Hammerpond Kennels
OUR KENNELS AND CATTERY
We designed and built new facilities which comprised of a number of separate kennel blocks enabling us to house similar temperament or size dogs together, along with a separate cattery building. We have invested in a bespoke computerised bookings programme to ensure we capture all relevant details for you and your pet(s), including any specific feeding or medical requirements or other “need to know details”, ensuring that all of our Team are fully informed and able to offer your pets the best care possible throughout their stay. Your pets will be monitored throughout each day, from toileting, character changes, to food and water intake so you can be confident in the knowledge that they are being well looked after by our experienced team.
KENNELS
ACCOMMODATION
Our purpose built kennels are of brick construction, double glazed and fully insulated and designed to help pets feel comfortable in new surroundings. Each unit has an individually controlled direct heat lamp for extra warmth if required in colder months. The beautifully tiled kennels are finished to a high standard and provide a warm, clean, dry and hygienic home for your pets during their stay. Our kennels are spacious and are designed as “large doubles” and can comfortably accommodate more than two dogs from the same household. Each unit has an individual outdoor covered run allowing your pets to come and go as they please into the fresh air. Our kennels are split over separate blocks which enables us to house like animals together. If your pet is timid, nervous or perhaps elderly we can ensure that they are housed away from our more boisterous borders! Security has been key in our development, with security lighting and fencing providing a secure and safe environment.
EXERCISE AND SOCIALISATION
All dogs are exercised in our secure activity fields daily, whatever the weather! The dogs love being able to run off lead and have a good sniff around and even play a few games! We do not mix dogs from different households for safety reasons. Your dogs enjoy our undivided attention, we make a point of getting to know all pets to put them at ease.
DIET AND MEDICATION
We supply a high quality complete dried food but should you wish us to feed your pet any other food please bring sufficient with you for their stay. Clearly label so we may willingly follow your instructions. We can administer vet prescribed medication, again sufficient clearly labelled. In the case of invasive or time sensitive medication there may be a supplementary charge. Please discuss this with us prior to booking. We have access to a local veterinary practice to ensure your dog receives the best care should they be required for continuing medical treatment or any emergencies.
MONITORING
Daily observations are made regarding food intake, water consumption, toileting, feeding requirements, and medication if required, amongst general observations on behaviour etc. These are recorded on a clip board at the front of each kennel providing instant referencing for all staff. This process ensures that your pet’s wellbeing is continuously monitored, providing the highest standards of personalised one to one care.
DAYCARE
As well as overnight accommodation we also offer a day care service. Should you need to be away from home for long periods during the day whether for work, attending a function or simply for a day out, we can look after your pets leaving you secure in the knowledge that they are safe and happy. Our day care pets receive the same attention and care that our overnight clients receive.
VACCINATIONS
All borders (overnight and daycare) must have current annual vaccinations for the duration of their stay with us and we require you to bring their vaccination cards with you on drop off. Any animal with lapsed vaccinations or without their vaccination card will not be admitted for boarding for the safety and wellbeing of all our boarders. Kennel Cough vaccinations are advisable. Due to the nasal vaccination being a live vaccine it must be administered at least 10 days prior to boarding so that your dog does not present a risk to the other dogs in our care. Animals that have received the vaccination less than 10 days prior to boarding will not be accepted for boarding. The Kennel Management reserve the right to refuse to board any animal that appears unwell at the time of boarding.
CLEANING
The safety and welfare of all our boarders forms one of the cornerstones that our reputation is built upon. You can be assured that your pet will always be in a safe and clean environment where the highest standards of hygiene are maintained at all times. Our Kennels are cleaned routinely twice a day and at any other times that are necessary. We use a specialist professional animal disinfectant which is also the preferred disinfectant for veterinary practices and other professional animal organisations. Not only does it kill germs effectively but it is non toxic and safe for all animals, the environment and water courses.
CATTERY
ACCOMMODATION
Our purpose built cattery is of brick construction, heated, double glazed, and fully insulated. Housed in a separate building away from our dog boarding facilities, this ensures the cats cannot hear the dogs and results in a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Classical music is played throughout the day creating a fabulous peaceful and calm environment for our feline friends. Each cat pen has a cosy, fully tiled, sleeping area including a raised bench from which the cats can laze in the sun and look out of the window to the open countryside for their amusement. Each unit also has an attached individual 3.5m x 1.5m fully enclosed play area which includes scratch poles and activity trees. The units are finished to a high standard and provide a warm, clean, dry and hygienic home for your pets during their stay. Each unit is spacious and can comfortably accommodate more than one cat from the same household. Although the cattery is heated, each pen has an individually controlled direct heat lamp for extra warmth if required in colder months.
BEDDING AND STIMULATION
We provide cosy bedding for your cats which is changed as necessary and checked frequently throughout the day. If you feel your pet would settle better having bedding from home please feel free to bring it with you. We also provide scratch poles, activity trees and mats to keep your pets occupied during their stay with us. Our dedicated team will also ensure your cats received regular cuddles and fuss throughout their holiday with us.
DIET AND MEDICATION
We provide the cats a high quality complete dried food and/or wet food but should you wish us to feed your pet their food from home please bring sufficient with you for their stay, clearly labelled, and we will willingly do so according to your instructions. We can administer vet prescribed medication as necessary and will ask you to bring sufficient with you, clearly labelled, which will be given as per your instructions. In the case of invasive or time sensitive medication there may be a supplementary charge. Please discuss this with us prior to booking. We have access to a local veterinary practice to ensure your cat receives the best care should they be required for continuing medical treatment or any emergencies.
