Accommodation: Your pet can be accommodated in their own cage, or cages are available for hire for some species if your own cage is not portable. We have a few cages which all meet the minimum space requirements for the relevant species.
Exercise: We can provide handling and exercise for your pets during their stay. We use either indoor runs or a safe free range area depending on the animal.
Health & Hygiene: If your pet is unwell or injured during their stay veterinary care will be provided. Any fees will be payable by you on collection of your pet.
Your pet's cage will be spot cleaned (obvious dirty or wet areas cleaned) during their stay, and if necessary a full clean will be done. For small mammals we usually use Fitch, which is a low dust paper bedding. You are welcome to provide your own bedding if your pet is used to something different.
You will be asked to provide your pets own food for the duration of the stay , if not enough is provided you will be charged for purchasing more .
All fresh produce & some treats will be provided by ourselves !
