To safeguard the well-being of every guest, we mandate that all dogs arrive free from contagious diseases and ticks. We complement this with a courtesy frontline treatment to prevent ticks, maintaining a stress-free and healthy environment for all.

Our state-of-the-art kennels are designed to cater to the needs of dogs of all sizes, with spacious play areas and secure lodging. Each kennel is built with high-quality materials (blockwork, galvanised steel mesh, concrete floors) and equipped with clean, comfortable hammock beds and large water bowls.

For our larger guests, we offer shaded, roofed kennels with fans and access to vast exercise yards, while our smaller guests enjoy a dedicated area perfect for both socialising and private exercise. We require proof of vaccination for all dogs and kindly ask owners to nominate a veterinary practice for any potential needs during their stay. Adherence to our strict drop-off and collection times is appreciated, as it helps us maintain the tranquillity of our surroundings for our neighbours.

At Bees Creek Boarding Kennels, we are more than just a boarding facility. We are a haven of happiness and health for your dog. Trust us to provide a memorable, happy and healthy stay for your cherished companion.
