Greycations

As a former greyhound owner, I know that through our own home boarding experience we put in place for our grey we could see the difference it made to him. He positively loved going on vacation and there were no “huffs” on coming back to us. The difference it also made for us was huge, knowing that he was in a warm and secure home environment 24×7, loved and cared for rather than being in a kennel gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our own holiday to full advantage and feel less of the guilt!

Greycations is based in the West coast in Wemyss Bay, minutes from the River Clyde. There are beautiful beaches, coastal walks and wonderful woodland areas. I have a secure back garden at home with high fencing to keep your greyhound enclosed and safe. Local beaches are just minutes away to enjoy a nice walk or a dip.  At the end of the road we have a small wooded area for ambling through.  For longer adventures there are many walking trails in the hills above Inverkip & Wemyss Bay.  Just two minutes by car is the peaceful and beautiful Ardgowan Estate to walk through or via the Inverkip Marina there is access to the sandy Inverkip beach or to the coastal paths that run from Inverkip beach to Lunderston Bay where you can take in the stunning views over the River Clyde.

Many owners happily use a variety of ways to board their greyhound whilst taking a well earned vacation themselves. These can be options such as Kennels, leaving your greyhound with family and friends or home pet sitting (where someone has access to your home) but at Greycations I aim to provide all the home comforts your greyhound is used to, with routines maintained and complete peace of mind for the owners.

They love a good sofa and like to be nice and warm. We know greys can be inherently lazy and they do like their home comforts. Kenneling is the opposite of all this for a grey. They may appear to go off quite happily to the kennels but the parents may experience a very distant greyhound on their return. Your greyhound may even choose not to “speak” to you for several days after your return.   Alternatively, it can also be great to be able to use family and friends as this may allow your greyhound to remain in their home or go to your family/friends home but this can be an informal agreement and can often be a problem if the family/friends plans change suddenly.

Greycations is all about your greyhound. I offer a home from home vacation service for your greyhound where you know you will have complete peace of mind. Your greyhound comes first and I personally commit to 24×7 care during your vacation/time away. At our initial meeting, I take the time to gather all the information about personalities, behaviours, routines. All greyhounds are unique and have their own foibles and individual behaviours to cater for so I listen carefully and document everything in detail and, of course, take the time to get that all important relationship established with your greyhound in advance of their visit to me.

I believe in providing personalised, individual care for your greyhound so that they have the very best experience at Greycations.

I aim to keep their diet and routine as close to the one they are used to with you, including attention to any special diets and medication.

I aim to provide a safe, friendly and professional service where all greyhounds are cared for as they would be at home.
