Luxury Kennel

Our latest addition the Luxury Kennel was opened in December 2010 and provides spacious, airy accommodation with the benefit of temperature controlled under floor heating throughout.  Temperature probes embedded in the floor beneath the kennel units enable local control of the temperature in specific kennels, so whether the guest is young, active and less likely to feel the cold  or more mature in years and requires an additional level of warmth it is simply a matter of the touch of a button to provide the temperature the guest prefers.

Using our experience of being pet owners over the years, when it came to designing a new kennel unit from scratch we made space a key design requirement. All the kennel units are as a minimum double kennels, whether occupied by a single guest or two.  We also made family accommodation a priority and built family units some of which are more than capable of housing four to six of the largest of breeds together with ease.  So whatever your needs and requirements, be your pets puppies, young and highly active, or in their golden years and like a little peace and quiet we are able to offer unmatched facilities and service.

Standard Kennel

The Standard Kennel building was completed in the mid 1990’s and is constructed of brick and block with cavity walls and double glazing under a tiled roof (just like a modern house) to provide the quality of care every dog should be offered as a minimum.  Centrally heated the unit provides excellent value, with good accommodation in a safe hygienic environment with direct views of and access to the exercise fields and the opportunity is there for those who like to see other dogs running but direct contact is prevented by the boundary fence.

All guests, standard or luxury are provided a dog bed and clean washed bedding (unless provided by the owner) to ensure the guest is comfortable and has a enjoyable and relaxed stay.  Should the weather turn inclement and the guest gets wet (or soiled) when exercising, bedding is changed for clean dry materials and the guest towelled-off.

All our dog receive individual exercise in one of a our three exercise areas ranging in size from two to five acres, all with six foot fences.

The amount of exercise is dependent of your dogs needs. We suit that on a individual basis to each dog and to what level they require and the length of stay while with us.

All our dogs are exercised off the lead unless asked otherwise by the owner.

Our dogs are never mixed with other boarders but have the chance to interact if they wish with other dogs through the secure fence.

We exercise our dogs at least twice a day come rain, wind or shine 365 days a year.

Dogs boarded with us receive as a minimum twice daily exercise and play time in our fenced paddocks as standard.  We are pleased to offer a service for additional exercise, i.e. extra walks or one on one time.  You can choose to do a one-off slot, or multiple extra slots as you require.

Cattery

As all cat owners know, cats are discerning and shrewd customers who think only the best will do (and rightly so, we think), so when considering the layout for the cattery the customer view point was paramount. Cats like to look and watch, from the security of the perfect perch, which offers comfort with shelter, all our cat units look out over the front garden of the house which attracts the wildlife the Kent countryside has in abundance. Wyncot has a long boundary fence with the Wye National Nature Reserve and woodlands which attracts a diverse and extensive concentration of birds and animals both day and night.  As owners of a little piece of wonderful countryside we take a keen interest in attracting all forms of wildlife into the garden and surrounding fields and woodland.  To this end we expend time and money in bird and small animal feedstuffs so that our feline guests can appreciate the visual montage that plays across the garden every day of the week, summer and winter.

Laundry Services

As we provide clean washed bedding for our canine and feline guests we have invested in industrial washing machines and dryers; Our industrial washer and dryers can accommodate large loads of 10kg and are available for customer laundry items at very reasonable prices.
