Please ensure your pets arrive in a safe manner, dogs on a lead and cats and small animals in a safe carrier.
Our reception is open for drop-offs and collections from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday and 9am to 12 midday on Sunday. Please note our reception is closed on bank holidays, therefore pet check-ins and collections cannot be made on the standard public bank holidays.
On arrival your pet will be registered with us if this is a first time visit, and/or their details checked for any updates if they are a returning guest. The details logged must include:
All pets must be fully vaccinated, including infectious tracheobronchitis (kennel cough) for dogs. An up to date certificate must be produced upon arrival. Entry will be refused if vaccinations are not up to date. Please note, your dog will not be able to enter our kennels for the 14 days following their annual kennel cough application. If you are unsure of the general requirements please check with your vet more than 2 weeks prior to boarding. Puppies and kittens are welcome 14 days after their final vaccine. Please note that the infectious bronchitis vaccine does not give 100% protection against tracheobronchitis (kennel cough) and we will not be liable if your pet catches kennel cough. Cats and dogs must also be flea'd and wormed prior to boarding.
We recommend that Rabbits are vaccinated against Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD). The Myxomatosis vaccine should be given every 6 months, and the VHD vaccine annually. Please ask your vet for more details about both vaccines.
All animals will be examined on arrival, any animal showing signs of internal parasites (fleas, worms etc) will be treated accordingly and a charge levied for this. We also reserve the right to refuse admission to any pet which, in our opinion, is showing signs of ill health.
If your pet has any existing medical condition, any medication they need should be supplied with clear written instructions. Do ensure that you have provided sufficient medication for the boarding period. If the medication runs out you agree for us to purchase further supplies on your behalf and for you to reimburse us for any expenses incurred.
In the event of an emergency, we have the authority to make important healthcare related decisions on your behalf in the instance that you cannot be contacted, and the matter is an animal welfare issue, in collaboration with our partnered vets. Any necessary veterinary costs will be your responsibility to settle directly with the vet practice concerned. However, where possible you will be contacted in the first instance in order for you to collect your pet and seek your own vet services.
We stock a range of foods which are included in the price. You are welcome to bring your own foods, however this does not alter the daily price. We reserve the right to provide a suitable alternative feed to the one provided or selected from our pet food menu, if we experience stocking and/or supply issues preventing provision of the first choice feed.
You do not need to bring your own food bowls or water bowls as we provide these for all our pet guests.
Everything that your pet needs for their stay is provided, however if you want to bring some familiar toys or blankets, then please do. However, please note we can take no responsibility for loss or damage to any bedding, leads, toys etc, that may be supplied. At the end of your pets stay and upon collection, we respectfully ask that all personal belongings, pet bedding, toys etc, are taken home.
The daily rate charged is from the day of admission to the day of departure, inclusive. This is a per day charge, not a per night charge. In the event of early collection, the original booked and reserved day/dates are still payable in full as this covers the full exclusive period you have reserved for your pet, to the exclusion of other pets and customers.
All payments are required to be made in full upon collection of your pet(s).

Please note, your dog will not be able to enter our kennels for 14 days after their annual kennel cough application.

We offer an additional optional extra one to one dog walking service whilst your pet is with us. Please see web site for prices.
All dogs will be walked on the lead and on our paddock.
Your dogs own lead, collar, harness or other dog walking equipment will be provided by you and must be in good working order.
The walker will apply personal judgement and cut short a walk if necessary because of extreme weather conditions e.g heat, storms etc. At times of persistent wet and inclement weather, the walk planned for that day may be cancelled at short notice and in that event, no additional walk charge will be made.
If you have not pre-arranged dog walking with your booking and would like your dog to be walked during boarding, please ask for this service to be added during arrival check in.
We have free car parking for drop off and collection of your pet. Please ensure your pet is under control and that pets and minors are not allowed to escape onto our main road frontage.
Your pet is your responsibility until a member of staff has taken them from you following the checking in process at reception.
