Doggy day care: £20/day. Overnight stays: £25 for the day and night.
Are vaccinations required?
Yes, standard vaccinations are needed for all stays for safety and wellbeing.
Where will my dog be if it is raining or very cold?
Dogs are inside the house if it is too cold or wet to be outside. We have a log burner for colder months.

My dog eats raw food, do you have a freezer in which to keep the raw food?
Yes, I do. It represents no problem. Several dogs have raw food as part of their diet.
When my dog comes to stay what do I need to bring with me?
Please bring your dog's bed, crate if used, food for the duration of stay, and payment (or arrange to pay cash on pickup).
What do I do first?
