About Us
Individual care to all our guests is of the utmost importance to us.
ABOUT OUR LODGES
We wanted kennelling that would be safe, secure and spacious. Therefore we chose a perfect garden and then put up fencing which is tall enough so that our guests can’t escape by trying to jump over.
We also went one step further and buried the fence in concrete, so that they can’t dig their way out. The enclosure is extremely strong which means that the dogs cannot chew through it.
We have six kennels (Approx. 40m²) with an indoor cabin area (1,8m X1,8m), an underroof area and a grassed area. Our facilities make it possible for us to give each dog the attention they need to mentally as well as physically stimulate them.
Our cabin areas are all fitted with a night-light, comfortable bed and are heated in winter.

The boarding areas are paved and are cleaned daily with disinfectant to make sure that there are no germs. This is also done each time a dogs fouls this area.
The runs are cleaned 3 times a day. After each guest's stay, the kennel is cleaned with high pressure hoses and is disinfected to ensure to ensure a clean and hygienic stay for the next guest.
We insist on:

· all dogs being vaccinated against Kennel Cough at least 2 weeks before checking in; and
· all general vaccinations being up to date (vaccination cards to be submitted).

ABOUT FOOD
Our kennelling facility does not supply dog meals and request that you please provide such. This is so that we do not have to change your dog’s diet and let him get adjusted to a new food. It takes at least a week for a dog’s stomach to settle on his new food and there is no need to be upsetting his stomach with a change of food.
We feed your dogs the exact same way that you would at home (same times, wet or dry, with or without medication
