It is important to us that your pets enjoy their stay – as well as providing plenty of fresh air and exercise, we provide only high quality meals and are also happy to cater for special dietary needs which can be discussed at the time of booking.

All our food provides your dog with the best possible nutrition during their stay.Following extensive research and trials we now feed and are the local distributors of Arden Grange. Arden Grange is a naturally complete dry pet food range for dogs and cats. It is formulated to very high standards so that it provides optimum nutrition for your pets.

Additionally, all Arden Grange diets are totally hypoallergenic, free from wheat, beef, soya and diary products. They also contain added prebiotics MOS and FOS, which promote the growth of friendly gut bacteria that in turn reduce the build up of harmful bowel flora.
All Arden Grange products are free from artificial colourings, flavourings and preservatives and are naturally preserved using mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract. The range have proved to be extremely popular whilst providing a complete and balanced diet with all the extra vitamins and minerals your dogs need.
For those of you that have dogs with joint problems you will be pleased to know that Arden Grange also contains added Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM which are recommended joint aiding ingredients.
Many of our clients now use Arden Grange for their pets as their first choice and have reported significant improvements in their pet’s health and general well-being. We are happy to receive orders from clients and also keep a good stock of the popular feeds.
We are also able to provide a range of popular tinned dog food.
Cattery
We provide a range of the popular tinned and dry foods as well as Arden Grange’s range of dry cat food which provide similar advantages to the dog food ranges.
As we have been so pleased with the results, we have no hesitation in highly recommending Arden Grange pet foods and are pleased to say we are local distributors for them in the area.
This means we can now provide you with arguably some of the best dog food that can also be delivered locally, if required.

Kennel Cough
All dogs boarded require vaccination for kennel cough.
Information
The correct name for kennel cough is infectious tracheo-bronchitis. It is the most common respiratory disease in dogs. It is highly infectious, being spread by airborne bacteria, but no-one knows exactly all the possible ways it can spread.
It is most prevalent during the late summer period but random outbreaks can strike at any time during the year.
Kennelled dogs are at a greater risk of infection as they are in close proximity of many other dogs. However, it is true that your pet is just as likely to catch kc at a dog show or whilst out walking, making contact with other dogs.
Dogs can be carriers of this disease and show no symptoms.
In rare cases KC can be fatal – secondary infections can insue, which can lead to the death of the dog.
Nothing can totally prevent the spread of kennel cough. Vaccinating your dog will however help to reduce the severity of any outbreak and provide your dog with the maximum protection available.
Dogs can show symptoms of kennel cough as a result of the vacination but these symptoms tend to be reduced compared to the actual infection and to clear up with no further treatment required.
There are currently two brands of KC vaccination available:
Nobivac KC
A dose of 0.4 ml given in one nostril
Takes effect after 72 hours
Lasts for 1 yearIt is recommended that no other vaccine should be administered within 14 days before or after vaccination with Nobivac KC.
Intrac
Â
A dose of 1.0 ml given in both nostrils
Takes effect after 5 – 10 days
Lasts between 6 – 10 months
May be given on the same day as other vaccines, this includes booster vaccination
Please consult your vet as to the suitability of the vaccine for your dog.
Note The parainfluenza vaccine given as part of your dog’s booster provides protection against viral strains of infection. Both Nobivac KC and Intrac provide added protection against bacterial strains, thus helping to provide all round protection for your dog.
We would be grateful if you could ensure KC vaccinations are given two weeks prior to boarding.
