If You're New to Long Dog Hotel ...
No need to sniff around — the pages below will show you the way
Inspired by Millie Moo
Inspired by our very own Millie Moo — tiny, brave, and full of opinions — we’ve shaped a space built around comfort, calm, and dachshund‑level wisdom. Her IVDD journey taught us the magic of slow movements, gentle hands, and really listening to what a sausage dog is trying to tell you… even when they’re telling you with side‑eye.
Why Choose Us?
Because your dachshund deserves a place that gets them — the confidence, the quirks, the dramatic flops, and the “I’m‑not‑moving‑until‑you‑carry‑me” moments. At Long Dog Hotel, they step into a peaceful, nurturing home where care is thoughtful, gentle, and tailored to who they are.
And with plenty of experience supporting mild to moderate IVDD, families who need that extra understanding can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their warrior is in calm, capable hands.
People choose us because we’re not a kennel — we’re a home. A place where routines matter, quirks are celebrated, and your pup is genuinely cared for.
Everything you need to know before booking — requirements, suitability, what to pop in your dachshund’s suitcase, and all the ways we keep our long guests safe and happy.
A simple, sausage‑friendly rundown of our services and prices — clear, calm, and easy to sniff through.
Your cheerful little roadmap to becoming part of the Long Dog Hotel crew.

Where to Start..
We Welcome
The bold sausages, the bashful sausages, the elderly snoozy sausages, the anxious velcro sausages, the dramatic floppers, the “I like my routines just so” sausages, the gentle souls, the cheeky charmers, and the IVDD warriors who need a softer, slower pace.
If your dachshund loves calm voices, cosy corners, predictable rhythms, and someone who understands their long‑dog ways, they’ll feel right at home here.
What Our Families Say...
⭐ Hannah ⭐
P&D have had a trial stay with Auntie Sausage and the girls ready for a 2 week stay next year. Auntie Sausage gives the boys all the care, cuddles kisses and attention if not more than they would get at home. Its very far away for us but worth it to know our boys are in very good hands especially having an IVDD warrior that Auntie Sausage knows how to care for. Cant wait for their next stay!
⭐ Carmina ⭐
A wonderful lady who is full of love for dachshunds and especially for those who suffer with IVDD. Auntie Sausage will send constant updates and videos which are great and made me feel reassured. Her property and grounds are safe and secure. My Lupa suffers with ivdd and Auntie Sausage was totally on the ball when it came to her care in the house or out whilst walking. Lupa is also needy and anxious and again Auntie Sausage was full of warmth and cuddles. Highly recommend.
