Old Clayton is a large professionally run Kennels and Cattery established in Washington, West Sussex, for over thirty years. Set in four acres of meadowland overlooking the South Downs yet less than half a mile from the A24; a major link road taking traffic from the South coast to London, Heathrow, Gatwick and the M25.

Our fully trained and experienced team of staff maintain complete dedication to the care and well being of all animals that stay with us. Alongside our boarding kennels and cattery, we also offer a wide range of additional services including dog training, grooming and re- homing rescue dogs. We also have a fully stocked pet food and accessory shop where we can offer a personal ordering service should you require anything that may be out of stock. We also have fully qualified staff to offer a micro chipping service.

While the majority of pets boarding with us settle in quickly and happily, it can be a confusing experience, therefore our staff are specially trained and experienced in helping newcomers settle in as quickly as possible. Our high ratio of staff to animals ensures we can spend lots of time with each new arrival and provide them with the highest standards of care throughout their stay.
