We have limited space for dogs that:

Pull excessively or can't be let off-lead
You'll be asked to sign a form acknowledging the risks of group boarding.
Wildlife Awareness
Please let us know if your dog chases wildlife or livestock (e.g. sheep, pheasants, horses), as these may be present in nearby fields.
Bitches in Season
We cannot accept bitches in season or within 3 weeks after their season ends.
Feeding
We feed premium kibble (Duck & Rice or Salmon & Rice).
You're welcome to bring your dog's own food, but raw diets are not allowed due to health risks.

We do not accept dogs with a history of aggression.
Owners are fully liable if their dog bites or injures another dog, animal, or person.

Unfortunately, we cannot board the following breeds (or their crosses):
German Shepherds, Huskies, Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Patterdale Terriers, or Dobermans.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We look forward to welcoming your dog to Dog Lodge!
