Can I ask what everyone is doing with their family pets? We have a dog and although I'd love him to be at the wedding our venue does not allow pets, so we have the dilemma of what to do with him on the day/night of because literally everyone we know or would trust will be at the wedding. He's never been to kennels and I don't think I'd feel comfortable putting him in one as he's a creature of habbit. Thanks!
Would he be okay if someone went in to check on him in the evening then left and no one was there again till morning? Some dogs would be, otherwise maybe could you ask a neighbour? Xx
Dog sitters can come to your house and sit there. We put our dog in a ladies home who does boarding in her home. He loves it
Although our venue does welcome pets we've thought it best to put our dog with a dog sitter ... a lovely fully licensed person who takes care of them in her home, no kennels or cages and lots of walks ... google dog sitters in your area and check reviews x
Somebody's going to go back and check on mine after the sit down meal before the evening do starts and then they'll be okay for a couple of hrs until my mam goes back, as she'll be watching our daughter and dogs while we stay in the hotel for a night x
Dog sitter
I'd say get a pet sitter. There are some fab people who will look after your dog in the comfort of its own home.
Go dog sitter, they can come to you or you baby can go to them, we have a lady who is brilliant and he loves going to see her
My friend put her dog with a dog sitter. She then asked the dog sitter to bring him for a short while so they could get photos with him xxx
At my cousins wedding last year, one of my aunties also has dogs and their dog stayed at hers and she went back after the meal to feed and let them out quickly and then came back for the evening and went back at the end so their dog was taken care of without having to worry but if you don't have that option then a licensed dog sitter might be good, someone who can stay at your place so your dog is in familiar surroundings :)
We have a rescue who got stressed in the kennels in the few days she was there so we wouldn't want to stress her out, we aren't allowed to take her to the church but we can at the venue so she is coming with a colour co-ordinated collar/bow.
We sneaked my nans dog in after the meal used an over sized shopping bag and put her in my nans room, ppl then took it in turns to check her xx

Our dog is coming to be the ring bearer then some photos, then we're having him picked up before the wedding breakfast. We're using a company called Barking Mad who are going to have him for a few days after the wedding too, they look after dogs in their own home. Xx
Me and my h2b are putting our dog in a kennel (sorry about spelling) day before wedding, day of and day after wedding. X
planning on taking mine to a dog sitter my dog gets separation anxiety so my pooch needs a homely environment so finding people who have dog boarding in their homes
Mine went to his dog walkers house for the day/night- he loved it! If you don't have one maybe check out local options, quite a few people offer dog sitting at their house or yours rather than kennels. Maybe could do a couple of nights trial runs before x
Aw that's a shame. If your venue is local maybe a family member or friend can sneak back a few times? I'll be doing that on my wedding day as we have a cat who we would keep in for the whole day. X
We're going to get a dog sitter so they can stay at home where they're happy x
I don't know where you are, but in my area of Reading, I take my dog to a guy that I like to call the Dog Whisperer! He is amazing with all types of dogs which he keeps on his own land. My dog is a moody so & so who doesn't do change & she's old! He was brilliant with her
I met him when my local kennels shut down unexpectedly and I was going on holiday. He has very reasonable rates. He will take a dog for a day or longer if required. We left my mums puppy with him recently!
Pm me if you require more information ; if not good luck with your wedding & your search

We got a pet sitter to stay at our house the night to look after them. Much more comfortable in their own environment.
