Bringing your dog to kennels 

Prepare for a calm, stress free transition

Allow Time:  

• Allow plenty of time to bring your dog.
• A stressed owner equals a stressed dog.

Paper Work: 

• Complete your paper work at home in peace, so as to remember all relevant information to help make your dog most comfortable.

Vaccination Card:

• Have his/her vaccination card ready.
• Remember all vaccinations are needed annually.
• Please allow two weeks for any booster shots to take effect.
• “Kennel cough” immunisation is essential .

Bedding:

• Prepare or decide on bedding.
• It is best not to have it washed, so it has the smell of home.

Usual Food:

• Please bring your dog’s usual food.
• Some dogs will not eat for a day or so when they come to the kennels and they will certainly not eat dry nuts if they get scraps at home!
• Almost any preference can be facilitated, so please provide information on how they like their food so as to minimise upset.

Favourite Toys:

• We welcome owners to bring favorite toys.
• This contributes to the “home from home” atmosphere for your dog.
  

Calm Energy:

• When it’s time to say goodbye, try to be matter-of-fact as this conveys a calm energy to your dog.
• If you fuss and look back with sadness, your dog will pick up on this too.
• Relax, knowing that it is our aim to ensure your dog has a great holiday, while you enjoy yours.
