Services

The Kennels and Cattery are licenced with South Lakeland District Council and all facilities are inspected annually.

We pride ourselves in being a small, intimate, caring establishment. Our limited capacity ensures that each pet receives individual care during their stay. All breeds are welcome.

Feeding

A well fed dog is a happy dog.

Typically all of our guests are fed twice daily. This fits in conjunction with their twice daily walks and playtime, forming the basis of their daily routine.

We provide the same high quality pet food to our guests which we feed our own pets – Burns, Chudley’s or Nature’s Menu. These come in a range of flavour varieties.

We appreciate that some guests will prefer wet foods and this is also catered for.

Alternatively you may provide your own preferred brand of food or treats.

If your pet requires any specific dietary attention please inform us at the time of booking.

Large breeds are fed from raised feeding platforms to aid digestion.

Special bowls are available for long eared breeds.

Vaccinations and Health

All of our residents must be fully vaccinated within the last 12 months and we will request to see vaccination certificates on arrival.

For cats this must show protection from cat flu and Infectious Feline Enteritis and for dogs Hepatitis, Distemper, Leptospirosis, Parvovirus & Parainfluenza.

Vaccination for Kennel Cough for dogs is recommended by most Veterinary Surgeons. Although we fully support this advice, kennel cough vaccination is not a requirement.

We are happy to administer any medication prescribed by your veterinary surgeon. Also in such cases as diabetic pets we can give injections on a daily basis

We reserve the right to refuse any pet that we consider to be in an unhealthy condition or that we consider to be an unreliable temperament.
