We believe in giving your dog a real holiday when staying in our boarding kennels. We know how important your pets are to you, that’s why at Canada Farm we give your dog or cat lots of individual love and attention. From the moment they arrive to the moment they leave, their tails will be wagging. Dogs will receive at least four daily exercise and play sessions, with access to large areas of grass, and lots of toys to play with. Your pet will feel relaxed and at home while staying at our small and exclusive kennels. They will get plenty of exercise and lots of play time with our friendly team that are on hand to care for your pet 24hrs a day.

High Level of Personal Care

We have chosen to keep our dog kennel small and personalised with a high staff to dog ratio, giving us the opportunity to get to know every guest and understand their requirements. This helps to make their stay at Canada Farm Kennels as pleasurable as possible.

Many of our dogs have boarded with us from their first visit as excitable puppies to elderly dogs requiring special care. Owners and dogs trust us to offer the best possible care and we do our utmost to meet each dogs needs.

Kennel Accommodation

From a single dog, to a family of dogs, our kennels have the perfect accommodation for your pet.

At Canada Farm we have two dog kennel blocks, each of the kennel blocks comprises of approximately 12 dog kennels. The block overlooking the grass exercise paddocks has large sleeping rooms which lead to covered outside runs. These kennels are large enough to comfortably accommodate from 1 dog up to families of 3 large dogs or several small dogs.

In our traditional barn we also have spacious heated kennels which are suitable for all kinds of dogs and families of small to medium dogs.

We will find the kennel unit that best suits your dog, all our boarding kennels are heated and kept perfectly clean. We recommend you visit our kennels before you book, see why our facilities are a favourite holiday destination for dogs all over Kent and London.

All our kennels have individual heating and vinyl floors; this ensures warmth and comfort and avoids the problems some dogs have of sensitivity to concrete flooring. Moulded plastic beds with comfortable bedding, familiar food, lots of exercise and regular treats all help to keep our visitors happy and stimulated.

Perfect For Families of Dogs

Our large heated kennels are ideal for boarding families of dogs. Generous discounts given to families of dogs sharing the same kennel.

Generous Exercise

All dogs are exercised four times a day in our large secure grass paddocks, where they are able to run freely. There is always a member of staff to supervise them and encourage them with toys for retrieval and chase.

During exercise the kennels are all thoroughly cleaned, most dogs prefer to keep their kennel area clean and the frequency of exercise makes it easy for them to do so.

The cattery is heated with warm, cosy bedding and access to covered outside runs through a cat flap during daylight hours.

The units are full height and are long enough to allow 2 cats from the same home to share (if they like to snuggle up together). We offer generous discounts for families of cats sharing.

Each room has a raised sleeping area and a cat flap leading to a covered outside run which overlooks the lovely Kent countryside.

During the warmer summer days the doors to the outside runs are open to allow the cats to sunbathe on their shelf.

Cats have one to one attention with a member of our team, they have a variety of toys to play with and a spacious area to walk and play in. Cats get playtime and attention from us every day. We tailor the attention to each cat’s needs; some cats love being picked up and cuddled and having toys to chase, whilst others are more reserved and don’t enjoy too much attention.

As a small cattery we are able to get to know our guests well and understand exactly what suits them and treat them accordingly. Also, your cat will have the same members of staff caring for him, ensuring the same routine each day which is greatly beneficial to your cat’s sense of security.
