the services here our pets are always happy and we have never had any problems, my husband and I have recommended you to many friends. Thank you for keeping this place open and improving it 🙂

October 2015Professional and knowledgeable people. Glad to see a place that feeds quality pet food instead of cheap stuff. We are very happy that your pet food is stored in cool rooms and each bag is fresh every time. Our dogs and cat had the ALS and Grain Free formulas when they came to stay, we kept them on it and have not looked back.
Frank and Lisa M.
September 2015Spent years researching good quality pet foods, checking 100s of pet food reviews. My wife found Canidae and we have loved it for our pets ever since, especially for our old boy Chillie he loves your Grain Free Salmon formula. We use the Home Delivery, it is very convenient for us living so far away!
John and Helen
October 2015Many times when I pick up Jess she runs past me to the office and straight to the staff.. I don’t mind I know they take such good care of her! I go on vacation missing my girl but I always get pictures and videos so I never worry! Thank you so much x

Attilia family
September 2014My mixed breed dogs are not friendly with anyone other than my family, but amazingly when I came back to pick them up after their vacation with you, they were walking on the lead had their ears cleaned and nails done and were being petted by your staff! I am still amazed! Clearly you all have a way with the animals as I’ve never seen my babies so calm and happy..Wow!
Sheila S.
January 2015Our pets always been happy there we like that the staff are helpful polite and knowledgeable about dogs and cats. Staff told us about some behavioural issues and helped us change Charlie’s bad habits. Now we have much better behaved dogs… Thank you to the staff for your honesty.

July 2015Sky Isabelle and Kimi love it here the girls always look so fluffy and happy when I pick them up, seen the hotel rooms after so long and love it, dogs have windows and have such nice bedding, rooms are clean, girls are happy. Best place we have seen, consistent with it’s service!
Carol
Mar 2014Our dog, Buddy and cats Mouse and Kitkat have tried many places, we found they are happiest here. They love the wonderful staff enjoy the rooms and comforts. I’ve seen Bud loving playtime with the staff running around and playing fetch, and the two trouble makers (mouse and kitykat) get cuddled petted brushed and every time we pick them up they look so fluffy and happy! We give this place top marks, excellent! Would like to see cat shaving available though..
Maria Adam and kidos
May 2015Every time we take Isabelle there (our Saluki) she is so happy to get groomed, she just lays on the table after her bath and waits to be blow dried! Legs up and takes a nap! Amazing she never does that at home!
Marta S.M.
August 2015Binta is a mix with a strange wire coat, we love her but brushing is difficult. Thank God we found you! Her coat is softer and more manageable thank you for suggesting the styled trim much more hygienic!
Irina & Hynek
March 2015Wanted a shorter shave for Mini, but when I told groomer they took more off. Had to wait longer but was worth it she came out clean and beautiful
Maddi
July 2015Angel always looks so happy and double her size when we pick her up. The blow dry makes her look twice as big and the kids love how soft and nice smelling she is after the spa! Thank you
Elaine G.
I recommend the coat stripping treatment. Takes off dead hair makes drake shed less less pet hair to clean up. Will come back again.
