Hygiene and Vaccinations
We also have a isolation unit so that if any dog becomes ill in its stay it can stay in the unit which is away from the main kennels so it is quieter. This can also help to prevent any other dogs becoming sick if the illness is contractible.
The kennels are under 24 hour supervision, with our vet also on 24 hour call.
The council state all vaccinations must be completed 4 weeks before boarding, as this is the maximum time necessary for vaccines to become effective, a shorter period is accepted if veterinary evidence is provided based on manufacturers instructions.

Vaccines Required:
- The yearly boosters which protects them from Canine Distemper, Parvovirus and Canine Hepatitis which are life-threatning diseases
- The Kennel Cough vaccine. Kennel cough spreads within the air from an infected dog to another dog which can be caught anywhere eg. vets and parks. Kennel cough can not be caught within kennels unless a dog with the infection has boarded the kennels and has spread the disease. The kennel cough vaccine must be administered 2 weeks before the dog is boarding with us as it is a live vaccine and can still spread during this time.
- All dogs must also be up to date with their fleaing and worming.

Hygiene is a major factor so all the kennels and runs are meticulously cleaned every day and in-between each stay the kennels are scrubbed and hosed out. We use a hygienic disposable bedding that is soft, absorbent and warm. This is changed regularly and provides an excellent material for your dog to snuggle into at night and much better then the traditional shredded paper. Whilst your dog is with us, if you would like to, you can bring your own blankets and toys to ensure that your dog feels more comfortable whilst they stay with us. All the kennels are heated at no extra charge and in the hotter periods your dog has access to the run for longer until it has cooled down.
