Summer Hill Kennels

The Kennels

Individually heated kennels and well-insulated buildings provide warm, comfortable accommodation for all breeds, ages and sizes of dogs. Plastic beds with thermal Vetbed for bedding, together with epoxy floors (not just painted) means we can maintain an extremely high level of hygiene.

Dogs have access at all times to an attached covered run in addition to being exercised daily in our 2 acres of securely fenced grass exercise paddocks. All dogs are exercised individually unless from the same household.

Attention to detail has been a priority in the design and construction of all our boarding units. We have kennel units specifically designed for small, large and families of dogs in addition to a separate kennel unit for animals in need of convalescence or rest, bitches in whelp or with new litters, and also bitches in season.

Bedding, Bowls and Toys

All bedding, bowls etc., is provided by Summer Hill Boarding Kennels, but if you bring your own pet's bedding then please ensure it is cleaned about two days prior to boarding so it has familiar smells for comfort. All the kennels are individually heated so we know your dog will be warm and cosy. We also encourage a comfort toy for your companion while he is staying with us.

Illness

In the unfortunate event of a dog becoming ill during his stay, a veterinary surgeon is on call 7 days a week. We have full isolation facilities and an examination room for this purpose. Our vet is located less than half a mile away. Summer Hill Boarding Kennels insurance will cover any costs incurred if the illness is a result of his stay with us. If it is as a result of a pre-existing condition we will ask you to meet the cost.

Vaccinations

All dogs boarding with us must hold a current vaccination certificate (DHLP), plus the INTRAC vaccine for kennel cough. We regret that without this no dog will be admitted to the kennels. This will need to be produced each time your dog stays at Summer Hill.

Food and Medication

We have a comprehensive range of dog food available, from popular tinned products to complete all in one feeds. Veterinary diets can also be catered for as well as dogs with specific feeding instructions. No discount is given if owners bring in their own food.

We are also happy to administer medication if required.

The kennels are fully insured, and licensed by the Local Authority.

We feed Arden Grange to all our boarders. This is a Premium food which we also retail. Arden Grange Petfood are nutritionally complete, gluten-free dry foods for cats and dogs. They are formulated to such high standards that they provide optimum nutrition for your cat and do, but go one stage further by providing an enhanced quality diet that has fresh chicken meat, grade 'A' chicken meal, fresh salmon or lamb meat as its primary ingredients.
