The kennels were re-built about 10 years ago, and our dog boarding facilities now include brick and tile kennels with concrete floors.  Walls between each kennel are brick construction varying in height from ½ metre to 1+1/2 metres depending on the size and breed of dog boarding within each kennel.  The remainder of the internal walls are mesh construction from the brick wall to the ceiling.  The internal mesh walls allow for good ventilation throughout the kennel building, which helps prevent any incidents of kennel cough.

Doors to each kennel are mesh construction with a secured walkway between the front of each kennel and the common grassed exercise yard.  The secured mesh walkway acts a barrier protecting the kennelled dogs from the dogs exercising outside in the common grassed exercise yards.  This barrier again helps prevent any incidents of kennel cough by preventing dogs outside upsetting the peace and quiet enjoyment of the kennelled dogs.

A combination of the kennel’s construction and fencing together with the systems in place regarding the staff's and boarding dog's interaction with each other all work together in maintaining a stress free environment for the boarding guests and prevention of any kennel cough diseases.

Each kennel consists of trampoline beds with bedding & toys provided, but if you should bring along your dog’s favourite blanket or their toys we are only too happy to line their beds with their scents and your scents, to help make their stay more familiar!  

The dogs are outside both mornings and afternoons for play sessions, etc in the common grassed exercise yards.  Where possible we place the dogs in playgroups with similar dogs for socialisation and fun! And company!  Sometimes, some dogs are not sociable and play in the yards on their own or interact through the fences with other dogs in adjacent exercise yards.

During the middle of the day the dogs are all kennelled and the main meal of the day is served.  (Late arrivals in the afternoon are always fed upon entry)  Dogs with special needs may have two to three meals a day depending on their needs.  Dry food is always left in the kennel to self-feed, but the main wet meal is served at lunch.

This “wet meal” varies from cooked chicken mince with rice, lentils & garlic, or fish, oils & garlic, or eggs, oils & garlic.  The dry foods are chicken & corn based.  Chicken sausage, raw chicken necks/wings and raw soft brisket bones are offered to our boarding guests.  Those boarders on special diets are catered for governed by your instructions
upon entry.  On arrival, our staff will discuss the eating habits of your dog and this information is recorded on their nametags for further reference.

Kennels are continually cleaned throughout the day, and any soiled bedding is replaced daily.

Any medication is administered daily, including insulin injections to our diabetic charges.

Long-term boarders are bathed regularly as part of our caring regime.  All boarders receive a complimentary bath after 4 days of boarding.  Any 3-day boarding or less dogs are groomed and coats are de-odorised.  If you should wish your dog to have a hydrobath & groom please inform the staff upon entry, where the 3-day or less boarders will receive a discount for their bath.

Grooming facilities are available by appointment.  We cater of all dog and cat breeds.   Prices for grooms are noted on our Grooming Facilities page.

Music throughout the day adds to the ambience and “home-stay” experience for our canine guests!  Lots of recognition and chats;  lots of hugs and kisses complete the boarding experience with a “sea of wagging-tails” and “tongue hanging smiles” reciprocated!
