Welcome to Millmount Dogs! Thank you for visiting for our page

Here at Millmount Dogs we take the pampering of your pooch very seriously.

Having a very spoilt black labrador ourselves we understand that your dog is part of your family so you can rest assured that whilst in our care they will be treated as if they are one of our own.

We are convientley located on the edge of castle lake forest which means not only do our guests have fantastic daily walks they also have a gorgeous view from their accommodation.

As we only have 5 kennels all of our boarders receive the individual attention they need and deserve whilst they are with us.

We are happy to take enquiries at any time so please don't hesitate to contact us.

We encourage our customers to come and have a look around and you are very welcome to do this at anytime as there is always someone here although we do ask that you telephone to let us know you are coming first so we can make sure they gates are open.

You are able to drop off and collect your dog at a time convenient to you as long as you can give us a rough idea of what times they will be.

*Please note collection after 2pm will be charged at an extra day's rate

Having been around animals since before I could walk and also with working with them all day everyday I decided I wanted to be able to immortalise them in portraits…..

I work in pastel pencil and create lifelike portraits of your beloved pets that will last forever.

Having a trio of very spoilt dogs ourselves, Tia our Black Lab, Lady our Golden retriever who we rescued and Minty our Border Collie that we inherited, we understand that your dog is very much part of your family so you can rest assured that whilst they are in our care they will be treated as if they are one of our own.

All of our kennels comfortabley house 2 large dogs with an internal kennel of 7ft 6 long x 5ft 4 wide and a connected external run of 14ft long x 5ft 4 wide.

We also have a larger kennel which will accommodate 2 giant breeds or 3 large dogs with an internal kennel of 7ft 6 long x 7ft wide and a connected external run of 14ft long x 10ft wide.

We now have a luxury suite which has an indoor area of 8ft long x 12ft and a connected external run of 14ft long x 16ft wide . The indoor area offers all the home comforts including a leather sofa, rugs on the floor in front of a fireplace with mirror above, complete with sparking chandelier :) 

Our kennels are a purpose built which are fully insulated with Kingspan insulated roofing, fully insulated walls and insulated internal panels separating the indoor part of the kennels.

Each of the kennels has an insulated door connecting to the external run which is closed up at night time when are our guests are in bed.

The exterior runs are covered which allows our guests to remain dry if they wish to be outside even when it's raining.

All of the windows and doors are double glazed.

We have laid safety non slip flooring to all of the flooring areas.

Each kennel is equipt with a comfy bed, water and feed bowls and plenty of sqeaky toys and balls.

You are of course welcome to bring your dogs own bed and toys if you feel they will enjoy their stay all the more with their own bits and pieces.

We are currently converting one of our barns into a "play barn" so once it has been pooch proofed your dogs will be able to play for at least an hour a day in there which will have a ball pool and bean bags and as many toys as they can cope with.

Until this is done our guests have access to their 14ft attached run all day long.

After breakfast we go for a walk around our 3 acres and this is repeated in the evening, so as well as the main walk of the day they get plenty of mooching time.

Around mid afternoon we set off for a walk around Castle Forest Lake which takes roughly 45mins, depending on whether the dogs decide to take a dip in the lake.

We are happy to allow dogs off the lead but only once we have permission from owners which is signed for at drop off stage. If you don't sign to say they are safe to go off the lead then they will remain on the lead the whole time. Whilst in our care, all dogs have a 'Millmount Boarding Kennels' tag added to their collar.

If we have dogs that prefer to be walked on their own, for example an elderly dog that likes to take their time, then these will be walked separately as we understand each dog is different and have their own needs.

We understand that dogs may find it easier to settle in if they have something that reminds them of being at home and therefore if you would like to bring along their own bed and toys then this is absolutely fine.

At bed time all of our guest have a bed time biscuit before lights out.

We have a radio playing all day long which again can remind them of being at home.

Whilst most dogs are perfectly happy to stay in the kennel building we know that some dogs, such as our own, would only be happy staying in a home environment and in this case we are happy to accept them into our own home.

For our dogs that have a little bit more extra energy than some but who aren't allowed to be let off the lead we have own own extendable leads which means they have the freedom to run on further whilst we still have control.

For dogs that just need to spend the day with us, rather than staying over night we charge a rate of €10.00 per day which will include all abover mentioned.

Jo is a trained professional groomer and we offer a shampoo, condition, blow dry, brush out and nails clipped for €15.00 but if you are boarding with us this will be reduced to €10.00!!

A full range of services is available on our website.

We now offer pet portraits and details and examples of this service can be found on Facebook under Millmount Pet Portraits.
