K-9 Sleepover

We will be happy to show you around the kennels, this would be a good opportunity for your beastie to come and meet me and hopefully remember their visit. Please give me a call to arrange a visit then we can hopefully avoid a clash of customers coming and going at the same time.

Please note that all dogs must have the kennel cough vaccination in addition to their usual booster and the certificate for both of these must be seen by us on or before the drop off date for the beasties. Our general routine is to let the dogs in to our grass runs first thing in the morning. At this stage we also take this opportunity to tidy their bedrooms and open the doors into their runs, letting some fresh air in to the kennels. Breakfast is next on the agenda (if a dog doesn’t have breakfast it will have a bonio). We then give them an hour to settle their stomachs before they have their first walk of the day on our extendable leads (whatever the weather, being thoroughly toweled off if required). The beasties are then rotated back in the 7 grass runs which are shared between the 12 kennels, thus ensuring the dogs are not “confined to barracks” anymore than is necessary whereby they are able to interact with the boy/girl next door.

It’s then “the quiet time” between 12.00 and 14.30 when they get the opportunity for a well-earned snooze. Then it’s back out in the runs until 17.00 (again, weather permitting) when the second walk of the day begins (a bit earlier in the winter), after which they are put back in their bedrooms with access to their own individual covered runs. At 19.30 they all have dinner, again if they don’t have two meals a day they will have a bonio so they won’t feel left out. Their final “comfort break” of the day is at 22.30 when I toddle down in my dressing gown to give them a last opportunity to do what comes naturally in the grass runs, then it’s dream time. It doesn’t take them long to learn that when they come back in, there will be a bonio in their beds waiting for them – at which time I close their door keeping them snug in their bedrooms for the night. We do have heat lamps above each bed for the colder nights or as required by the old, cold or more sensitive soul. A night-light is put on to give them a little extra comfort until the sun rises. They do have a regular duo of staff buddies who cater for as many of their needs as our little legs will allow throughout the day!
