Open mesh partitions can sometimes cause dogs to become aggressive or nervous with their neighbours.

All dogs experience some degree of stress while away from their owners. To help alleviate this, we ask that you bring familiar items with you for their stay. Beds and blankets are always welcome as well as their favourite toy or comforter. Please do not wash bedding before you come. The more familiar the smell, the better for your dog.
Additionally, it is our practice to use a DAP diffuser (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) to help settle your dog/s into their new surroundings.
The DAP is recommended by the Veterinarian Association, as a safe and natural way for your dog to feel protected and secure. For more information please click here.
If your dog has never stayed in a kennels before, why not try our Taster sessions? Let your dog/s come and play for just a few hours.
These are available during off-peak times, and subject to availability.
You are welcome to stay here with them and enjoy a cup of coffee, or you can 'go-shopping’.
This service is offered at €4,00 per hour for a maximum of 4 hours per day.
A 24 hour taster session is also available, (including an overnight stay). This is offered at €30,00 per dog, per stay.
During these visits your dog/s will benefit from individual care and play so that they can become familiar with their new surroundings.
This will help both them, and you, prepare for longer stays at your own pace.
