Our Story
A beautiful country holiday home for your pet. 40 acres to walk around, peaceful surroundings on the edge of a pine forest. Your pets health and welfare are our first priority.
We board dogs, cats, rabbits, small animals and birds. If you have a special pet which is difficult to place while you go on holiday please contact us - we may be able to help.
Aquithie Kennels and Cattery caters for boarding and quarantine animals throughout Scotland and the UK. We offer a highly professional service with a very high standard of care. We also cater for those pets with extra special needs.
REIKI
I am a Reiki Master Practitioner and a member of the UK Reiki Federation. Working mainly with animals both hands on and distance healing. I have been a spiritual healer since I was very young. Distance is no object with Reiki, I can work with photographs. See our page "A Spring in their step".
QUARANTINE - due to the new PETS entry requirements we now offer emergency facilities.
With quarantine we ensure that the pets in our charge receive the best possible care, attention and stimulation to keep them active and happy, good food, toys and humans to play with and as much TLC as they would like. We ensure that they go home with no psychological hangups and as one lady said "Its like a timewarp, it's as though they have never been away". Another owner with three labradors told us "I can't believe it, they came home and into the house, went and sat in their beds and behaved as though they had just been for a walk down the road". These are the sort of comments that tell us that we are getting it right.
BOARDING
Our dog boarding kennels all have attached, fully covered outside runs with an interconnecting door to the bedroom area. The dogs have access all day to their bedrooms and come and go as they please. The kennel bedrooms have full hot blown air central heating so the whole building is cosy and warm and the dogs can move around happily without feeling cold. There are several large exercise areas for play time and a great time is had by all when chasing balls, playing with room mates. Playtime is always supervised by a member of staff who very happily joins in the fun. Each individual dog or family of dogs has their turn to play.
The boarding cattery has spacious units with a fleece blanket as a floor blanket, beds with cosy fleece blankets, scratching post and plenty of room for exercise. Owners are very welcome to bring their pets own beds, blankets, toys etc. if they would prefer. If they become soiled we would replace their own blankets until we had washed and dried the pets own and it would then be returned to them fresh and clean.
We are very happy to accept animals with health problems such as diabetics, epileptics, arthritis etc. The only animals we are unable to take are those which are infectious or contagious to our other guests.
We have a vet on call call 24 hours.
