My pet has never been in kennels before and/or has a very nervous temperament.
Obviously we know how much your pets mean to you being a valuable member of your family. Worrying if your dogs/cats will be ok is a normal feeling. You can trust us to provide as much loving care and attention as if they were our own. Rest assured your pet will safe, secure and relaxed during their stay with us.
If your pet is very nervous we would spend extra time gaining their trust giving lots of affection and one to one attention. We would also suggest to bring in an item of clothing, such as an unwashed t-shirt with a familiar scent, as well as their favourite toys or covers to help them relax.
If your dog or cat wont eat we will encourage them, with your approval by offering them chicken, cheese or sausages etc to tempt them to eat, this often works a treat. As with cats, tuna fish etc normally does the trick.
We also suggest maybe a trial stay for a few days especially if your pet is booked in for a long stay with us. We would always be honest on how well your pet has settled in with us.
We always ask for a contact number for you. So if we were seriously concerned we would contact you straight away.
