If you know any friends or relatives that would like to register their pet for boarding, please encourage them to contact us to make a booking ASAP.
Vaccination Policy
Keeping your pets healthy whilst they are boarding is a priority for us. To help us with this, we have a very robust vaccination policy which can be viewed in detail HERE
- Dogs need to have an in-date annual booster AND kennel cough vaccination.
- Cats need to have an in-date annual booster vaccination.
During the Covid pandemic, with a reduced number of daily appointments available, a 3-month grace period for vaccinations was introduced. Some Vets still offer this period.
Our licence conditions and insurance cover does not recognise this grace period.
The bottom line…. Whilst boarding, all pets have to be within the standard 12-month cover the vaccination gives, which includes kennel cough for dogs. If you are unsure, please call us for clarification.
Human First-aid
January tends to be a quiet month for us with a lower-than-average number of pets boarding. So, we take this opportunity to ensure all our staff training is up-to-date.
Last week we were delighted to welcome Manchester First Aid Training, who have been delivering our human first-aid training for several years.
20 members of staff completed their training over the 2 sessions. With a current workforce of 43 employees across a 16-acre site, it is vital to ensure we have a good coverage of first aid trained staff, along with our on-site defibrillator.
Dog Grooming Prices
Our prices for our dog grooming service will be increasing as of 1st April 2026.
Further details will be provided soon.
