What is Cage Free Boarding?
- Cage free boarding is like traditional dog boarding however they stay with us as if they were part of our family and are allowed to roam free, sleep indoors where they please with an emphasis on caring for your dogs mental health.
- As the owner of two sensitive rescues I know they would hate to be alone or sleep in a kennel so I have created my business to offer the same level of care I would want for them.
- We have the ability to separate the dogs into smaller groups should any personality clashes arise but we do not punish or isolate any dog in our care.
- While they are with us they play with humans, dogs, are surrounded by enrichment toys, fed homemade healthy treats and most importantly are kept safe!
- Owners also find it comforting to know they aren’t home alone, destroying furniture or, even worse, feeling sad and scared.
Will my dog go outside?
- Yes! our home is on one acre of land with manicured and forest land for the dogs to roam free and chase squirrels or bask in the sun.
- Should it be bad weather and your dog would like to stay indoors they will also have an array of enrichment toys and treats to keep them well entertained.
Where are you based?
- We are based in Donegal, Contact us directly for the Eircode.
How many dogs will be there?
- I take no more than four dogs at a time (not including my own dog) In order to give each dog to get the attention and affection they need during their stay I ensure not to overbook.
My dog is not castrated/spayed can they still come?
- Generally due to safety reasons we tend not to accept uncastrated or unspayed dogs but we do decide on a case by case basis. please reach out to discuss your dogs needs further!
How will I know if my dog is suitable?
- As our land is beside rural farms we can not accept dogs who are reactive or over interested in livestock unless they are incapable of jumping the boundary.
- Your dog must have good general behaviour in order to attend any dog-dog group play.
- They must not have a history of showing aggression or exhibiting threatening behaviour to any person or other dogs.
- Your dog must also not be overly possessive of food or toys as both will always be available.
- Your dog must not have a history of escaping houses and enclosures.
