Lilac Cottage Kennels & Cattery

Kennels

We are a small to medium sized kennels catering up to 25-30 dogs at full capacity. We have 16 standard kennels and 2 luxury lodge kennels for dogs is also available. We have kennels varying in size from small to large so we are able to accommodate a mixture of breeds and dogs from the same family. We have a large family sized kennel that is able to accommodate 4 dogs. Each kennel is insulated and heated and has its own adjoining covered outside run which are open all day long (unless very damp, wet or severe/extreme cold weather)

We have 2 exercise areas for dogs, a secure and clean concrete based exercise yard that is provided for the dogs and a small grass play area which includes agility equipment, tyre steps and a ball pit (a dog paddling pool is provided here in the warmer months too) . No dogs at Lilac Cottage Kennels are mixed with other’s unless they are from the same family and kennel so all exercise is carried out on an individual basis. Dogs are exercised 3-4 times daily.

Dry food (WAGG/ARKWRIGHTS) , Insurance and heating are included in the daily boarding rate. Special diets/owner supplied food can also be fed. Medication can be administered at no extra cost. If your dog/s have specific health problems please contact us prior to boarding to ascertain that we are happy and knowledgeable to board them as certain conditions can be heightened in a kennel environment and we may feel your pet is not suitable for boarding. 

*** All dogs boarded in our care must be fully inoculated and up to date with their annual boosters, we strongly recommend the kennel cough vaccine (Nobivac KC) although we do not enforce this and it is left to the owners discretion ***

Lilac Cottage Cattery

We have a very small intimate cattery consisting of 7 fully indoor and enclosed cattery pens and these are situated away from the kennel blocks in an attached building. 

Each pen is secure, safe, insulated and heated and it has ‘sneeze’ barriers in place to help prevent the spread of disease and infections.

By keeping the cattery small it allows us to give each cat boarded lots of individual care and attention. Each pen is able to accommodate up to two (2) cats providing they are from the same family.

​*** Please ensure for your cats safety that they are handed over to us in secure pet carriers ***

We provide litter trays and cat litter along with tinned cat food and feed/water bowls within the daily boarding rate but you are of course welcome to bring in any items of food/trays/bedding, scratching posts, toys and bowls to help settle your cat into their new surroundings.

​*** All cats boarding in our care must be fully inoculated and up to date with their annual boosters, this should include the ‘Cat Flu’ vaccine (FHV/FCV) ***
