Wenden Boarding Kennels

Wenden Boarding Kennels is now closed and unlikely to re-open . We have a variety of accommodation to suit the differing natures of dogs.
(27)

Mary and myself would like to thank all our past and present customers a safe and happy future, as we take on new challenges . Wenden Kennels is a fully licensed establishment with over 35 years of experience, which offers an all year round welcome to dogs of all breeds. Set in two acres of the Dublin Mountains, Wenden Kennels is only a 10 minute drive from Rathfarnham Village, Tallaght and the M

50 motorway. The kennels are open to the public for collection and delivery Monday to Saturday between 10am and 1pm and between 6pm and 7pm. Each dog is individually cared for in secure individual kennels (at the request of owners dogs from the same household can be accommodated together). All dogs are individually exercised under supervision within securely fenced exercise areas. During the day, if not being exercised then the dogs are housed in covered individual runs in a courtyard design which allows the dogs to see and hear other dogs and to express their normal behaviour patterns. At night each dog is brought inside into their individual sleeping quarters where sleeping baskets are provided. This routine ensures the dogs have maximum interaction with staff members.

Top tips for keeping Christmas hazard-free for dogs:

1. Protect your pet from poisons: A range of festive treats & traditions, such as chocolate in advent calendars & sweets, raisins, xylitol (found in sugar-free treats), nuts, grapes, liquorice, poinsettia, holly & mistletoe are toxic to dogs.
2. Keep decorations out of reach: Ribbons, wrapping paper, baubles, tinsel & tree lights can seem like appealing playthings to cats & dogs but can be very dangerous if broken, chewed or swallowed. Batteries for Christmas gifts also need to be kept safe as, if ingested, they may cause severe chemical burns to the mouth, throat & stomach.
3. Forget festive food for pets: We all enjoy a richer diet over Christmas, but fatty foods & Christmas dinners shouldn’t be shared with the animals of the household. They can trigger sickness & diarrhoea or other conditions from gastroenteritis to pancreatitis, so try to stick to your pet’s regular diet & routine. Too many treats can also lead to pet obesity.
4. Keep away the bones: Cooked bones, including turkey bones, should not be given to pets as they can splinter & puncture the digestive tract. They can also cause serious constipation requiring emergency intervention.
5. Stranger danger: With unfamiliar visitors ringing doorbells, popping in, or even staying a few days this can often increase stress levels for dogs. Please always make sure there's a safe space (quiet room or den) available for them to destress, consider pheromone plug-ins, don't play music or karaoke too loud & party poppers can cause anxiety too. Remember kids also need to be trained to safely approach/be around dogs to help prevent dog bites plus trip to A&E over Christmas.
6. Rock salt/grit on roads: If dogs get it on their paws or fur their inclination will be to lick or chew it off, but this poses a risk. Ingestion of salt by pets can result in a high blood sodium concentration & this can lead to vomiting, lethargy, convulsions & kidney damage. After walks don't forget to wipe your dog's feet & clean any exposed fur (such as on their legs or tummy).

Happy Christmas

Statement from IKC

The IKC are concerned that the legislation regarding the cutting of ears and tails in dogs is openly being ignored by some individuals and organisations.

This is illegal in Ireland and The Irish Kennel Club are instructing our members not to take part in organising, exhibiting, judging, assisting or promoting events or organisations that facilitate dogs that have been illegally operated on.
