Unknown

Cotsbrook Farm Buildings, Higford, Shifnal, Shropshire, TF11 9ES · Service area: Shifnal, Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Bridgnorth

K9 Anytime (Higford) in short

K9 Anytime (Higford) runs daycare, hotel boarding, grooming and training from converted farm buildings at Higford near Shifnal, dating itself back over a decade [1] [2]. Overnight guests sleep in heated bedrooms with round-the-clock staff and CCTV, spending their days socialising [2]. For a dog that already spends days there, this review finds boarding on the same site the main draw.

Customer reviews are the strongest in the table: the Google record stands at 4.9 from 301 reviews, the only public review source we hold [3]. The hotel page prints its Shropshire Council licence number with a five-star rating [2].

What counts against K9 Anytime (Higford) is thin paperwork online: no prices appear on the site and insurance runs to a headline statement with no amounts [1] [2]. Our judgement is that it suits Shifnal-side owners wanting one site for day and night.
