What should I bring?
Food (please do not bring bowls, unless they are slow feeders)
Any medication.
Collars (including halters) and a lead.
You are welcome to bring your dog's bed if you wish but we have plenty of clean bedding/ towels/ toys your dog can use which are washed between each dog. If you do bring your own bedding please ensure this is clean.
We also have small and large crates available should your dog usually be crated.
Vaccination card and microchip number.
Drop off
Opening times are 7.30-8am and 5-6pm Monday to Friday and 9:00 - 10:00am on the weekends, unless by prior agreement. If you are also boarding your cat please speak to us as we can accommodate alternative drop off times.
Once you arrive for safety please keep your dogs in the car. Dogs should not go into the Cattery office.
I will go through what your dog eats and any medicine they have. I will also confirm when you are picking up and your contact details. During busy periods your dog may be placed in the office while we accept/ depart another dog. Your dog will then be taken up to the house and settled in.
Please note we do not allow people up to the house as this is stressful for your dog and others that are staying.
Please let me know if you would like updates of your dog and I will be happy to provide photos of them during their stay.
Pick up
Once you have arrived I will go up to the house to collect your dog. Normally any food/ bedding will have already been brought down to save time. I will then give you any updates of your dogs stay.
Do you accept unneutered dogs?
Unneutered male dogs are not accepted over 6 months of age.
Is Dogs at Home right for my dog?
It is important that your dog enjoys their stay and does not feel stressed on their holiday. We do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs.
The dogs spend all of their time together, except of a night (unless they are paired up with a suitable dog) or during feeding time. Please think carefully and honestly about whether your dog will enjoy spending time with other dogs in a home boarding environment. If your dog does not like certain types of dogs/ colour/ size/ breed they will not be suitable as we take in a variety of different dogs.
Please consider if your dog will be suitable before booking. If you are uncertain, please ring us.
