BOARDING

Boarding is now available with The Animal Business.

Your dog can come and stay with us for the duration of your holiday or business trip.

We are fully licensed by Solihull Council.

 This is a legal requirement for anyone who provides accommodation as either day care or overnight boarding.  Each individual address will have its own licence - whether they are a “host family” or own the company - you can easily check on whether someone has a licence by ringing Solihull Council (Esther Atkins) on 0121 704 8000

All dogs staying for over a week will need to come and have a “dummy run” with us first so that we can be sure that the service that we provide is ideal for your pet. This will involve a half price overnight stay.

There are no pre-school age children at our home.  We do however have a rather lovely cat (see photo on the cat sitting page)

We only accept well socialised quiet dogs. New dogs are introduced slowly to the regular pack that come in - we tend to have gundogs in mainly - terriers would have to be totally cat friendly - Molly our cat is getting a bit slow in her old age and we don’t want “an accident” :-(

We have a large “quiet” room for puppies or elderly dogs that you would rather were kept separate. We also have a range of Savic crates in various sizes - we only crate dogs with the full consent of their owners - normally dogs that stay have their own small bedroom. These have been specifically designed to be fairly destruction proof.

The dogs are allowed to freely mingle outside and in the dogs areas - varying doors and gates can be closed to keep certain dogs together.  Everyone has a biscuit and “time out” at lunchtime where they each go into their individual rest areas. Dogs adapt to this routine very easily and are usually grateful for a bit of a rest!

We have a doggie paddling pool which we get out in the warmer weather - this has proven to be very popular with the labradors!!

We are happy to provide all bedding and titbits - we just need you to bring your dogs food

Sorry but we cannot accept entire males over the age of 9 months or bitches in season.

All dogs coming in for daycare and overnight boarding need to be up to date with their vaccinations including kennel cough, as well as fully protected by flea and worming treatments.

Boarding - Small dogs £15.00 per night

Medium /Large dogs £17.00 per night

Prices are per 24 hour stay

Bank holidays are charged at an additional 50% if the duration of the stay is less than 7 days - no extra charge if the duration is over 7 days.
