One bed or blanket from home is enough, and it goes back washed.
Before you come
What to pack
A short list either way, and a reason attached to every line.
What to bring
Food, portioned by meal
The single biggest cause of an upset stomach in a kennel is a change of food, and it is free to avoid.
Any medication, in its own packaging
We need the label your vet printed, not a pill in a bag. It is what we check the dose against.
One bed or blanket from home
Something that smells of your house. One is enough, and it comes home washed.
A collar with a tag, and the lead you use
Your dog leaves the suite on your lead, not ours.
Your veterinarian's name and telephone number
On the form, and again on the label. We would rather have it and never use it.
What to leave at home
Rawhide and hard chews
Unsupervised chewing is the commonest way a boarded dog gets hurt, and we cannot watch every suite at once. We will not pretend otherwise.
Toys you would be upset to lose
They get chewed, swapped and occasionally eaten.
Anything electronic
Trackers and cameras on a collar come off in the yards and get stepped on.
Your own bowls
We have our own, they go in a machine at eighty degrees between meals, and yours will go home in somebody else's bag.
The lead your dog leaves the suite on is yours, not ours.
Things go missing. Everything you send is labelled at the desk with your animal's name and your surname, photographed, and listed on the discharge note. Things still go missing about twice a year and we will tell you when it happens.
Are those dates free?
The calendar shows every night, for every suite class, with how many are left and what that night costs. Nothing is paid on this website: you pay when you collect.
