Feeding

Dogs are fed twice a day and we supply their bowls and feed

We stock the following dog feeds:

Chudleys Classic Dry Complete
James Well Beloved Dry Complete
Plain biscuit mixer
Tinned Butchers Tripe
Tinned Pedigree Chappie (a mix of meat and cereal)

We aim to provide a diet that is balanced and as close as possible to what your dog eats at home (roast dinners excepted!).

Own Feed and Special Diet

However, many owners decide to provide their own to avoid any diet change during a stay. If your dog is a fussy eater or has a sensitive tummy this is always wise. Please make sure that all feed is clearly labelled with dogs name and feeding instructions in a secure container. We have a fridge & freezer available for storage of fresh food.

Medication & Treatment

If your dog is on medication, please bring it in clearly labelled with dog’s name and dosage instructions. Likewise, if your dog requires treatment we are happy to undertake basic procedures, such as eye bathing and topical creams, but please be aware that we are not a veterinary clinic and when we are busy more time consuming procedures are not always possible. Please call us to discuss prior to dropping your dog off.  In exceptional circumstances special arrangements can be made at an additional cost.

Exercise

All dogs will be run off the lead in our big grassy field or orchard twice a day, in a group or individually depending on requirements. Both areas are securely ring fenced.

Sociable dogs will get the opportunity to mix and play with others during the day, between walks.

Elderly and Frail Animals

Please advise us about care required in as much detail as possible. With advance notice, we can reserve a nice quiet kennel where your dog can stay undisturbed by others. Sometimes it may be possible to team them up with others of a similar disposition.

Toys

You are welcome to bring toys for dogs in the family pens, but those sharing a communal yard are not allowed toys - this is to avoid possible arguments over them!

Grooming

We would like to stress we are a ‘country kennels’ and inevitably from time to time dogs get muddy from running in the field. However, if you would like your dogs professionally groomed before going home, we can arrange for them to be collected from the kennels, taken to the grooming parlour & returned to the kennels ready for collection by you on their last day of boarding. Please advise as early as possible. Charges are from £25 per dog.
