Your pet stays in a working animal hospital — over 130 pets, polished concrete runs, and full-coverage fire suppression monitored around the clock. Drop off and pick up any time we’re open.
No weekend-only windows. Someone is here twelve hours a day, every day, including Sundays.
| Drop-off | 6:30am to 6:00pm, seven days a week |
| Pick-up | 6:30am to 6:30pm, seven days a week |
| Standard check-in | after 3pm |
| Standard check-out | before 11am |
Drop-off closes half an hour earlier so we have time to complete check-in, settle your pet, and make sure they’ve been fed and given any medications before evening. Pick-up runs until we close.
Early drop-off and late pick-up are available for half of the nightly rate — useful if you’re catching an early flight or arriving back late.
Dogs rest on rubber-coated flooring raised eight inches off polished concrete. Each single or double set of runs has a trench drain running below the back wall, flushed automatically many times a day, so waste leaves the run rather than being pushed across it. The kennel area is cleaned several times a day with OdoBan — pet-safe, and effective at both odour and disinfection.
Our exercise areas are fully concreted and polished rather than grass or dirt. Parasite eggs — hookworm, roundworm, whipworm — survive in soil for years, and whipworm eggs are among the most persistent. Concrete removes the reservoir that soil and gravel hold onto, and each area is cleaned after every pet uses it. The exercise areas are covered, so a wet morning does not mean walking your dog through mud.
The same reasoning applies to leptospirosis, which spreads through urine. On a grass or dirt walk area, one dog urinates and the next dog sniffs the same spot. Our walk areas are rinsed between every dog, and pets do not share runs — which is why we do not require the leptospirosis vaccine to board, though we may still recommend it for your dog depending on their lifestyle outside our kennel.
Full-coverage fire suppression and an automated fire alarm system, monitored 24 hours a day.
Cats are not small dogs, and they are not housed like them.
The cat room is at the opposite end of the hospital from the dog kennel, on its own air handling — so a cat is not listening to dogs all day, and is not breathing the same air as them either. Each cat has a stainless unit of about 2ft by 4ft, with room to keep the bed, the bowls and the litter tray apart rather than stacked on top of each other.
Bring their own bed or blanket if you would like. Something that smells like home is the single easiest thing you can do for a cat who is staying somewhere new.
No stock photography. This is the facility your pet stays in.
Bordetella is required every six months rather than annually for boarding pets. Immunity does not reliably last a full year in a group setting, and this is about matching protection to exposure — not vaccinating more.
Every pet must have current flea and tick prevention administered by our staff at check-in. Bring your own from the approved list below, or buy it competitively priced when you arrive.
If you don’t bring prevention, we apply Advantix for dogs or Covetrus ParaMonthly Plus for cats at an additional fee.
This is a request, not a confirmed booking. A team member will confirm your dates with you.
