A NOTE FROM ANNA, THE MAIN CARER OF BOARDING DOGS (PLEASE READ)

Our 2007 Dog boarding prices are as follows; £10.00 per dog, per day and these prices include;

Bedding

We can supply everything from duvets to shredded paper and of course doggies are welcome to "Bring their own".

N.B. All kennels are heated in the bedding area.

Food

We stock many complete and tinned foods such as "JWB, BAKERS, PEDIGREE and BUTCHERS" but again you are most welcome to supply your own. We are happy to weigh food, feed separately, freeze it and generally pander to your pets whims, whether that’s a morning "weetabix" or a "lunch time cuppa"!

N.B. We request that you advise us and supply any veterinary prescribed drugs or diet.

Bowls of every size and material are available.

Walkies, love and Playtime

Depending on your dogs capabilities we can offer a daily walk of up to 40 minutes (usually over the downs). This can be either one to one of if sociable in a group.

(ALL DOGS ARE ON LEADS, ONE PERSON PER DOG AND RSPCA STAFF ARE ALWAYS PRESENT). The dogs can also use our enclosure for off the lead satisfaction! (DOGS ARE NEVER MIXED OFF LEAD… AT ANY TIME).

The normal routine also allows for an afternoon stretch of the legs and a good sniff of the field, oh and a wee hopefully!

All of our animals are treated with the up-most respect and always on an individual basis so please tell us how we can adjust our work to suit your dogs needs. (I.E. shorter but more frequent walks etc etc.)

Collars, leads, harnesses, halti’s are all welcome although we do have our own. All dogs have access to safe toys, when they are in the run, whilst their "room" is being cleaned but please bring your own for their personal use in their kennel.  Equally it's a good idea to bring in an old smelly t-shirt or jumper of yours as this can sometimes help to settle a newcomer as it has a familiar scent on it.

Kennels and runs are thoroughly disinfected twice daily and any soiled bedding replaced immediately.

If the staff are in any doubt of your dog’s well being during their stay they will ask the vet to examine them. Any treatment required will then be consented to by your own vet. Any cost of medication will be paid for by you.

At Patcham RSPCA we pride ourselves in the care and attention we give to our animals. We all have our own at home and therefore understand how difficult it can be to trust others. So please call in to reception and ask to view the boarding kennels and speak to its staff. Consider us as the holiday camp Hilton for your pet!

You will be asked for proof of full vaccination of your dog including cover for kennel cough (usually a separate squirt of vaccine up the dog’s nose). We also ask for owners to be honest with their animal’s state of health and behaviour… we will not judge an arthritic shepherd or a nervy collie!!

BATHS

We also offer a bath facility for boarding dogs for a small extra charge.

 

WE BOARD CATS TOO

Cat charges are £6.00 per day (with reduced rates for two or more cats sharing the same pen).

Air conditioned cattery - all cats have access to an outdoor run too.

For Booking information, terms and conditions and availability please phone the shelter on 01273 554218.
