Forest Animal Boarding is a family run business.

We pride ourselves in the care and attention that we give to your pets during their stay.

We treat each and every one of them as if they were our own and go that extra mile to give them all they could possibly need. You may even see some of the younger members of the family helping out occasionally.

Whether you are looking to board your pet while you are on holiday, looking for a long stay, we are more than happy to help.

KENNELS & CATTERY

Kennels

We are licensed to take up to 48 dogs and have a variety of secure, heated kennels to cater for their individual needs.

Dogs are exercised in our secure play area in small groups or individually if preferred. We also have a playground where dogs will experience daily enrichment sessions. We have a member of staff in the kennels from 7.30 am – 6.30pm and music playing in the kennels throughout the day.

We provide beds and blankets for every dog, however please feel free to bring anything that will help your dog to feel settled during their stay. For safety reasons, we do not allow real bones or rawhide.
