Some good advice there fourcourners, thanks. I think I'll also take over a report/testimonial from our vet to indicate the type of owners we are, the fact that all animals are spayed (i.e. no breeding going on), the fact that they're all healthy with required vaccines, and report on size/ages to show that the dogs are all relatively small and three of them quite old, so no chance of chewing things, doing anything in the house, etc.

Nice, thanks Paul. I've heard good things, so will have a good look!

Will check out Cambridgeshire, thank you. At this point I'm looking for dog-friendly areas (with decent garden space) to at least narrow things down. And then yes, it's about coming to an agreement with the landlord. I'm happy to pay an additional deposit too, just want to identify a couple of key areas that'll work first.

Good point, so let me ask it a different way. For around £400/week, what area in the SE would give the best value for money when considering outdoor space/garden, while not sacrificing safety (i.e. a good area with good neighbours).

I think making (real) friends is always difficult, especially as we get older.

Hi guys Does anyone else have a large extended animal family? We have four dogs and two cats (yes, I know!) and would look to buy a detached home in Kent (even if the commute is longer, to give us as much space as possible) when we've been there for a couple of years. To start with though, we're going to have to rent. What areas in the SE are known to have pet-friendly attitudes to rentals, with large gardens to run in around in? Thanks very much
