How do I Make a Booking ?

The Booking can be made on line via e-mail although we will wish to speak to you about your pet. Understanding their requirements before their arrival  will allow us to prepare thoroughly to make their stay a place away from home.

Alternatively you can phone us 327 7015. Evenings are best as we are often out in the exercise areas with the dogs.

Remember to make bookings for Christmas Holidays early

What do I need to bring for my pet?

Most important is that your pet has a current vaccination certificate not more than 12 months old and not less than 10 days before visiting.

You are welcome to bring your dog or cats favourite bedding and or toy.

We ask that your dog is kept on a lead at all times on arrival and departure.

All food will be supplied however if your pet is on a special prescription diet it may be necessary for you to bring the required food with you. Freezer space is available for pre cooked meals.

What are your Charges?

Our kennel charges start from $18.00 per day for small dogs to $22.00 per day for Labrador - boxer size with a discount for a second dog sharing the same kennel. Extra large dogs price on application. A surcharge of $6.00 on public holidays applies to cover staff labour costs.

Rates for dogs staying longer than three weeks will be discussed on an individual basis.

Cat Charges start from $12.00 per day, $20.00 for two cats, $25 for three cats sharing the same unit.

Our fee structure works like motels. Pets not collected by 11.00am will incur an additional charge.

Training Classes

We are very fortunate to have on our staff Gail Hamblin a well known competitor and instructor of obedience and puppy classes. Gail is available for private lessons or group training. These lessons can be done at Glenstar to take advantage of the secure areas. The costs for these sessions is a private arrangement between the client and instructor and not part of the boarding fees.

What Food Do you feed

We recommend and feed Pro Plan Premium foods not only to our guests but our own cats and dogs as well. However we will feed your pet whatever you normally feed him. Please discuss your pets diet with us, for some  on very specialised veterinary diets it may be necessary to bring their food with you.

Dogs are feed twice a day with puppies and dogs on special diets on individual programmes.

Cats enjoy a smorgasbord of dry foods all day long with feeding morning and evening with a selection of whiskers, fancy feast or chef as well as raw beef. Should your cat require special food or treats we ask that you bring these with you as it is impossible to supply the wide range of cat foods available.

We are able to supply Pro Plan Premium foods to you at reasonable rates. Order on line or at time of leaving your pet.
