Before you book

Book early if you're travelling in school holidays, long weekends or Christmas.
Check your dog's C3 or C5 is current and was given at least 2 weeks before arrival.
Email the vaccination certificate to kennels@barkridge.net with your dog's name.

While you're away

Make sure we have an emergency contact we can reach while you are away.
Dogs follow the same daily routine, whether they stay a few nights or several weeks.
We share photos on Facebook and Instagram when time allows. We can't give individual updates.

Medication and food

Bring enough medication for the whole stay, in its original packaging, with written instructions.
We feed Royal Canin and Pet's Tucka, or bring their usual food.
Label all food and portion meals where possible.
