Dog Boarding - More Information

We aim to make your dogs stay with us as comfortable and pleasant as possible with a view that they are on holiday with us whilst you are on yours. Please find below details of your dogs stay to put your mind at rest.

The Kennels

Each kennel has a 2mx2m sleeping area in which has thermostatically controlled underfloor heating, so when the weather drops cooler your dog gets the benefit of a heat source that will give an ambient room temperature. Through a sliding hatch there is a further 3mx2m covered run that looks out onto the play paddock. We provide beds and vet bedding, bowls and an appropriate food for your dog included in the price of their stay.

If you wish you are welcome to bring any favourite blanket, toy or bedding with you if you feel it will help your dog settle and feel at home in our kennels.

Feed

We use Skinners which is a premium dry food in the kennels as it is what we also feed our own working Border Collies. There is an option of Maintenance (non fussy adult dogs) , Grain free, Hypoallergenic (for allergy prone dogs), Junior (for dogs up to 18 months old), Muesli mix (for those who like something a bit different), Light and Senior (for those who are a bit older or need to slim down a little).

All these we can mix with tinned meat if that is what your dog is used to at home, again hypoallergenic and sensitive tummy options are available.

If your dog is on a medicated diet or if you preferred they stayed on their own brand of feed feel free to bring it with you for your dogs stay with feeding instructions.

Exercise and play

Each dog is let out of the kennel at least twice a day for either a walk on a lead in our fields on home farmland or into the secure play paddock. Depending on whether your dog enjoys the company of canines and if you choose to give permission, either of these may be with other dogs. If not they still receive the same level of attention.

We provide a variety of toys, treats and puzzle toys to keep your dogs mind busy during rest time in the kennels.
