your dog does not need to be vaccinated against Kennel Cough.
We ask that your dog has been treated for worms and fleas
two weeks prior to boarding.
Q. Does my dog need to be microchipped?
A. YES! All the dogs we look after have very responsible owners
and their dogs are all microchipped. Each time a dog comes
to stay with us we scan the dog to make sure the chip is still
working as it should be. As the new microchipping law is coming
in to force April 2016 we will now ask that not only are all
the dogs microchipped but we will also need to ensure their
details are up to date and registered with a microchip database.
When your pet was microchipped you may have been given a registration
form to send off to a national database such as Petlog, Anibase
etc. In return you will have been sent a certificate of your
dogs microchip number, including identification, pet and owners
details. Each time you use our Dog Boarding Service you will
now need to bring these details with you so we can check them
before the service commences.

a suitable time to meet so we can discuss any questions you
may have.

A. Yes, as part of our licensing agreement set by the Local
Authority you dog must wear a collar at all times with one
of our identity tags.

A. No. We do not accept dogs with any aggressive tendencies
or that are not house trained, or incontinent, or that are
likely to chew furniture, or dogs that are boisterous or not
under control. We do NOT offer a service for banned breeds
including Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Fila Braziliero,

A. Sorry but we do not board any female or males dogs over
the age of 9 months that have not been neutered or spayed,
or bitches in season. While an un-neutered dog may be completely
docile and non aggressive by itself, they cannot control the
effect their scent has on other dogs in our home.
