We provide bedding to ensure your dog has a cosy and restful stay, bowls for food and water and a comfortable temperature controlled room suited to your dog’s needs.
We ask that you bring your dog’s lead and food and treats to ensure they stay on their regular diet while in our care. We ask all our owners to ensure that all leads and harnesses provided are the correct size for their dog.
Your dog’s own food must be supplied by you, clearly labelled as to how much is given at each feed and the time(s) of any feed. Please provide the correct amount of feed only, no large bags of feed, unless required for your dog’s stay. A measure for your dog’s food is required if it is not pre-bagged. We do not require bowls. Please note that dogs may be off their food for the first couple of days of boarding while they adjust to their new environment. Dogs sometimes lose weight during boarding. This is normally due to the increase in exercise levels when staying with other dogs.
Yes, your dog’s bed/blankets can be brought but we require that are clean and washed prior to arrival. You are also welcome to bring any toys that may help settle them in although we caution they may be damaged by play with other guests and we will not be responsible for their replacement!
