Horse & Country
At Horse and Country we offer a range of specialist canine and equine services, alongside supporting services for your other domestic pets.
We are also Kennel Club Assured Breeders of Labrador Retrievers from Field Trial Champion lines.
We are based in South Aberdeenshire, Scotland set in over 20 secure acres.
CANINE HOMEBOARDING
We are licenced and fully insured home boarders based rurally in South Aberdeenshire.
Your dog(s) will live in the house as part of our family while you are away, they have the option of living with our Labradors or separately if they prefer.
We have a number of secure acres where the dogs can get plenty of exercise in a safe environment.
“There’s nowhere else I would want my spaniel Megan to be when we are away. She adores Auntie Katrina and is looked after just as if she is at home. We get regular photo updates showing how much fun Megan has staying. In fact, it’s often a problem persuading Megan to leave Katrina and Ann. Fabulous home boarding for fabulous dogs – Jenni Batchelor
