Amberhill Boarding Kennels & Cattery

Hours:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 9 till 11am and again 4 till 6pm. Wednesdays CLOSED. Saturdays 9 till midday only. Sundays 10 till midday only.

We are a small, family run business, located about 6 miles from Boston. We do everything possible to make sure that all our guests are happy, healthy and well cared for whilst they are under our supervision. We understand that animals don’t always find it easy to feel relaxed out of their normal home environment and away from their families, so we do all we can to keep stress to a minimum. For this reason we can not allow visitors to walk around the kennel area as it unsettles the dogs...we’re guessing it would be like having the general public walking through your house every day...not very relaxing hey!? We do allow people to walk through the cattery, as the cats don’t get disturbed like the dogs.

All guests must be fully vaccinated to stay with us, this includes the kennel cough vaccine for the dogs. The kennel cough vaccine is a live vaccination so if your dog has had the vaccine within 14 days of coming to stay, you will be asked to take your dog elsewhere!!

We have a variety of different food to feed our guests. For cats we use good quality biscuits that contain no colours and felix meat in pouches. For the dogs, we have a choice of the following...raw minced chicken or tripe, pedigree tinned meat and mixer, a hyperallergenic brand (usually Harringtons) a premium brand (usually Salters) and a working dog mix which doesn’t contain any colours. If you know your pet has a sensitive stomach or is a fussy eater, you’re more than welcome to bring their normal food.

On arrival, please leave your pets safely in the car until one of us has seen the vaccination certificate. Once out of the car, and secured on a lead, do not let your dog p*e up anything on the yard (this is our home and once one dog scent marks, they’ll all be doing it and the place will stink!) they’ll have opportunity to relieve themselves once off the lead around the kennels.

Dogs are let out regularly throughout the day to play, socialise and do jobs! Only dog friendly dogs will be allowed to play together, as we don’t want any arguments or unnecessary injuries.

Both the kennels and the cattery have heating which is included in the price.

We are insured and licensed.

We have been doing this job day in, day out, come rain or shine for the past 11 years now. If any of you work with the general public you will be fully aware that you can’t please everyone no matter how hard you try. But remember, we are only human and we can sometimes make mistakes or come across wrong. We are, as a rule, very honest and straight talking people who will always let you know EXACTLY how your pet has been during their stay with us. If you don’t like honesty and would prefer not to really know the ins and outs of what your pet has been up to, then this is not the kennels/cattery for you.

Lastly, thank you for choosing us to care for your pets.
