Parasites
It is recommended your pet is on an effective de flea programme, obtained from your vet.
Please ensure your pets have been treated for parasites 7 to 14 days prior to boarding with a veterinary recommended product, preferably administered by a vet. A record the product used, and the date administered will be required. Spot on products should be applied to the animals skin between the back of the neck and shoulder blades. Product applied to the pet’s fur or coat will NOT provide immunity, the whole product MUST be applied to the skin only. Please note, all pets need to be treated including ‘house’ cats. Over the counter products such as Bob Martin and Frontline are proving ineffective, and therefore considered unsuitable for acceptance into a Boarding Cattery. Fumigation and veterinary fees for any infestation whilst boarding, will be passed on to the owner at a cost of £30 per pet to cover treatment and fumigation. In severe cases this may also incur a veterinary call out fee, charges will be passed to the owner.
Should your pet need to be taken to the vet, a £40 transportation fee will be charged plus 50p per mile.

The holding of your data is necessary for us to comply with the law; to assist in good animal care; in dialoguing with your vet if necessary for the care of your pet and to provide you with the best service possible.
We require your consent to continue to hold your data beyond 2 years from the boarding dates and to effect future bookings using your old records. When you rebook, legal obligations re data are again in force.
