Dog Boarding

PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR SECURITY REASONS ALL DOGS ARE REQUIRED TO COME IN WITH A COLLAR EVEN IF THEY ARRIVE IN A HARNESS. THANK YOU!

​

Keswick Kennels and Cattery are housed in a converted farm building which  looks out on to the  30 acres of grazing land which we utilise for walking FOUR times daily.

Our Dog Kennels are spacious, clean to veterinary standards and comfortable.

They boast  a range of kennel sizes from Small to Extra Large which can be allocated  accordingly,  including kennels which can accommodate  giant dogs and family groups (discounted rates apply).

We also have the added benefit of quieter sections for more nervous or elderly dogs if and when  required.

New this year is an indoor play area, perfect for younger or small and medium dogs when (as can happen!) the weather is not so great.

We provide...

>>>>  Four walks a day in the surrounding fields.

>>>>  Plenty of attention and exercise, interesting play things and toys,  which we alternate to keep our guests stimulated. Beds, bedding and bowls .

>>>>  Vet-approved complete dry and tinned foods (we do advise to bring in your own food if  your dog is sensitive to dietary changes).

>>>>  Staff trained to administer medications/topical treatments who will carry out any special instructions.  Just let us know  arrival. A small  charge applies of £ 1.50  per day to administer Insulin injections.

We require all dogs to have up-to-date vaccinations, including against kennel cough. Kennel cough vaccinations/boosters must be given at least 10 days before boarding.

Dogs should be routinely treated for worms and fleas prior to visiting us.  

Please bring along your vaccination certificate.

​

PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS MUST, IN OUR OPINION, MUST BE SUFFICIENTLY FIT TO STAY IN BOARDING KENNELS.  IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS IN THIS REGARD, PLEASE RAISE THEM WITH KENNEL STAFF AT THE TIME OF BOOKING.
