BOARDING

We are now able to offer 3 different types of boarding for your dogs .....

Boarding here at The Animal Business - Single Home Boarding with a host family and House Sitting where my staff will come and stay in your home and look after any combination of pets that you may have ... (please see separate page for full details of this service.)

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 license - whether they are a “host family” or own the company - you can easily check on whether someone has a licence by ringing Solihull Council on 0121 704 8000

Boarding with The Animal Business - Small Dogs (Westies etc) £17.00 per night for the first 7 nights then £15.00 per night thereafter.

Medium /Large Dogs (Springers and Labradors etc) £18.50 per night for the first 7 nights then £17.00 per night thereafter.

Second dog from the same family is half price.

Prices are per 24 hour stay.

Drop off and collection times are between 7.15am - 9.30am and 4.30pm - 6.30pm

There are no pre-school age children living at our home but we do have a 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 specially 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 or to separate out really naughty ones (like Honey Hunter...) 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 dog’s food.

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

All dogs coming in for day care 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.

Single home boarding - £22.00 per night regardless of length of stay or size of dog. (Second dog from the same family is half price)

Prices are per 24 hour stay.

With this option we are able to place your dogs with a host family so that they can live there for the duration of your holiday - they will be the only dog that is boarding there and we feel that this is a great option for many pet owners

Our host families have experience of dogs and will be at home for the majority of the day so your dog will have plenty of human company!

House sitting - our fully insured staff (the lovely Chantelle) will come and stay in your home and look after any pets that you may have in situ.  Please see our house sitting page for details and prices.
