Cooled kennels and a hot-day routine
Our kennels are insulated and cooled with evaporative air conditioning.
Water misters help keep dogs comfortable when the weather is hot.
On hot days, dogs rotate through exercise and rest periods.
Before a summer stay
We're more than happy to supply your dog's food during their stay. You're also welcome to bring their usual food if you prefer.
Tell us about any health concerns or medication when you book, so we can plan around them.
Keep vaccinations, flea and worming up to date. Our vaccination guide explains what we need.
