Heated, safe and secure kennels

At Old Station Kennels, we have two secure kennel blocks for comfortably and securely housing our dogs. Each kennel is heated and provides everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a suitably sized bed for your dog and water. We feed our dogs twice a day and give them plenty of playtime. Attached to each kennel is a covered run giving free access to our outdoor spaces throughout the day. At night time we close the hatches to keep them secure, safe and warm inside.

Creating a home-from-home

As well as giving regular fusses and exercise, we leave the radio on throughout the day. So if your dog has a particular radio programme they like to listen to, please let us know! We also provide bedding, but you’re welcome to bring your own, along with any toys or bones that’ll help your dog settle in.

Exercise
Your dog will be exercised daily. This will consist of walks and a play in our new play area.

We exercise all dogs daily through a combination of walks and play in our new play area.

Walks

Our walks take place across the 1.7 acres of surrounding fields that we have exclusive permission to use. We always walk all dogs on the lead and won’t walk them with other dogs unless they are from the same family and the owners give us permission.

Play

Complete with a play house and various toys, the new play area is proving to be very popular with our canine guests! It is fully secured and fenced so that the dogs can play and run around off the lead. Play time is supervised at all times and only dogs from the same household are allowed to play together.

Feeding

We feed the dogs twice a day using Skinners Field & Trial, including their hypoallergenic range, unless instructed otherwise. You’re also welcome to provide your own food. If your dog has a special dietary requirement, please let us know.

Our feeding times are early morning and early evening, but we understand that some dogs have specific requirements and routines. Perhaps you usually feed your dog once per day, or have a puppy that requires more regular feeding? No problem – just let us know when you drop them off and we will keep to their usual routine.

Medication
We are more than happy to administer any medication that is required. If your dog is on any kind of medication please make sure you leave it with us, clearly labelled with you and your dogs name and clear instructions on how and when it is to be administered.

Looking around

As dog owners ourselves, we understand that you may like to see the kennels before booking a stay. We’d love to give you a guided tour and answer any questions that you may have. You can then rest in the knowledge that your dog will be thoroughly looked after and spoiled by our experienced and caring team.

If you would like to see the kennels or arrange for your dog to meet us, please call 01664 464872 to make an appointment.

  2. All health and behaviour issues MUST be disclosed prior to and at the time of boarding, along with written instructions for any medication.
  3. We will refuse admission to any pets showing any signs of illness or extreme aggression. In the event of an aggressive incident whilst in our care, you may be asked to collect your pet and settle the bill in full.
  4. If considered necessary, a visit to a veterinary surgeon may be arranged at the owner’s expense and any account settled at the time of collection. Should the veterinary surgeon deem it necessary, the animal will be put to sleep if they are suffering and no other possible action is available.
  5. Any animal not collected on the recorded date will, after 7 seven days, become the property of Old Station Kennels, and will be rehomed at their discretion. The owner will be responsible for all costs incurred including agreed and additional boarding costs.

  9. Whilst every possible care will be taken, animals are boarded at the owner’s risk. Old Station Kennels will not be responsible for any illness, accident or loss, including kennel cough.
  10. In the event of a pet being removed/collected from the kennels, either through illness or concerns with any animal welfare issues, full payment is required.
  11. We may take and retain photographs of your pets, which may be published in promotional materials or used for marketing purposes.
