K9 Anytime (Higford) in short
K9 Anytime (Higford) runs daycare, hotel boarding, grooming and training from converted farm buildings at Higford near Shifnal [1]. Overnight guests sleep in heated bedrooms with round-the-clock staff and CCTV, spending their days socialising. The business dates itself back over a decade. For a dog that already spends days there, this review finds boarding on the same site the main draw.
The wider record shows a business built around both its sites, pairing daycare with hotel boarding plus grooming and training, with induction running through the site booking route [1]. It serves Shifnal first, with Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth around it, and the Google listing pins the Higford farm base with its listed phone number [3]. Training and grooming share the same site, which explains the paddocks beside the hotel bedrooms. Both sites share the same booking route and contact page.
Customer reviews are the strongest in the table: the held Google record stands at 4.9 from a deep base of reviews, the only public review source held [3]. The hotel page prints its Shropshire Council licence number with a five-star rating. No other house in the round approaches that volume of reviews.
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]. Our judgement is that it suits Shifnal-side owners wanting one site for day and night.
Our verdict
Our judgement: K9 Anytime suits you if you want daycare and overnight boarding on one supervised Shifnal site, with a stated 5-star council licence and 301 Google reviews behind it [1] [2] [3]. What counts against it is thin paperwork online: no published prices and no insurance detail beyond the headline statement [1] [2].
