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.
