Sorry to have to do this moving forward but as a result of too many last minute changes to dates / cancellations.
A €50 non refundable admin/booking fee will now be taken on all stays over 5 days.
Failure to cancel booking within 14 days of stay will result in a 50% of stay charge. This includes shortening of stays. Any stays shortened within this 14 day window will result in you having to still pay for the room reserved for original dates.
We reserve a room for your pet & have refused others to stay for those dates. It is too hard to refill these spaces with only 2 weeks notice.
I am also no longer taking “provisional bookings” as I feel I was loosing out on genuine bookings because of it.
We are a small business trying to do our best to facilitate everyone 🤍
This has been in our T&Cs for a while now but I haven’t had to enforce it.
Link to T&Cs in bio & also attached to sign in sheet. If you want a copy forwarded to you let me know ❤️

As the nights are getting colder we have the heating going again to keep your furries toasty day & night. The kennels are heated with a large stove and 12 radiators to keep everyone warm. For those who need the extra bit of heat at night Heated rooms will now be charged @ €2 PER NIGHT I’ve had no choice but to charge for this with the massive increase in the cost of living 🥰 As always thank you all for your support 🐶 April 🐶 x

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING ❤️
🐾 We are now CLOSED for drop offs and collections on a SUNDAY - all 2023 bookings in the diary already won’t be changed 🥰
🐾 Prices are per night - From 9,30am that morning until up to 12pm the following day.
🐾 Evening collections can be arranged by appointment only (on booking) depending on availability of room (if not needed for new arrival).Guests availing of evening collections will be charged €10 PER GUEST for that day also.
🐾 These times have to be adhered to. Some guests have to be put into rooms for new arrivals and guests arriving/going staggered through out the day completely messes up their routine. This is also a working farm with machinery & farm animals about so I need to have a set time that works for both.
🐾All dogs MUST be up to date with all yearly vaccines before staying here with us.
This includes - DHPPi (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus & parainfluenza) L4 (leptospirosis) & KC (kennel/canine cough) 🐾

Our policy is that the KENNEL COUGH vaccine must be administered AT LEAST TWO WEEKS before staying. So please check your vaccine card before booking.
Bookings are only finalised when a photo of your vaccine card is sent to me & all vaccines are up to date. 🥰
Unfortunately without evidence of vaccinations I can not have your dog say.

Kennel cough is a live vaccine and dogs can shed the virus afterwards. Also they can show symptoms of the virus for 5-7 days after the vaccine. So for both of these reasons I can not have freshly vaccinated dogs stay. ‼️
Please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions about your dogs vaccination programme. ☺️

April
Thank you all again for your continued support 🐕.

🚨🚨🚨 STILL MISSING 🚨🚨🚨 6 days later 💔 REWARD for anyone who can get Nala home! She got out of her house in Rathshanmore, Hacketstown on the Carlow/ Wicklow boarder but could have travelled a good distance by now … Not one person has seen her. How ?? Someone has to know something 😕 Please please look into the fields as your passing, ask your elderly relatives/friends who might not have social media, listen for barking/noises somewhere you know wouldn’t usually have dogs about, check your sheds or outhouses. Please share and get Nala home where she belongs, heart is broken not knowing that she’s safe. ❤️
