What do I need to bring for my pet during their stay?

Dogs – We provide food, bowls and bedding for your pet during their stay. You are welcome to bring along bedding and toys from home if you feel it will make their stay more enjoyable. However they should be clearly labelled with your pets name to help ensure they are returned at the end of your pets stay.

A secure carry cage is required to bring your cat into the office, this can be stored above your cats cabin until you return.

What do you feed my pet?

All our pets are fed a high quality premium dry food which aims to supply all the required nutrients to maintain your pet while boarding with us. However we are aware that some dogs or cats may require a special diet which you are more than welcome to provide from home. Just ensure food is labelled with your pets name and instructions for feeding and given to our office staff on arrival.

What will my pet do during his or her stay?

Dogs - There is always plenty of stimulation for all our canine guests. Pets are never lonely with the company of the other dogs and the staff. Kepala Pet Resort is a very busy place, whilst doggies are in their kennels they can see the other dogs and everything that the staff do during the day. Whilst their kennel is being cleaned dogs are given time to run about individually in our off leash grass areas, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. All dogs are fed one main meal per day.

Cats - All our feline guests are made to feel at home in the relaxing surrounds of the cattery. They can laze about and enjoy the soothing music or watch the fish swim about in the fish tanks or just sleep the day away. All cats are exercised once per day whilst their cabin is being cleaned in the morning – they are given the opportunity to roam about individually in the secure surrounds of the cattery. All cats are fed one main meal per day.

Do you offer a Pick Up and Delivery Service?

We no longer provide a pick up and drop off service.

What happens if my pet has medications?

All staff are able to administer basic medications (a small charge applies). Medications should be labelled accurately and correctly with your pets name & dosage instructions and given to our office staff on arrival. An accurate record of when we administer the medications is kept at all times. Please bring more medication than your pet needs for there stay in case you are held up.

What happens if my pet falls ill during their stay?

We will contact you if we have any concerns with your pet during their stay. All associated vet fees are to be paid by the pets owner.

Can I ring and check on my pet while I am away?

My dog is quite active what extra exercise can I request for my dog?

We understand that some dogs are more active than others or require more personal time, therefore we offer playtimes. Playtime is a one on one 15 minute session with one of the attendants in one of our large grass off leash areas. This time can be used for ball throwing, extra cuddles or just time to sniff around.

Will my dog be washed during its stay?

Dogs boarding 7 days or longer will receive a complimentary wash before departure. If your dog is boarding for a shorter period of time we can wash them by request however charges do apply.
