Lower Mill Boarding Kennels & Cattery

Our Kennels

At Lower Mill we offer the complete package when it comes to caring for and pampering your dog.
Our friendly and dedicated staff will make sure all your dog’s needs are met, including:

• Special dietary requirements

• At least 4 walks a day to provide mental stimulation

• Home comforts

• Medical conditions

• Heated kennels

have been specially designed by a dog psychologist to minimise stress so your dog can be at ease. Our very large field offers lots of space whilst your dog is out walking.  Although we don’t let dogs off their leads we do use flexi-leads so your dogs have freedom to roam, run and explore.

We cater for most diets, if your dog is on a particular brand of food please let us know when making your booking and we will be able to check if its a brand we stock or if we have something similar available.  Our prices do include food but if your dog is on a special diet or is likely to get an upset tummy if their diet is changed we would recommend you can bring your own food along with instructions on how much to feed your dog.

We like to treat all dogs with the care and attention they deserve regardless of age or size.  As dogs get older we know only too well that their needs may change and they may require more attention at times, however here at Lower Mill we do not charge extra for elderly or incontinent animals.

Your dog must be fully vaccinated with their annual booster including kennel cough; in order for your dog to stay with us you will need to provide us with a current vaccination certificate signed by your vet.  Booster and kennel cough must have been given at least 3 weeks prior to the day of arrival.

Please ensure that your dog is wormed and de-flead prior to their holiday with us – ask your vet for the best products to use.  Please note that an extra charge may be added if we have to administer worming and de-fleaing treatments whilst your dog stays with us.

DAY VISIT

If your dog hasn’t been on a holiday to Lower Mill before then they must come in for a free day visit prior to their first holiday with us.  This is a great chance for them to meet our staff, familiarise themselves with everything and most importantly it is a great chance for us to make sure they will settle and be happy whilst on their holidays.  Day visits should be booked well in advance of your dog’s first stay with us, just in case there are any issues, it gives us time to work with you and your dog.  After their day visit we may recommend booking them in for some doggy daycare with us, just so we are completely confident that they will settle.  Please be aware we only accept well adjusted dogs at Lower Mill.
Call us today for more information or to book a day visit.

Our Cattery

We know that cats love nothing more than to explore, that’s why our luxury heated chalets offer ample space for your cat to wander around during the day.  Our outside chalets have fully insulated and heated back cabins and entry is gained through a cat flap, this can be lifted for those cats who are not used to one.  The back cabin is reached via a small set of wooden steps.  We have soothing classical music playing softly in the background.

At Lower Mill our facilities have been approved by the Feline Advisory Bureau (now known as International Cat Care), which means your cat will be looked after in the best possible facilities whilst you are away.

Our friendly and dedicated staff will make sure all your cat’s needs are met whilst on their holidays at Lower Mill, including:

• Home comforts

• Regular diets followed

• Medical conditions

• Feliway

• Catnip

We understand that leaving the familiar confines of home isn’t something any cat enjoys, which is why we use Feliway at Lower Mill.  Feliway is a replication of the pheromone that cats leave naturally when they are feeling comfortable in their environment.  We ensure that we use Feliway to help ease your cat’s transition and keep them feeling at ease and secure so they can return to you happy and feeling great!

All cats must be fully vaccinated with their annual boosters; in order for your cat to stay with us we do ask that you provide us with a current vaccination certificate signed by your vet.

Please ensure that your cat is wormed and de-flead prior to boarding with us – ask your vet for the best products to use.  Please note that an extra charge may be added if we have to administer worming and de-fleaing treatments whilst your cat stays with us.
