Q. What vaccinations does my dog need before their stay with you?
A. Your dog needs to be vaccinated against Bordetella Bronchiseptica (kennel cough) at least 14 days before their stay with us, and also needs to be up to date with their yearly booster.
Q. What is kennel cough?
A. Bordetella Bronchiseptica, also known as ‘kennel cough’ is basically the common cold to dogs, and despite its name can be contracted wherever your dog comes into contact with other dogs – so as well as in kennels it can be caught at the vets, in the park etc.
The vaccine for kennel cough is administered by your vet in the form of a nasal spray, and will last 12 months. While the vaccine will not prevent all types of coughs/flu ( just like the flu-jab for humans) it will protect your dog from the main strains.
Q. What time can I drop my dog off on the first day of their stay?
A. We are open for drop offs between 8:30am and 4pm Monday-Friday and 9am-4pm Saturday and Sunday.
Q. What do I need to bring with me when I drop off my dog?
A. All you really need is your dog(s), their collar and lead, and their vaccination card, as well as any medication they have been prescribed. We are able to provide all their food, bedding, toys and anything else they should need during their stay. However if your dog has a favourite blanket, toy or some special treats that you think your dog might enjoy while they are with us, then please feel free to bring them with you.
Q. Is there a discount for more than one dog in the same room?
A. Yes there are discounts for rooms booked out for more than one dog, please see our online price list for further details.
Q. My dog needs quite a lot of exercise is it possible for him to have extra walks?
A. Yes, we offer an upgrade package for active dogs, which gets your dog upgraded to an extra walk per day during their stay with us (please see our latest tariffs for the upgraded package rates).
Q. What hours are you open for viewing the accommodation?
A. We are open for viewings every day. Whilst we are happy to show visitors around any time during the day the best time for us is between 11am and 4pm – this just helps us to complete morning walks/cleaning and get dogs ready for going home that day, and ensures we have got plenty time to show you around and answer any queries. You can either drop in between those times or if you wish to make an appointment please just give us a call.
Q. Are you open over the Christmas period and other bank holidays?
A. Yes we are open for boarding 365 days a year. Over the Christmas period we close for arrivals and departures at midday on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and close for the whole day on Christmas Day and New Years Day. We are also closed for collections/drop offs on Easter Sunday.
Q. Do I need to leave a deposit?
A. We take a deposit of £30 or 35% for single rooms and £50 or 35% for double/family rooms at the time of booking in order to secure your dog’s room for the dates you require. The remaining balance is then paid when you collect your dog at the end of their stay. Prices are per dog, per day which includes the day on arrival and includes the day of departure.
