Our Services
Boarding
There are 28 individual Kennels each with heating and access to their own run. Due to the small number of dogs boarded compared to most other local kennels, Five Acres are very proud to be able to offer the individual care important for your dogs well being.
Our price guide is listed on the right-hand side of all pages throughout this website.
Advice for first time boarders.
Creature Comforts
All our kennels are fully heated and we do provide a bed and bedding. You are welcome to bring bedding and toys for your dog however we would like to warn you that dogs in boarding can exhibit different behaviour from that at home and may soil or damage their bedding/toys, this is perfectly normal in the absence of owners and in the presence of unusual sights, sounds and other dogs, it is nothing to be concerned about and is not the case in all dogs, this does however mean that toys and bedding are left at owners own risk!
Exercise
Each dog is individually exercised three times a day in one of our four secured grass paddocks. Meaning that they can experience free off lead exercise first thing in the morning, again during the afternoon and then last thing in the evening.
If you are boarding more than one dog they can of course be exercised together. Or if your dog enjoys playing with other dogs we will try to pair them up with a play-mate but only if asked to by the owners and when it is beneficial to both dogs.
Extra walks
You may also wish to treat your dog to an additional on-lead walk around the village. Some people like to have their dog walked once or twice during their stay as a break from the kennels or others like to book one-a-day.
They cost an additional £4.00 for a 30 minute walk. They are however very popular and are subject to availability so please ensure you book early to avoid disappointment.
Meals
The dogs are normally fed in the evenings between 4-5pm, however morning meals can also be provided.
Both tinned and dried quality food are available, which is provided at no additional cost. However if your dog requires a special diet or you prefer to bring along your dogs own food please do so.
Medications and supplements can be administered if required however please mention this when making the booking.
You are also welcome to bring any treats that you wish your dog to be given.
Insurance
All dogs are covered under our insurance policy for any veterinary treatment should it be required during their stay. Existing medical conditions excluded.
Inoculations
All dogs must be up to date with their yearly vaccinations and certificates must accompany them on arrival at the kennels.
A kennel cough inoculation is advisable but not mandatory as we are a small kennels and therefore the risk is relatively low. If you have your dog inoculated it is compulsory to allow a week to ten days before boarding.
Grooming
Details of our onsite grooming can be found on the Grooming page.
