Dog kennels centre in Forfar under investigation

An Angus dog boarding and kennels centre has been placed under investigation after “a number of complaints” were lodged with the council.

Happas Canine Centre, in Forfar, had its premises inspected along with the SSPCA, as part of an “ongoing investigation”.

The council has not revealed what the complaints against the kennels were, but concerns had been aired on social media.

An Angus Council spokesperson said: “Angus Council has received a number of complaints with regards to a kennels business in the Forfar area and our Animal Health Officer has visited and inspected the premises along with colleagues from the SSPCA as part of an ongoing investigation.”

In response, Happas Canine Centre told Angus & The Mearns: “The SSPCA has been in and found no problem.

“The licensing people have been here and there is no issue.”

The Canine Times contacted Happas Canine Centre but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
