We provide all bedding and beds themselves, in winter. We always try to provide our own bedding as when the fields of muddy. It’s very difficult to wash Owner’s bedding. Every day we have to washroom is here, and we replenish the bedding every day with our own.

We are happy to administer routine medication or supplements. We are unable to look after pets with life-threatening conditions, such as diabetes or epilepsy.

We don’t have a specific age limit, but pets must be fit and well. If we feel that your pet may not cope in a kennel environment due to age or temperament we will, of course be very clear about this.
Can we drop our pets off earlier than your specified times?
This can be arranged by prior permission from the owner, but may not always be possible.
How far in advance do you need to book for boarding?
At peak times we have bookings nine months to 12 months in advance. If you haven’t booked for July and August summer holidays by around March time it may be difficult to accommodate your booking. Easter, Christmas and October school holidays also book up way in advance.

We require dog and cat vaccinations to be up-to-date as per veterinary recommendation. There are no additional vaccinations that are required for boarding.
Kennel cough vaccination is not insisted upon. If you do wish to for your pets to be vaccinated against kennel cough, this must be done six weeks prior to the commencement of your booking.
Do you need a deposit for boarding?
We operate an online booking system, when placing a booking you may be asked for either a 50% deposit or 100% payment in advance. This is especially important at peak times.

Your dog doesn’t need to be neutered to stay with us, but we will ask specific details about your dogs behaviour and when their last season was so we can make sure that they are suitable to be exercised in our groups.
