Kowai offers long and short term boarding at Leithfield for individual pets or family groups. The kennels and cattery cater for all ages, large or small, and for those with special needs due to age, dietary requirements or medical conditions.
Handy Country Location : Heading north for a holiday in Nelson or a weekend in Kaikoura or Hanmer Springs? Drop your pet off on the way and collect them on your way home. Conveniently located 30 minutes north of Christchurch.
New owners Shaune and Claire Howarth are happy to continue the previous owner Angela’s approach to pet care with care and attention given to all who call us home. Shaune and Claire have cared for animals all their lives and have recently moved back from Australia where they provided a foster home for abandoned and surrendered animals.
