Catteries & Kennels

Although many pet owners will take their pet away on holiday with them, especially within the UK, there are hundreds of pet boarding places situated all over the country that are set up to take the greatest care of the pet in the owners absence. Naturally the pet owners will want to know that their animal is well cared for, and all boarding places have to be issued with a licence from their local council or district.

Not surprisingly, with high ownership of dogs and cats, dog boarding kennels and catteries are widespread throughout the UK. Many other specialist pet boarders have evolved to take care of almost any other animal that can be kept as a pet - if you have guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rabbits, birds or even reptiles, it shouldn’t be hard to find a boarding establishment somewhere near your home.

For a pet owner, knowledge that their animal is being well cared for is paramount, especially for animals like dogs that still require their daily exercise - owners will not want to worry if their pet is kept behind bars all day long. Owners will be asked by the pet boarding establishment about their pet’s diet, or special treats, as well as details of vets in case of illness – this means the animal can be treated quickly by a vet that probably already knows the animal.
