THE DOGGERY

Dog Accommodation

We cater to both small and large dogs in two separate boarding wings. This ensures that no dog boarding with us feels intimidated by the size or temperament of our other guests. Each kennel contains a water bowl and a non-allergenic trampoline bed for larger dogs and cosy fit bed for smaller dogs

All of our exercise yards are secure and supervised by our experienced staff.

At night the quarters are fully enclosed and during the day there is immediate access to large areas where your pet can relax and enjoy the view of trees and garden. Throughout the day our canine friends are taken into large grassed play areas where they can chase a ball, play with their companion or just relax on the grass.

We are happy to accommodate most breeds and sizes but we don’t cater for dangerous dog breeds. We will accept entire (un-desexed) males but there is an additional charge for entire males.

Each morning our guests are placed into the recreation areas on a rotating basis, so their suites can be cleaned. During this time each dog is visually checked for any changes. Early morning breakfasts are served along with any medications.

We like to keep all guests quiet following their breakfast to avoid any problems brought on by excess activity following a meal. We can also monitor any dogs that are slow eaters or extremely fussy.

Guests are then exercised on a rotating basis and enjoy a playtime with a staff member playing ball or just a quiet time in the grassed play area. Afternoon meals are served and any medications are administered.

As the day draws to a close all guests receive a bedtime treat as they are secured into their sleeping quarters for the night.

No dogs will be housed together unless they are family members, so your pet will always be safe.

In summer, dogs can run amongst the sprinkler systems to cool down, while in Winter they can snuggle into our warm blankets and sheepskins.
