K9 Friends

Established in 1998, K9 Friends has been providing exceptional dog care services in Livingston, Scotland, for over 27 years. Founded by Jacqui Turnbull, a City and Guilds-qualified dog groomer since 2011, we specialise in home boarding and grooming, offering a professional alternative to kennels. Our services are built on decades of experience, a deep understanding of canine needs, and a commitment to treating every dog with the love and attention they deserve. Located in a 4-bedroom detached house with a third of an acre of grounds, we provide a true home-from-home environment, ensuring dogs receive two daily walks, cuddles, and care. Our premises are licensed by West Lothian Council and regularly audited for animal welfare compliance, with full insurance coverage.

We limit boarding to a maximum of four dogs at a time to maintain a personalised, stress-free environment. Our grooming salon offers one-on-one appointments, including free health checks and tailored trims, with a focus on small to medium breeds. Recognised with multiple awards, including Best Dog Home Boarding Service in West Lothian (2023, 2025) and Dog Groomer of the Year (2023), we combine expertise with genuine compassion. Clients benefit from regular WhatsApp updates during boarding stays, ensuring peace of mind while away. With over 80 five-star Google reviews, our reputation is built on trust, reliability, and a lifelong passion for dogs, rooted in Jacquis upbringing on a farm where her father bred and trained collies for international competitions.
