Daily Routine

All dogs are exercised twice daily in large fenced grass paddocks for about 20 to 30 minutes per session. We stock a range of dry complete dog foods as well as traditional canned meats and biscuits. Cats are fed and cleaned twice daily. We stock a range of popular cat foods. We reserve the right to refuse to handle and exercise any dog that displays unacceptable behaviour that compromises the safety of the kennel staff.

Peak Season Bookings

We are always very busy during school holidays and we recommend that you book in good time, as all our kennels with runs become fully booked weeks in advance. Once these are all booked, we have only a few kennels without runs, which can be booked at a reduced price. We are happy to make changes to your booking, subject to availability, prior to your arrival day; however once you have arrived you will be charged for the period that has been booked. Please be advised that there is no refund or credit for early collection.

Late Collection

If you are delayed on your return, please collect during opening hours only. An additional charge may be incurred for late collection. A phone call to inform us is always welcome.




Pet Health

Please tell us on arrival any health details that we need to know. This will include any prescribed medication. Please clearly label any medication with the name and dosage.

Insurance

All cats and dogs are insured whilst boarded through Brooks Braithwaite (Sussex) Ltd. for a maximum of £700 per animal.

Vaccinations

All dogs and cats MUST be fully vaccinated and up to date prior to boarding. Proof of vaccination must be presented on arrival. Dogs must have current vaccinations for distemper, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis and parvo virus. Vaccination for bordetella bronchitis (kennel cough) is highly recommended, and will be a compulsory requirement from January 2008 Cats must have current vaccinations for feline enteritis and cat flu. Vaccination for feline leukaemia is recommended but not compulsory.

Kennel Cough (Bordetella bronchitis)

Kennel cough is caused by an air-borne virus and has an incubation period of 7 to 10 days. It is therefore impossible for us to detect dogs who may be incubating kennel cough as they arrive at the kennels. The best protection is the kennel cough vaccine, and from January 2008 we will require all dogs to be vaccinated for Kennel Cough.

Flea Control

We strongly recommend that both dogs and cats receive regular preventative treatment for flea control and that this treatment covers any period of boarding.
