luxury boarding/dog kennels

VIP professional animal care attendants have only one goal in mind. DOGS. Maximum comfort, safety and enjoyment. Very Important Paws luxury kennels in Armagh have been designed to create a sense of home away from home. Soothing music pervades the venue throughout the day. Some dogs prefer to be out in one of our outdoor area’s, possibly playing fetch, tearing through our agility course or rolling through our ball pit, while others with less energy opt to relax. With their own in-suite televisions and a treat filled kong, they are more than happy to lay back, relax and watch a little animal planet or perhaps look for naughty Nemo.

Very Important Paws Armagh offer discounted prepaid boarding packages through our VIP loyalty scheme. These require a minimum of 20 nights, have no expiration date and are not subject to variable rate changes.

Day-Care - Stay, play & socialise all day!

Is your dog spending all day home alone? Concerned they may be getting a little separation anxiety? Very Important Paws, Armagh offers doggy day care for both small and large dogs designed for social dogs to interact, exercise and most importantly.. have fun! A wonderful outlet for dogs with excess energy.

Time is spent to plan each day carefully to ensure we create a positive atmosphere for your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your canine friend and even provide transport in one of our “skool buses’ if need be. When it comes to entertainment? VIP has your dog covered!

I've left my 2 year old choc lab, Lennie, into VIP several times now and cannot recommend them highly enough. The owners and team are professional and friendly and love all the dogs in their care. The renovated kennels look amazing and are designed to be as comfy as possible for their VIP guests! Lennie always returns home happily exhausted from all the exercise and fun he has on his holidays. There's also a great grooming service available. VIP team send updates which gives peace of mind. It's so reassuring to be able to leave Lennie somewhere I know he will be well looked after. 5 out of 5 rating for these fantastic kennels!
