Dog Boarding
Our purpose-built kennels provide a secure, comfortable environment for dogs during their stay. Each kennel includes individual heating, access to private runs, and secure play areas. Dogs receive twice-daily exercise tailored to their socialisation needs, with options for separate or group play. The facility maintains rigorous hygiene standards and accommodates dietary and medical requirements under professional supervision.
Dog Washing
Our fully equipped grooming parlour offers professional bath and brush services for resident and non-resident dogs. Experienced staff use high-quality products to ensure gentle, thorough cleaning while prioritising pet comfort. The service includes coat conditioning, odour removal, and attention to sensitive areas, leaving dogs fresh and well-groomed. Each session lasts approximately one hour, with appointments available daily during opening hours.
Daycare Service
The daycare service provides supervised care for dogs needing daytime attention while owners are occupied. Pets enjoy structured play, socialisation opportunities, and rest periods in a safe environment. Staff monitor interactions to ensure compatibility and well-being, with access to shaded areas and hydration stations. This service suits dogs requiring temporary care without overnight accommodation, maintaining consistent routines and social engagement.
Vaccination Compliance
We enforce strict vaccination protocols to protect all animals in our care. Dogs must present updated vaccination records, including annual boosters and kennel cough protection administered ten days prior to boarding. Our team verifies documentation upon arrival and advises on worming and flea treatments. This policy ensures a healthy environment, minimising disease transmission risks while maintaining regulatory compliance and client trust.
Collection/Delivery Service
For added convenience, we offer a collection and delivery service within specified areas. This service accommodates clients unable to transport pets personally, ensuring stress-free arrivals and departures. Additional charges apply based on distance and timing, with bookings required in advance. Our staff handles animals gently during transit, maintaining safety protocols and providing updates to owners throughout the process.
