corvus Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Looking for recommendations for boarding kennels. The boys have never done kennels before and I'm a bit nervous about it. We are in Southern Sydney, but happy to travel to get them somewhere that will take good care of them. ETA Aside from PAX, who I've already contacted. I know Calabash and Meadowmist have been recommended as well, but hoping to find something closer. Edited October 3, 2011 by corvus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I love Acacia Lodge but she doesn't take many dogs and may be already booked out. Looking for recommendations for boarding kennels.

snippet Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Not sure if anyone has used them, but there is Hanrob Kennels at Heathcote. You can tour their facilities from 9 to 4pm with no appointment according to their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Sharalea/Aussie Dog Squad - they are at Picton but will pickup from anywhere in Sydney... (02) 4683 2467 My dogs don't want to come home after staying there... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Acacia Lodge was booked out. A friend suggested Allendell in Darkes Forest a while back and so I gave them a call. She did actually know what a Vallhund and a Lapphund was, so that's a good start! She was happy for us to come and have a look around. Hanrob is really expensive and I don't really like the huge number of dogs they handle. I've been told they have their very own strain of kennel cough.

I had a client who used to board their GSD at Allendell and were happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel_P Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 All four have kennel cough - which I can understand however one of the toy poodles was so hot to the touch, after getting her home we got her to the vet first thing this morning - she had a temperature of over 40! All four dogs lost at least 1 kg each and my two white boys (maltese shihtzus had yellow feet and stank! We phoned this morning - the kennels do not have drainage so they must have been walking in their own urine for seven days to have that smell!

What's the go with boarding kennels do they take you for a tour so you can see or is it a shop front situation as in you don't get to go inside?

Esky the husky Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Depends on the boarding kennel mumof4girls Some have a certain time you can get shown around. That way the dogs aren't constantly getting excited about newcomers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
