Unfortunately due to VAT now being 20%, we have had to increase our rates accordingly, but we have made sure we are still extremely competitively priced compared to other kennels/catteries in this area. We are proud that we continue to be one of the only kennels, in this area, that lead walks EVERY dog twice daily, regardless of how labour intensive this is.

Accommodation
Each dog kennel has fresh bedding or use of our new mesh hammock beds www.theoriginaluk.com and an individual heater lamp. All of our kennels now have an adjoining outside run with a hatch that seperates the run from the sleeping area. This can be closed at night to keep our dogs cosy and warm. Dogs from the same family can be housed together at the owner’s request.
Diet
Our prices include the provision of an individual diet, and we are happy to meet the specific requirements of you, the owner. Rest assured that your dog will get the food that he is most used to at home. We have a choice of approximately 30 dry complete dog foods and several wet foods. If we haven’t got the food your dog normally eats, you can choose a similar food or bring your own in. Classical music is left playing in the background all day.
Exercise
We believe an exercised dog is a happy dog and all our boarders get two daily walks around our paddock, regardless of the weather. It is during these regular walks that we ensure that each dog receives plenty of love and attention from the assigned member of our kennel team. We also have a new (spring 2012) fabulous fenced and gated area which enables us to let most dogs run loose without the worry of them escaping. In the past we have only let well trained dogs loose, or dogs that are well known to us. This is definately a bonus to let them burn extra energy off.
Also new for 2012, we have 3 large indoor play areas also, this is for any dogs, but ideal for younger dogs who need more interaction or small dogs going home, that we do not want to walk in the wet weather or infirm dogs that just need to wander around and not go on a lead for a walk.
Love
This is a big feature at Lodge Farm and, of course, it’s free!
