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.
